The road to WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24 is heating up fast, with a blockbuster tag team match now confirmed following an intense episode of Monday Night Raw. CM Punk and Sami Zayn will team up to take on Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker in a match that stems from betrayal, long-standing grudges, and shifting alliances.
Punk’s Raw Return Fueled by Heyman Betrayal
CM Punk opened the show still emotionally wounded from Paul Heyman's WrestleMania betrayal. In a passionate promo, Punk admitted he was to blame for trusting Heyman again after over a decade of bad blood. The segment quickly escalated when Seth Rollins interrupted to defend Heyman, accusing Punk of avoiding accountability and playing the victim.
Tensions boiled over when Bron Breakker attacked Punk from behind, launching a vicious beatdown orchestrated by Rollins. Sami Zayn arrived to help Punk fight off the assault, but the numbers game proved too much. Just as it seemed all hope was lost, World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso made a surprise entrance, evening the odds and forcing Rollins and Breakker to retreat.

Meanwhile, Rollins, Breakker, and Heyman hinted at deeper plans in the works, leaving the WWE Universe questioning what their next move might be.
