Dave Meltzer previously confirmed that this high-profile bout is “the current planned main event” for the January 6, 2025, debut episode in Los Angeles. Adding to the report, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com provided an update, stating:
“For those who have asked about rumors bouncing around that CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins is taking place on the Raw Netflix premiere episode in Los Angeles, PWInsider.com was told this morning that is 100% the current direction they are going in. We were cautioned ‘anything can always change’ but that match is ‘absolutely part of the plan to come in nuclear hot’ for the Netflix debut on 1/6/25.”
