The current setup for the vent is 13,770, and the promotion has already distributed a total of 12,118. 1,652 tickets are yet to be sold but there is no doubt they will also sell out in no time given the WWE Universe is dying to see ‘The Best in the World’ wrestle.

Now, we know who’s going to be Punk’s first opponent. Let’s discuss who might be his first rival in WWE.

Will Punk start a rivalry with Seth Rollins?

The tension between Punk and Seth Rollins at Raw this week was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. The WWE Universe is not oblivious to Rollins’ aversion towards Punk. Many times in the past, ‘The Visionary’ has expressed his dislike for Punk and even asked him not to return to WWE.

Therefore, when he returned at Survivor Series last month, Rollins lost it and even flipped the bird. Coming back to this week’s Raw, Punk’s announcement to join the flagship show just rubbed more salt in Rollins’ wound. The latter came out to the ring to address his hatred for the latest Raw signee.

‘The Visionary’ is the top guy on Raw, carrying the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulders. Therefore, it is very highly likely that ‘The Second City Saint’ would choose him as his first target and his first rival in the promotion.
