A WrestleMania main event caliber steel cage match has been made official for next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw from Madison Square Garden. CM Punk opened this week’s episode of the Red Branded Show with another one of his iconic promos, calling John Cena and The Rock ‘bald frauds.’
The promo turned into a huge brawl with the introduction of Seth Rollins into the mix after Rollins cost Punk his chance to main-event WrestleMania at Saturday’s Elimination Chamber PPV. The officials had a hard time separating the two as they continued to brawl for several minutes in one of the best opening segments of Raw of all time.
The Stage Is Set For Roman Reigns’ Return
Rollins and Punk did not wait for the next opportunity to tear each other apart for long after this, however, as they went at it again backstage not long after their fight in the ring. Seth then had a shouting match with Adam Pearce surrounded by security. Finally having enough, the Raw General Manager gave in to The Architect’s demands and booked a steel cage match between the two bitter rivals for the March 10 episode of Raw.
This match at the legendary arena perfectly sets up the stage for the return of Roman Reigns and it’d be interesting to see which of the two end up being his primary target on the show. The Tribal Chief has not been seen on WWE TV since Royal Rumble where he was eliminated by CM Punk and then taken out with multiple brutal curb stomps by Rollins.
