PARIS: The ongoing feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins took a dramatic twist on Monday night RAW at Paris La Défense Arena, where Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch slapped Punk during a fiery in-ring exchange.
The tension first boiled over a night earlier at Clash in Paris, when Lynch intervened to help her husband Rollins retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Punk.
On Raw, Punk called out Rollins, but instead, Lynch emerged to confront him, declaring that the matter was personal and tied to her family.
She defended her husband’s legacy, insisting that Rollins had sacrificed more for the business than Punk could ever understand.
Punk didn’t hold back either, branding Rollins a coward and telling Lynch she was “more than just somebody’s wife,” before mocking her choice of partner.
The verbal battle escalated until Rollins appeared on the entrance ramp, daring Punk to say it to his face.
As CM Punk prepared to leave the ring, Becky Lynch stepped in his way and stunned him with a hard slap, drawing loud “AJ Lee” chants from the crowd, a nod to Punk’s wife and former WWE star.
Lynch quickly silenced the chants, reminding fans that AJ is no longer part of WWE.
The segment ended with Punk issuing a warning that both Rollins and Lynch would come to regret crossing him.
