CM Punk wasn’t done after winning the #1 contender’s spot on WWE RAW—he tried to take out Seth Rollins with a steel chair in a wild moment that played out after the cameras stopped rolling.

The October 13 edition of Monday Night RAW ended with Punk defeating LA Knight and Jey Uso to earn a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. But the drama wasn’t over. After The Vision betrayed Seth Rollins and left him laid out in the ring, Punk emerged from the back, steel chair in hand, and locked eyes with the fallen champion.

Fans at RAC Arena in Perth watched as Punk made his way down, glaring at Rollins and The Vision before setting his sights on the injured champ. With a referee helping Rollins recover, Punk raised the chair—ready to strike.

Just before Punk could connect, Adam Pearce ran down and stopped him. The two exchanged words in a heated confrontation, and for a second, it looked like Pearce might be next. Punk teased hitting him with the chair too… but instead sat down on it, staring into the crowd.

His music hit, and he posed for fans, soaking in the reaction before heading backstage.

This post-show scene only fuels the chaos surrounding the upcoming World Heavyweight Title match. Seth Rollins just got betrayed by his own faction. CM Punk is acting like a man possessed. This is far from over.
