Seth began by hyping up his bout with Punk, saying it was ten years in the making. He said that no matter what, he'll continue to show up each and every week. He wondered if the same could be said about Punk, or if Punk would cry and take his ball and go home for another ten years.
Punk came out and fired back at Seth for saying he "took his ball and went home." He questioned if Steve Austin or Becky Lynch took their balls and went home. Punk said they both made their choices and he has no regrets. He wondered how Seth's neck, knee, insides, and pride were doing.
Punk said next Monday he gets to make a lot of money making making Seth a victim, "Little brother."
Seth said "little brother" didn't work on him and called out Punk for leaving, going on his friend's [Colt Cabana] podcast and tearing WWE down, and taking money from the competition [AEW]. "How did that work out?" Rollins asked.
Punk fired back by saying Seth didn't have his back and that he left because he got sick of the person he worked for [Vince McMahon], noting that person loved Seth. Punk said that he got hit with a lot of arrows as he walked out, but he wasn't dead, and that he was going to jam those arrows down Seth's "corporate throat."
Seth called Punk a cancer to everyone and the locker room and that you have to cut out the cancer.
The two men stood eye-to-eye as WWE Raw came to a close.
