WWE appears to be setting up a new top-level rivalry. Following a historic WrestleMania 42, this Monday’s Monday Night RAW, also held in Las Vegas, Nevada, featured an unexpected confrontation between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes.

Punk entered the ring in his first appearance since losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns and spoke about how he is feeling after the tough loss he suffered on Sunday.

The former champion recalled the recent losses of friends and his dog Larry, stating that WWE fans helped him get through all of that and that the same will happen with the title loss. Punk assured everyone that he will continue to stay ready, because you never know when a new title opportunity will come up.

At that moment, The Kingdom hit, and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes interrupted Punk’s promo.

Clearly banged up, Rhodes congratulated Punk on his match against Reigns and pointed out that, unlike him, who kept the title, Punk does not feel like a loser.

Clearly annoyed, Punk questioned why he should feel defeated. He explained that he gave everything he had in the ring against an opponent he genuinely hates. According to Punk, Rhodes had an even greater challenge, since facing Randy Orton meant fighting a friend. Punk, however, reaffirmed his commitment to staying ready, because you never know when a new opportunity will appear, while staring directly at Rhodes’ title.

The Las Vegas crowd erupted as Punk left the ring. At that moment, Rhodes shouted Punk’s name and said it is entirely up to him, hinting at the possibility of a future match for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
