While both wrestlers seem to be in a war of records, however, it was nothing compared to their feud in 2012. With Punk’s return, this could also be a continuation of the two’s rivalry.

CM Punk and The Rock’s iconic rivalry

One of the most interesting storylines was between Dwayne Johnson and CM Punk, which began on the 1000th episode of RAW in 2012. The Rock warned Punk that he would return for the WWE title and face him at Royal Rumble 2013. When Punk met The Rock at the Royal Rumble after 434 days of owning the WWE Championship, the feud took off.

The Great One triumphed, bringing an end to Punk’s legendary rule. With heated promos and verbal sparring, their feud grew more intense and concluded in another bout at the Elimination Chamber. Again, it was The Rock who was victorious at Elimination Chamber, making their way towards WrestleMania.

Well, it was certainly an intriguing storyline for the fans. But it seems that Punk’s return might have settled the score. Do you think there’s a possibility that the two will reignite their feud?
