The road to WrestleMania 41 will go through Madison Square Garden next week on RAW, featuring an explosive Steel Cage match between two heated rivals.
The March 3rd, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix emanated from the KeyBank Arena in Buffalo, New York. The start of the show was a heated segment featuring CM Punk. Following the events that went down, a huge Steel Cage is set to take place next week on RAW from the World's Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden.

CM Punk launched a verbal barrage on WWE superstars after the Elimination Chamber 2025

CM Punk pulled up in his vehicle and came down to the ring to address the events of the Elimination Chamber 2025. Punk had a lot on his mind and began his verbal assault directed at three of the top WWE superstars. Punk began with The Final Boss, The Rock, calling him a "bald fraud" and mocking him for his misuse of power as the TKO Board member. He turned his attention to John Cena, claiming that he saw Cena for the real sellout he had been for all those years.
The Best in the World called him out for selling lies and "bullsh*t" to kids and giving up on himself and those whom he inspired. Punk claimed that he will see both Cena and The Rock down the road. Finally, he addressed the man who cost him the win at the Elimination Chamber, Seth Rollins. Punk did not refrain from mentioning his wife, Becky Lynch, in his promo.

This led to Rollins coming out, and Punk wasted no time by running up to the entrance ramp to brawl with him. Both heated rivals continued to beat each other up until WWE officials pulled them apart. It did not stop there as Rollins spotted Punk backstage and continued brawling with him, with the officials once again intervening to separate them and end the chaos.

RAW General Manager Adam Pearce said that he was tired of witnessing their tensions and told Rollins to end it once and for all with Punk. Pearce made a Steel Cage match between the duo for next week on RAW at Madison Square Garden.
