As CM Punk’s rivalry with Seth Rollins’ new WWE faction grows more intense, Seth Rollins is considering the addition of another major star to his already powerful group. This shift follows a series of dramatic developments that took place during and after WrestleMania 41, shaking up WWE’s landscape and setting the stage for even greater confrontations in the coming weeks.
Seth Rollins forms a powerful alliance with surprising members
The formation of WWE’s latest top stable marked a significant moment at WrestleMania 41. Paul Heyman stunned fans by turning his back on both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, choosing to support Seth Rollins instead. The alliance soon expanded, with Bron Breakker joining immediately after WrestleMania on Monday Night RAW, followed by Bronson Reed, who aligned himself with the group at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Seth Rollins now leads this faction, supported by Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman, all working toward dominance within WWE.
The mission and rise of the Rollins-led faction
Seth Rollins, holding the title of Mr. Money in the Bank, is in a strong position for an inevitable championship run. His faction has made their ambitions clear—total takeover and superiority in WWE. Still, discussions are increasing around the possibility of adding a new member to further cement their dominance: Ethan Page, the current NXT North American Champion and a rising force in the wrestling world.
Why Ethan Page could be the perfect addition
Ethan Page stands out for his unique combination of experience, surprise value, and animosity toward CM Punk. As one of NXT’s hottest stars, with previous experience in TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and AEW, he brings immediate credibility. His presence on RAW would catch both fans and other wrestlers off-guard, especially because he is not currently considered part of the main roster landscape. Bringing in a reigning NXT champion would not only be unexpected but also highly disruptive and intriguing for WWE storylines.
The element of unpredictability adds to the rivalry’s drama
Ethan Page’s potential call-up would surprise both fans and other competitors, such as Sami Zayn and LA Knight, who have had issues with Rollins’ group before. With Page not being an obvious threat, his sudden involvement could dramatically shift the balance in ongoing rivalries, making matches even more unpredictable and escalating tensions, especially with key figures like CM Punk, who maintains a controversial and high-profile presence in WWE.
Personal history fuels animosity toward CM Punk
Ethan Page and CM Punk are far from strangers. Their past encounters in NXT were marked by heated exchanges and bitter resentment. Notably, Ethan Page believes CM Punk cost him the NXT Championship against Trick Williams and has openly displayed his disdain since then. Given CM Punk’s status as one of Rollins’ biggest nemeses and a polarizing legend in the industry, adding another outspoken rival to Punk could further deepen the rivalry between these superstars and add new fuel to ongoing storylines.
Ethan Page brings versatility and ruthlessness to the faction
Throughout his career, Ethan Page has shown an ability to succeed in singles matches, tag team bouts, and as a member of various wrestling stables. In the last seven months, his character has become known for ruthless attacks, injuring several stars, including Je’Von Evans. This change adds another layer of brutality and unpredictability, qualities that would fit well alongside Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and the strategic guidance of Paul Heyman. An alliance among these talents would pose a significant threat to CM Punk and others aiming for the top.
Strategic reasons behind adding a new member
The current stable led by Seth Rollins consists of established names, all with main event status—Rollins himself, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker. This dynamic presents a problem: the group has no obvious “fall guy” to absorb losses or handle the dirtier work often associated with stables. Adding Ethan Page as a faction member could address this gap, providing a talented wrestler with the flexibility to serve such a role, while also gaining status through association with Rollins’ high-profile group.
Importantly, filling this spot does not mean reducing Ethan Page’s status to a mere enhancement talent. His in-ring ability and compelling character ensure he remains a credible force, even in a supporting capacity. The combination of his relentless aggression and penchant for controversy makes him an ideal candidate for Paul Heyman and the rest of the faction, targeting Punk and any challengers to their dominance.
The road ahead for CM Punk and the WWE landscape
With mounting tension between CM Punk’s rivalry with Seth Rollins’ new WWE faction, speculation around Ethan Page’s possible inclusion adds another unpredictable element. Rivalries among figures like Roman Reigns, LA Knight, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Sami Zayn, and Ilja Dragunov continue to affect WWE’s competitive hierarchy. As WrestleMania’s aftermath unfolds, the power struggle intensifies, raising the stakes for everyone involved, while fans anticipate shocking developments in the ongoing battle for supremacy within WWE.
