Seth Rollins is likely to be the guest referee for the match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk at SummerSlam. There are expectations among the fans regarding their triple-threat match. But it looks like WWE would want to keep it intact for the biggest stage, like WrestleMania 41. It could mean a long story between the trio.
The tensions between the three are at an all-time high. Since his return at Survivor Series 2023, CM Punk has annoyed both McIntyre and Rollins. While he cost Seth the title at Money in the Bank, the second city saint screwed McIntyre on multiple occasions, from the WrestleMania XL to the Clash at the Castle and in the Money in the Bank.
It looks like WWE wants to slowly take the rivalry to its peak. The first step towards it could be Seth playing the second fiddle. After all, he has only returned to action a few weeks back and hasn't been affected much by the duo. Drew McIntyre has been the most affected by punk. He is angry to address the issue of Punk for all these weeks.
Will Seth Rollins cost CM Punk the match?
If the visionary would be in the match as a guest referee, it might be a big disadvantage for Punk. It could potentially be an unofficial handicap match. Both Drew and Seth have something against the voice of the voiceless. While the Scottish Warrior would be hoping to avenge regardless, Seth would want to avenge Punk, costing him the title match.
There is also a chance of Damian Priest entering the scenario. The Judgement Day member will not be a part of the rivalry at SummerSlam. But later in the feud, he could join Seth to take on Drew and Punk. During their feud, the revolutionary and El Campeon gained massive respect for each other. Priest was always in the scenario in the triple-threat feud and could have a reason to face Drew and Punk.
