The main event of last nightโ€™s Netflix debut episode of WWE RAW saw “The Best In The World” CM Punk defeat Seth “Freakin” Rollins in a singles match. Punk took part in the RAW on Netflix post-show press conference, where he talked about a number of topics including potentially facing John Cena or The Rock in a match.

Punk said, โ€œI think I want gold around my waist. But those two names come with big fat paychecks, so Iโ€™m not gonna say no to it. It could be interesting. I wouldnโ€™t say no to it, Iโ€™m into the big, high pressure money situations. I think thatโ€™s when I come alive. I definitely owe The Rock, I definitely owe John. I would welcome both of them with open arms. I saw John, passed in him the hallway. He looked a little tired, he looked like he needed to go to sleep. So Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll see him in Indianapolis.โ€

On if he feels he needs to main event WrestleMania:

โ€œWhile I think youโ€™d be foolish to say that it doesnโ€™t matter, I would also feel itโ€™s foolish to hold me to the same ideas and things that I said 10, 12 years ago. A lot of other people think that maybe I need to main event WrestleMania to โ€” I donโ€™t know, solidify anything Iโ€™ve ever done? Like, I never could have come back here and had a Hall of Fame career, right? So to me, yeah. If that opportunity arises, Iโ€™m not going to shy away from it. Because it scares the hell out of me, frankly. And I think if your dreams donโ€™t scare you, I think you need to find different ones, bigger ones. Main eventing the first Raw on Netflix is a pretty big deal though, so nobody else can say they did that.โ€

On dedicating his victory on RAW to TNAโ€™s Chris Bey and New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert:

โ€œThis match is for Chad Gilbert. This match is for Chris Bey.โ€

On how he is coming for both top WWE Champions:

โ€œ46 is just a number. One through 30, just numbers. Royal Rumble, youโ€™re next on the list. Gunther, Iโ€™m coming for you. Cody, Iโ€™m coming for you. Iโ€™m Mr. October. Iโ€™m Game 7. I am clutch. I am the best in the world.โ€
