A confrontation between CM Punk and Logan Paul on Monday Night RAW has set the stage for potential retribution at Saturday’s Elimination Chamber. The tension began when Paul interrupted the show to discuss his plans for the upcoming premium live event, only to be confronted by Punk.
The verbal exchange quickly escalated, culminating in Paul slapping Punk across the face before making a hasty exit from the ring. As the segment concluded, Punk delivered a pointed warning to The Maverick, stating, “On Saturday, you’re locked in a cage with CM Punk.”
This threat carries particular weight given Punk’s recent history of extreme tactics. At Bad Blood, Punk employed a toolbox as a weapon against Drew McIntyre in their match, using various implements to inflict significant damage on The Scottish Warrior.

The structure of the Elimination Chamber match itself provides an opportunity for similar tactics, as the contest has minimal restrictions regarding weapon usage and physical punishment. The enclosed cage environment ensures Paul will have no escape route available when facing Punk’s potential retaliation.
The six-man Elimination Chamber match carries high stakes, with the winner earning a championship opportunity against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Additional participants include John Cena, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins, making this a particularly challenging environment for Paul if Punk chooses to target him specifically.
The confrontation on RAW has added a personal dimension to what was already a significant match, with Paul’s physical provocation potentially setting himself up for severe consequences when locked inside the chamber structure with a vengeful CM Punk.
