Punk winning could have been a set up for The Vision's shake-up.#2. The Shield 2.0This betrayal would lead to a new alignment between Punk and Rollins. In off-air footage, The Best in the World was seen running in with a steel chair to the ring to save his bitter enemy against The Vision. The Visionary could re-form the "Shield," this time with Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and go into an all-out war against The Vision on WWE RAW. This would put The Second City Saint, being a No. 1 Contender, directly in the storyline.#1.
