WWE Raw video highlights: The Rock, CM Punk appear

Less than two weeks away from WrestleMania, CM Punk and The Rock both made appearances on a standout episode of WWE Raw.

Punk returned to WWE television in his hometown of Chicago last night. It was revealed that, even though Punk is out of action with a torn triceps, he'll still be playing a role at WrestleMania. Punk will be joining the commentary team for Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre's World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 40 night two.

Punk, McIntyre, and Rollins all traded insults during their segment on last night's Raw. The Chicago crowd chanted that they wanted Punk to be the special guest referee for Rollins vs. McIntyre at WrestleMania, but Punk admitted that he couldn't be "objectively fair with these two dipsh*ts."

The segment even included a veiled reference to Vince McMahon. McIntyre said everyone is starting to realize that Drew McIntyre has always been the chosen one. Punk responded by sarcastically asking what "paragon of good virtue" chose McIntyre to be that:

Chosen one? Who chose you? Who? What was his name? You got the balls to say you're the chosen one, tell me what paragon of good virtue chose you?

At the end of the segment, Rollins laid McIntyre out with a stomp while McIntyre was focused on mocking Punk.

But McIntyre got revenge later in the night when he dropped Rollins with a Future Shock DDT. The main event of the show was Jey Uso defeating Shinsuke Nakamura. Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa tried to interfere in the match but were cut off by Cody Rhodes and Rollins. McIntyre took advantage of the opportunity and attacked Rollins.

As Rhodes and Jimmy Uso were fighting in the backstage area, The Rock launched a blindside attack on Rhodes. He beat down Rhodes and left him bloody to close the episode. The Rock continued to taunt Rhodes' mother, revealing a custom "Mama Rhodes" weight belt that he had made. Just as he's promised to do at WrestleMania, The Rock smeared Rhodes' blood on the weight belt.

The Rock wasn't advertised to appear on Raw last night. He made a surprise appearance by interrupting Rhodes at the start of the show.
