CM Punk vs. Seth Rollin on RAW’s Netflix Premier January 6, 2025
CM Punk asked the crowd to be careful as some people might get mad when they chant his name. CM Punk mocked Seth left right and center by calling him his failure. He made a joke about his dressing, walking, and laughing style.
CM Punk said idolizing him and putting on a pair of wrestling boots doesn’t make Seth, CM Punk. The best in the world doesn’t like Seth interrupting while he is addressing the crowd. Punk warned Kingslayer that there are not enough staples in the world to put him together when he is done with him.
Seth entered and the two superstars continued throwing verbal punches at each other. Seth claimed that he had more Wrestlemania Main Event appearances than Punk. This riled up Punk who jumped the barricade and the two started to brawl.

Audi’s busy adding to its roster of e-tron electric vehicles, and the latest to debut is the 2025 A6 e-tron, a sleek sedan with all of the brand’s cutting-edge technology. Audi expects EPA range to be as much as 390 miles per charge. The A6 e-tron is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor with 375 horsepower, while the A6 e-tron Quattro adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and bumps power to 456 ponies. If you want more, you’ll have to spring for the high-performance S6 e-tron, whose dual-motor powertrain produces a combined 543 hp. Unlike the gasoline-powered A6 sedan, the A6 e-tron hides a hatchback in its sloped rear roofline (making it a Sportback in Audi-ese), under which is a large cargo area similar to that of the current A7. Inside, there’s a full roster of infotainment features, plenty of standard amenities, and enough interior room for four adults to travel comfortably for long distances.
The A6 e-tron comes with a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, but the A6 e-tron Quattro comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup with 456 horsepower. The performance-oriented S6 e-tron boasts 543 horsepower, but we review that model separately. An air spring suspension system is optional and provides adaptive dampers with unique driving modes; it can also lower the A6 e-tron’s ride height for improved aerodynamic efficiency. When we drove the A6 e-tron, we found its driving dynamics to be ho-hum but appreciated its adjustable levels of regenerative braking capability.
According to Audi, the A6 e-tron can reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and the Quattro version can do it in 4.3. When we have the opportunity to test an A6 e-tron, we’ll update that number with real-world data.
A 94.4-kWh battery pack is expected to deliver an EPA range of 370 miles in the rear-wheel-drive A6 e-tron, with an available Ultra package stretching that to 390 miles. The all-wheel-drive version is estimated to bring an EPA range of 333 miles, or 375 with the Ultra package. (Although we’re still awaiting official EPA numbers.) DC fast-charging capability is standard, and Audi claims a max charging rate of 270 kilowatts. That means the A6 e-tron should be able to charge its battery from 10 percent to 80 percent of capacity in just 21 minutes.
