Seth “Freakin” Rollins, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, recently appeared as a guest on the SI Media Podcast. Rollins didn’t mince words when asked what his problems are with CM Punk.
Seth Rollins doesn’t mince words when discussing CM Punk’s WWE return. His take? Unapologetically candid. “…he’s been extremely self-serving, has played the martyr role to a tee,” Rollins asserts, highlighting his grievances.
Acknowledging the positive influence Punk had on his journey, Rollins acknowledges, “He helped me in places when he didn’t have to…” Yet, there’s a shift in sentiment, expressing feeling insulted by Punk’s disparaging comments and alleged self-centeredness.
Punk’s critique strikes a chord as Rollins delves into the personal side: “…called me like a bootlicker and crap like that. And like, you don’t know me.” It’s a clash between loyalty and perceived betrayal, adding fuel to the animosity.
Rollins paints a picture of loyalty to WWE, defending the hard work of colleagues and the industry itself. His frustration stems from what he sees as Punk’s supposed selfishness, disparaging the very fabric of WWE and its dedicated personnel.
This isn’t mere dislike but an entrenched animosity. Rollins doesn’t label it hatred, but there’s an undeniable tension, a deep-rooted discord arising from what he perceives as Punk’s transformation into someone contradictory to his earlier image.
Rollins’ words echo a complex mix of gratitude, disappointment, and personal offense. His anticipation of facing Punk in the ring underlines a collision not just of bodies, but of conflicting ideologies. The narrative unfolds, promising an emotionally charged showdown in the WWE arena.
