Seth Rollins on CM Punk: ‘It Pains Me to Have to Say Bad Things About Him’

It’s clear where Seth Rollins stands on CM Punk after his latest comments.

As previously stated, Rollins stated in a Royal Rumble weekend interview that he is not a fan of Punk and does not want to see him in WWE. He also referred to Punk as a cancer.

Although Punk is still under contract with AEW, he has been placed on ice by AEW President Tony Khan while he recovers from surgery for an injury sustained at All Out before engaging in a brawl with The Elite following the show.

Rollins was asked about Punk again while appearing on Covino & Rich. Punk, he noted, is a selfish individual, and they haven’t been on the same page in several years.

He said, “Well, I don’t need to repeat what I said about Chicago Phil in an interview last week. If you need to, I’m sure you can Google it. Look, the bottom line is that it’s the same thing as Logan Paul. Punk and Paul are two different personalities, but they’re both as selfish as it comes. If you’re not going to help, I don’t want you to be part of our industry. I don’t want you to be part of our company, and that’s all that there is to that. Here’s the thing, I will say one thing about Punk, I’ll end it on a positive note with him. That guy has given my career so much that it pains me to have to say bad things about him because he helped me out. He really did. He’s been a good guy to me for a lot of my career, but for whatever reason, the past maybe six, seven years, he’s in a different headspace and we’re not on the same page. To see what he’s kind of done, taken and taken, it’s always been about him. I’m not a fan.”

One of the hosts stated that people, unfortunately, change. Rollins responded, “It does, unfortunately. There’s a place for him, man. He’s got a lot to give. I just wish his head was in the right spot.”
