Nothing is certain but death, taxes and Seth Rollins‘ hate for CM Punk.
Rollins has been such a thorn in Punk’s side—he flew thousands of miles just to cost the Straight Edge Superstar his Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity against John Cena at Night of Champions.
The heated rivalry seems to have been put on hold after Seth Rollins suffered a knee injury in his match against LA Knight at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Rollins provided an update on his knee injury during a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. Rollins’ knee injury has been a hot topic this week, especially now that the validity of that injury has come into question.
Elsewhere in the interview, a caller asked Rollins for his thoughts on CM Punk versus Gunther at WWE SummerSlam as well as his plans for the World Heavyweight Championship after he comes back from injury.
“Great questions, Rollins said. “I think CM Punk, you know, he won the [gauntlet] match fair and square on [RAW] Monday. So, he’s entitled to a championship match versus Gunther at SummerSlam—so good for him. I fully expect Gunther to turn his chest into ground beef, and I’m very excited to watch that from the confines of my living room.
“To be fair, I might be there. My wife is wrestling Lyra Valkyria for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. So we’ll see, depending on how (rehab) goes, if traveling is easy enough, I might make my way out to… We’re at MetLife. We’re outside New York, for two nights… SummerSlam in August. So we’ll see.”
Seth Rollins on what he thinks about CM Punk
“You know, I mean, my feelings on CM Punk are not hard to find. I don’t like the guy, never liked the guy, haven’t liked the guy, probably never going to like the guy. You know what? I often wonder if is there any world where CM Punk and I could be friends? Is there any world where I could not hate this dude? And so far the answer is no.”
“And I’m not a guy that likes to hold grudges. I find that grudges, they take a lot of energy, (it) takes a lot to hold grudges. You know what I mean? It takes time, it takes effort, and I don’t like that. I like to put my effort into good things, positive things… people I like, I love, not people I hate. I think he’s the one that I mean, there’s some other guys who I’ve had bad experiences with, but you know, water’s under the bridge… not with him, not with old Phil Brooks.”
