Seth Rollins: “I Do Not Trust” CM Punk Despite Working Relationship

The animosity between Seth Rollins and CM Punk is well-documented, but is it strictly business? Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Rollins peeled back the curtain on his relationship with the controversial star, describing it as “complex.” While he acknowledged that a working relationship exists to facilitate their matches, he made it clear that personal wounds have not healed. “It’s just so hard for me to separate the CM Punk that there is now from the CM Punk that was a really rotten friend to me ten years ago,” Rollins stated.

Rollins reiterated sentiments he expressed previously at WWE World, emphasizing that while he will do business, he does not trust Punk’s intentions. “I do not like CM Punk. I do not respect CM Punk… I don’t trust that he’s back with all these good intentions and that it’s going to last,” Rollins said. He contrasted Punk’s self-serving nature with his own willingness to put the industry first, citing his role in helping Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 while injured as proof of his dedication.

This real-life tension adds significant weight to the current WrestleMania 42 landscape. Punk is scheduled to face Roman Reigns in the main event, while Rollins is currently recovering from surgery with hopes of returning for the show. If Rollins is cleared, his disdain for Punk could easily be woven into the title picture, potentially setting up a combustible scenario in Las Vegas.
