CM Punk Offers Honest Take on Seth Rollins’ Abilities
The return of CM Punk to WWE has reignited old rivalries and sparked fresh drama, particularly with Seth Rollins. During the premiere of “Monday Night Raw” on Netflix, Punk didn’t hold back in his candid assessment of Rollins’ persona, abilities, and overall character.
In a post-show interview, Punk highlighted the evolution of Seth Rollins, addressing the flamboyant costumes and over-the-top behavior that have come to define his current “Seth Freakin’ Rollins” persona.
“Let me be clear, I’m not here to question Seth Rollins’ abilities in the ring—he’s a killer. But the way he dresses and acts? That doesn’t scream killer to me,” Punk said. “When I see Rollins like that, I can’t take him as seriously as he wants me to. The version of Seth Rollins that stood face-to-face with me last week? That’s the Rollins I respect.”
Punk’s Philosophy on Elevating Opponents
Punk didn’t stop at critiquing Rollins’ presentation. He also shared insights into his own approach to storytelling and in-ring performances, asserting that he brings out the best in his opponents.
“When you’re in the ring or on the mic with me, I’ll make sure people see a version of you they’ve never seen before,” Punk stated. “Where was that Drew McIntyre before? Where was that Seth Rollins? That’s the magic I bring to every storyline. If you can’t rise to the occasion, you can step aside.”
Punk’s comments reflect his confidence and his belief that he elevates any rivalry he’s involved in. His presence on RAW has already added a new layer of intensity to the brand’s storytelling, with Rollins being the latest to experience Punk’s razor-sharp critique.
A Rivalry Reignited
The debut of RAW on Netflix was the perfect stage for Punk and Rollins to collide. Their match didn’t just showcase their in-ring chemistry but also underscored the tension between two of WWE’s biggest stars. With Punk pushing Rollins to shed the glitter and embrace his “killer” side, fans are eager to see how their rivalry unfolds.
As RAW continues to redefine itself, the Punk-Rollins feud promises to be a defining storyline, proving once again why both men are among the most compelling performers in WWE history.
