CM Punk has been a polarizing figure in the professional wrestling business for years now, but he’s only become more controversial following the comments he made after the AEW All Out pay-per-view in 2022. Recently Seth Rollins was asked to share his thoughts on CM Punk possibly returning to WWE and he told Punk to stay away while calling him a “cancer.”
During an appearance on Covino & Rich, Seth Rollins elaborated on his comments and said that it pains him to say bad things about CM Punk, but he doesn’t think Punk’s head is in the right spot.
“I don’t need to repeat what I said about Chicago Phil in an interview last week. But if you need to, I’m sure you can Google it. Look, the bottom line is, it’s the same as with Logan Paul. Punk and Logan Paul are two different personalities, but they’re as selfish as it comes. If you’re not gonna help, then I don’t want you to be a part of our industry. I don’t want you to be a part of our company, and that’s all there is to that. Here’s the thing, I’ll 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. 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, for the past maybe six-seven years, he’s in a different head space, and we’re not on the same page. To see kind of what he’s done and taken and taken, it’s always been about him, I’m not a fan. I’m just not a fan. There’s a place for him, man. He’s got a lot to give. I just wish his head was in the right spot.”
CM Punk last wrestled during the main event at All Out back in September when he defeated Jon Moxley to become the AEW World Champion. During the match Punk suffered an injury which he’s been recovering from. Punk’s wrestling future remains unknown at this point in time. Stay tuned for updates.
