CM Punk recently debuted as a host on WWE Backstage, and the position presents an interesting dynamic, as Punk is affiliated with FOX, not WWE, so he seems to feel quite comfortable openly criticizing the company.
Seth Rollins has been doing his best to taunt Punk on social media in attempt to get him to return to the ring, and this week on WWE Backstage Punk told Rollins to delete Twitter from his phone.
The former Universal Champion addressed the CM Punk situation during an interview with WKQX in Chicago, and he threw down the challenge.
“We’re in his backyard, right? Literally, we could probably get to his house in like 10 minutes. I don’t know where he lives but we could probably get there pretty quickly. He knows where I’m going to be Sunday, and Monday, and maybe Saturday. Maybe Friday, who knows? He knows for sure where I’m going to be on Sunday and Monday. Maybe he’s hiding out in LA, waiting to sit behind his little desk. Or maybe he’s a little keyboard warrior too, who knows? I don’t know what he’s up to, but he bottom line is – wherever, whenever he wants to do the thing, if he wants to man up and do it, I’m there. For me, the only place the match happens is at WrestleMania, in the main event. That’s the only reason I’m picking a fight with him. I’ve got no other interest than that. If he’s interested, it’s out there. Any time you’re ready, let’s go.”
Rollins then continued to talk smack about CM Punk’s short-lived UFC career.
“The bottom line is – the funny thing is, for me, from a guy telling me I need to look for relevancy, here’s someone who has been in the doldrums for the past few years because he got his butt kicked in the Octagon, so bad that he didn’t want to show his face anywhere. Now he shows back up on a WWE TV show, called WWE Backstage. You can say it’s a FS1 show all you want, which it is, and you might be paid by FOX, but that show doesn’t exist without our company. The company you left 5 years ago. So, say whatever you want, play it however you want. That’s what Punk always does.”
Seth went on to say that he wants to make CM Punk some money, and that Punk, “couldn’t bust a cherry in a fruit fight, dude.”
