CM Punk’s AEW Firing Was ‘Heavily Discussed’ At WWE Payback, Seth Rollins News

As you’d expect, CM Punk’s firing from AEW was “heavily discussed” backstage at Saturday night’s WWE Payback pay-per-view event.

Speaking on the latest edition of the “After the Bell” podcast, Seth Rollins commented on which WWE Superstars he’d like to face following his match with Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback 2023. He said,

“I look at the ‘Raw’ roster and I just see tons of guys that I would love to get in the ring with. From Tommaso Ciampa to Chad Gable to ‘The Ring General’ [GUNTHER] — all of them. I’d love to get in there with Sami [Zayn] and Kevin [Owens], … Bronson Reed, … [and] Drew McIntyre, there’s tons of guys out there that I think would make absolute great challengers for the World Heavyweight Championship. So, I’m always wondering like, …’Who is going to raise their stock to the point where it makes sense to get them in the ring with myself?’ I’m looking at the main event in Philadelphia next year — that’s what I want … Whether that’s [against] Roman Reigns, … Cody Rhodes, … [or] Brock Lesnar … who knows? Anybody on the outside wants to come in [and] take a shot? Whatever is going to put me on the marquee, in the main spot at WrestleMania, my eyes are always there for that.“
