Seth Rollins’ issues with CM Punk are completely genuine, according to WWE/Impact Wrestling Hall of Famer Bully Ray.
Punk made his return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023. Rollins, who had competed in the Men’s WarGames match, had a very negative response to his return.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray spoke about Rollins’ reaction to Punk’s return. He said,
“It’s 1000% real. There’s a real animosity there. Seth doesn’t like, or disrespects, [Punk]. Whatever word you want to plug in there, you heard the Seth interview from six months ago, he’s not a CM Punk fan.
“There are plenty of people out there who aren’t CM Punk fans. You know what though? There are plenty of guys in the wrestling business who did not like each other. From 20 years ago, 30 years ago, 40 years, 50 years ago, and it’ll still keep going on 100 years from now if there’s money to be made. I always go back to the same examples because they are the best examples. Jeff Jarrett [and] Kurt Angle did not like each other. Matt Hardy [and] Edge did not like each other, [they] still did business.”
The interview Bully Ray is referring to actually came in January of this year, in which Rollins echoed comments made by Chris Jericho and called Punk a “cancer.”
Both Punk and Rollins were on this week’s RAW though they did not have a face-to-face interaction during the broadcast.
