Since Punk's return, Rollins has been vocal in his criticism, launching a series of insults and public disparagements against him.

The Rivalry Intensifies

Seth Rollins' Strong Words on CM Punk

In a recent interview on the 'Up & Adams Show', Rollins expressed his disdain for Punk, stating, 'CM Punk is not good for our business. He’s a bad guy. I beat him at WrestleMania 41, and I don’t want him anywhere near the Money in the Bank contract.'

“I’ve worked with Punk for a long time, and I don’t even want him in my ‘wind space’. I want him out of WWE,” Rollins added, emphasizing his lack of respect for Punk.

CM Punk Faces Another Challenge on WWE Raw

In the latest episode of WWE Raw, CM Punk encountered yet another setback, courtesy of Rollins and his associates. During a Money in the Bank qualifying match featuring AJ Styles, CM Punk, and El Grande Americano, Punk was on the verge of winning when he was ambushed by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.

As a result, Americano claimed victory. Following the match, Rollins joined Breakker and Reed in a brutal attack on Punk, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso. Rollins executed a series of Stomps, while Reed delivered two powerful Tsunami moves to Jey Uso.

Once again, CM Punk found himself in a precarious situation, with Seth Rollins at the center of the chaos. The pressing question now is: how will Punk retaliate?
