CM Punk and Seth Rollins wasted no time throwing hands on the March 3rd episode of WWE Raw as Punk met Rollins at the top of the entrance in the opening segment.
The two men brawled around ringside and then into the crowd with multiple officials and security guards unable to contain them.
Independent wrestler Wes Barkley was one of the extras utilized as security, and he was unable to contain the hatred between the two men.
"They hate each other. For real, they hate each other. I was kind of trying to feel it out the last couple of weeks and see what's going on because it's WrestleMania season and things are heating up. I never saw them in the same room or the same place. Buffalo was freezing out. It's 6:30 or 7:30 and it's starting to get cold. 'Why is it freezing?' 'They are leaving this door open for when Punk gets here.' Punk pulled up and they sent us. 'Follow him.' Just chaos. They said, 'Try to get them if you can.' All of a sudden, I see Seth running from the side, now we're in the crowd, I'm taking it all in. I'm still a little sore from it. I caught a couple elbows, thought I had a black eye for a day. It was chaos," Barkley recalled to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds.
When it was mentioned that security didn't do a great job containing the two men, Barkley replied, "I don't really do a lot of the security. I'm not a security for hire in that sense. I did a little door guy shift, sometimes, but it wasn't my thing. My thing is in the ring. I'll take it as where I'm supposed to be. We did have the numbers. I don't know how that happened. You have to give it up for Punk and Seth. [Hatred goes a long way]. For real. We'll put it on the producers as well. Get Hurricane in there, he wasn't doing shit. I was staying close to [Jason Jordan], I thought we were going to do a little tag team action. That's not how it worked out. It was electric though."
Punk and Rollins will meet in a cage match on Monday's WWE Raw.
