Seth Rollins elaborates on his comments about CM Punk.
Punk has been absent from AEW since the aftermath of AEW All Out 2022. At the pay-per-view, Punk defeated Moxley to win the AEW World Championship. At the post-show press conference, Punk made some heated comments about The Elite (Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks) and others, which led to a physical altercation. Punk was then suspended, and it's unclear when he will return.
Rollins generated some buzz ahead of WWE Royal Rumble when he called Punk a cancer and told him to stay away when he was asked about the former WWE Champion. Speaking on Covino & Rich, Rollins was asked whether he would welcome Punk back to WWE. He referenced his previous comments about Punk and compared him to Logan Paul by calling him selfish. Rollins then stated that Punk has given a lot to his career, and it pains him to have to say bad things about him, but the former world champion is in a different head space now.
“I don’t need to repeat what I said about Chicago Phil in an interview last week. But if you need to, I’m sure you can Google it. Look, the bottom line is, it’s the same as with Logan Paul. Punk and Logan Paul are two different personalities, but they’re as selfish as it comes. If you’re not gonna help, then I don’t want you to be a part of our industry. I don’t want you to be a part of our company, and that’s all there is to that. Here’s the thing, I’ll say one thing about Punk. I’ll end it on a positive note with him. That guy has given my career so much that it pains me to have to say bad things about him. He helped me out, he really did. He’s been a good guy to me for a lot of my career. But for whatever reason, for the past maybe six-seven years, he’s in a different head space, and we’re not on the same page. To see kind of what he’s done and taken and taken, it’s always been about him, I’m not a fan. I’m just not a fan. There’s a place for him, man. He’s got a lot to give. I just wish his head was in the right spot," Rollins said.
