Seth Rollins wants Drew McIntyre and CM Punk to suffer the same amount.
Seth Rollins has gotten involved in the feud between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, and he will be the special guest referee when the two bitter rivals finally clash at WWE SummerSlam. All three men have made it clear that they hate each other in the weeks leading up to the show.
During an appearance on SportsCenter, Rollins was asked whether he could be objective when there was so much animosity.
"I can because I hate them both equally. I want them both to suffer the exact same amount, so I’m gonna do my best to work that out. It’s gonna be up to them, who’s gonna pin, who’s gonna make who tap out. We’ll get to all that. I’m gonna make sure they beat the crap out of each other," Rollins said.
Rollins was then asked whether he anticipated getting involved in the match, as other special referees have, and he noted that he hoped he wouldn't. He stated that the goal was not to get involved. Rollins also expressed his excitement about being a special guest referee for the first time.
"I hope not. The goal is not to be. You gotta understand, the reason I’m in this position is because neither Drew nor Punk could contain themselves in the lead-up to this. There was too much going on. No referee wanted to be a part of it. The match wasn’t gonna get sanctioned until I stepped in and said, ‘Hey, I can throw on the ref shirt. I can give it a shot.' I’ve never done it. First time in my career. I’ve never at any level been a special guest referee, so I’m very excited to see what it’s gonna be like out there," Rollins said.
Punk recently stated that he never said he was a leader, and he's just trying to do his job. Check out his comments here.
