Seth Rollins delivered his final message before the WrestleMania 41 main event against CM Punk and Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown.

Rollins welcomed everyone to the show, sat cross-legged in the ring, and removed the WWE logo from the microphone as the fans chanted for "CM Punk."

Rollins noted that Punk came back to wrestling because fans were chanting his name. "He didn't come back to a WWE ring. Did he come back because you were chanting his name or because somebody wrote him a big fat check?" Rollins said Punk burned that bridge and then he finally came back to a WWE ring because they wrote him a big fat check. "Tell me when I'm telling lies."

Rollins said that Punk pretends he came back for the fans, but he doesn't care about the fans or WWE. "He's a liar, he's a fraud, he's a coward." Rollins said that Reigns doesn't pretend to care about the fans or WWE, he only cares about himself. "Roman Reigns is Mr. Private Jet, Mr. Limited Schedule, Mr. Handpicked Opponents." Rollins said Reigns and Punk know nothing about sacrifice, but he knows everything about sacrifice. Rollins said the story between the three men started 12 years ago and it started with Paul Heyman, who brought him, Reigns, and Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley in AEW) to be a Shield for CM Punk.

Rollins said he sacrificed, but everybody in the back wanted the camera and the spotlight on Reigns because he was going to be the next John Cena. Rollins said he sacrificed the entire time and it all came to a head at WrestleMania 40 when his knee was hanging on and his step-father was dying of cancer, he made sure he was there to be a shield to ensure Reigns lost. Rollins said the story started 12 years ago and it ends at WrestleMania 41. "I will sacrifice everything I have to make sure this business moves forward in the right direction. That's not a prediction. That's a spoiler."
