Seth Rollins On Survivor Series: I Was Unprofessional, But I Don’t Like CM Punk And Probably Never Will

Seth Rollins does not like CM Punk.

He made this clear during the WWE World panel, in the build up to WrestleMania 40.

Rollins was originally planned to face CM Punk in a huge match. It was set to be the main event of night one, before an injury suffered in the Royal Rumble stopped any chances of that match going ahead.

Despite the match being cancelled, Seth Rollins has not kept quiet about his feelings for Punk.

In the interview with Cathy Kelley at the WWE World panel, Cathy Kelley asked Rollins about what he felt when Punk returned at Survivor Series. He stated that he was not happy, and he acted unprofessionally with his conduct on the night.

“Oh man. I can’t say that out loud. If you need to know, you can hop back on [and watch the video]. I don’t think I’ve ever been more unprofessional in my entire life than when CM Punk came back at Survivor Series. I was not feeling good. And it’s the same thing with The Rock. It was the same thing with Cody Rhodes. I love WWE, right. Do you guys love WWE? That’s why we’re all here. You love professional wrestling, you love WWE, you love WrestleMania. And to me, we’re all family, Cathy. I’m talking about everybody in the back, everybody that I’ve shared a ring with. Everybody in production, creative, all the way from Triple H to every single person out here. We’re all family.”

Seth Rollins Wanted To Protect His ‘Family’ From CM Punk

Seth Rollins continued. The World Heavyweight Champion said he viewed Punk as an intruder trying to tear his house down. This is why he was not receptive to Punk’s return.

“We’re all in this together. And hen you have family. You protect your family. You protect your family from outsiders, who have only self interest in mind. I know for some of you guys, CM Punk is like ‘that dude’ for you. He’s your hero. He’s your martyr. But CM Punk left this place a decade ago, and every single day he was gone, he tried to actively tear apart WWE. And for me, that was like taking shots at my family.”

“And I protect my family. I stand up for my people. So when I see CM Punk out there actively taking shots to try to tear me down, to tear my house down, tear my family apart. I got no time for that. And what you saw at Survivor Series, in real time, was me experiencing a traitor coming into my house and trying to tear it apart, and how I felt about that. It was as raw and as real as I’ve ever been. Probably as unprofessional as I have ever been as well, but it is what it is. I don’t like CM Punk and I never will.”

CM Punk will be on commentary at WrestleMania 40 Night 2, for Seth Rollins match against Drew McIntyre.
