'He Tore This Company Down': Seth Rollins Declares CM Punk His Biggest Rival, Reveals He 'Loves' Roman Reigns
When quizzed who he despised more between Punk and Reigns, Rollins revealed that he hates Punk. He went on to add that despite differences between himself and Reigns in recent years, he shared a bond with the Tribal Chief.
Seth Rollins recently spoke about his intense rivalry with CM Punk and Roman Reigns following their chaotic clash at WWE Royal Rumble. The three superstars were involved in a heated brawl during the closing moments of the men’s match. As Rollins and Reigns battled to eliminate each other, CM Punk seized the opportunity and took them both out. However, his victory was short-lived as Logan Paul ultimately defeated him.
After their elimination, tensions escalated when Rollins attacked Reigns at ringside, delivering two devastating stomps—one on the floor and another on the steel steps. The Tribal Chief appeared visibly injured and was escorted out by medical personnel. While WWE has not confirmed the extent of his injuries, they later announced that Reigns would be sidelined for “the foreseeable future."

In a recent interview on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, Rollins was asked who he despised more between Punk and Reigns. Without hesitation, he replied, “CM Punk, no question. I love Roman Reigns. Let’s get that clear, I love him."
“We came into the industry together. Roman and I broke into WWE together back in 2012. We came in as a trio. The other guy, Jon Moxley, is gone right now, but Roman and I have stuck around in WWE, and we’ve both risen from the very bottom of WWE to the very top of WWE," he added.
Rollins feels Reigns has changed a lot in recent times. “He’s living in his own space, he’s got this kind of narcissistic complex, this god complex going on, and I got ill will towards him because we haven’t seen eye to eye for some time. But there’s also, it’s rooted in love. The thin line between love and hate. I want the best for him," the 38-year-old explained further.
Rollins further called Punk a “selfish scumbag and “the king of narcissism" while wishing “the worst" for him. “He’s a guy who’s a gaslighter, he’s a narcissist, and he’s a person who has for years because he wasn’t in WWE for a while, he left and then he came back, he left, and when he was gone, he just tore this company down, WWE, took our business," he said.
While fans wait to see Reigns back on the main roster, Rollins is gearing up to face Finn Balor in the upcoming episode of WWE RAW. With a victory in the weekly show, Rollins may earn a spot in the Elimination Chamber match in Toronto.
