In an industry stuffed with necessarily large egos, it’s inevitable that wrestlers who do not get along are forced to work together every now and then. In accordance with WWE star Seth Rollins, who’s currently feuding with CM Punk, getting within the ring with someone you don’t love can actually be therapeutic, as discussed in an interview on radio station WFAN.
“You get to get that violence out. You get to get that anger, that frustration, out,” Rollins said. “You are on the market, it’s just you and him. If the fists fly, they fly.”
Speaking about Punk specifically, Rollins indicated (as he has over and over before) that he doesn’t just like the man personally. Nonetheless, that will not stop him from joining Punk within the ring or, as was the case this past Monday, inside a steel cage.
“We’re within the conflict industry, right? And I actually have a conflict with him,” Rollins stated. “I don’t love him. I have never liked him for a very long time. We have now lots of history. It is far easier to speak badly about someone that you just truthfully don’t love.”
Rollins ended up winning Monday’s “WWE Raw” cage match, but not in the standard sense. The bout concluded with interference from Roman Reigns, who forcibly pulled Rollins from the cage, leading to his victory. Reigns proceeded to beat down Rollins and Punk in turn, strongly hinting at a Triple Threat match between the three at WWE WrestleMania 41 next month, barring any unexpected twists or turns within the storyline.
