Seth Rollins Desperate For CM Punk Fight Outside WWE
Seth Rollins is willing to take his feud with CM Punk outside the WWE ring but he’s ruled out barging into the “non-UFC fighter’s” locker room.
Seth Rollins has mastered the art of meaning what he says as he continues his war of words with CM Punk ahead of them clashing as part of a huge triple threat main event at WrestleMania 41. Seth Rollins has explained just why he hates Punk so much compared to his professional distaste for the other man in that match, Roman Reigns.
Such is Rollins’ ire for Punk that he’d be quite willing to cross the TKO divide and face his foe in the UFC Octagon. CM Punk infamously has competed in UFC twice to absolutely no success, so much so that Rollins doesn’t even consider the star a UFC fighter at all.
Seth Rollins Wants UFC Fight With CM Punk
Speaking on Outta Pocket, Seth Rollins urged Dana White to make the fight in UFC between two “non-UFC fighters” but he also stopped short of threatening to barge into Punk’s locker room for a fight – a less than subtle shot at AEW’s Young Bucks:
In a MMA fight? Sure, yeah, I would. I’m not going to bust into his locker room backstage and start lighting him up, but if Dana White wanted to book CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in a first non-UFC fighter vs. non-UFC fighter fight on one of his cards, I’d put on the gloves and give it a go.
It might be the only one I’d do, but if you put me in there with any of the other guys in my weight class, no, I’m out. Dana, if you want to make some money, book it, brother. Give us a few months. Give me a training camp. I feel like I could handle myself. TKO, we’re all under one umbrella now.
