“There are still some people with sour feelings to this day, but the large portion of talent just work with him amicably and know he’s going to be a big part of the company. There’s just not a lot to really go off of here. Maybe some eye rolls—nothing too bad,” he said. (H/T: Ringside News)

Sami Zayn pulled off a massive upset by defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a Triple Threat match at Night of Champions 2026. He countered a Cross Rhodes into a roll-up to capture the title. However, Zayn only held the Undisputed WWE Championship for nine days before losing it to Punk.

Major WWE star doesn’t think he can salvage his friendship with CM Punk

WWE RAW star Seth Rollins recently opened up about his issues with CM Punk. The Visionary will be challenging Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship next month.

Speaking on Prince St. Pizza’s YouTube channel, Rollins discussed his relationship with the 47-year-old and suggested that their relationship would be tough to repair.

“Well, there’s this guy. His name is CM Punk, a real a**hole this guy… I don’t like him. A lot of people love him. He and I don’t get along. We don’t see eye to eye. It has a long history there. I’m not a grudge holder, really. I wouldn’t consider myself. He’s an exception to the rule. [Is he a phony?] I would say so. He’s an interesting cat because if you love him, a lot of CM Punk fans out there, you believe and hang on every single word he says. But if you know the guy like I do, I see through all of it. He would probably say the same thing about me… I mean, there’s certainly some bad blood there. I think it would be a tough relationship to repair. I don’t know,” Rollins said.

Punk will be defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
