Seth Rollins calls CM Punk selfish
Seth Rollins and CM Punk have had their fair share of issues with each other. On an episode of Monday Night RAW, the two veterans confronted each other inside the WWE ring and teased a potential match at WrestleMania 40 for Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship.
Before their confrontation on WWE television, The 37-year-old talked about his real-life relationship with Punk on the SI Media Podcast. Rollins admitted to having received help from the former World Champion, but at the same time, he is not certain whether Punk did it for his own profit.
The former member of The Shield accused the recently returning superstar of being selfish and a person who wants to take more from the industry than give back to it:
"He helped me in places when he didn’t have to; whether that was for his own good or not, I’m not entirely sure, but regardless, it helped me get where I needed to go, and do the things I needed to do. And for a guy who, when I met him, kind of made it seem like he was all about giving back to the business, he really turned into a pretty selfish guy and really wanted to take more from the industry," Seth Rollins said.
