Recent reports suggested CM Punk and Seth Rollins had become close friends, but Fightful Select has clarified that this claim is inaccurate. According to the outlet, the two maintain only a professional working relationship within WWE.
The rumor spread after one publication described the pair as “friends,” a label that some fans quickly echoed as fact. Fightful, however, states there is no evidence of a personal bond between them.
Interest in the story stems from their history of public tension. Rollins has criticized Punk in past interviews—at one point calling him “a cancer to the business”—which fueled the perception of real-life animosity.
Since Punk’s return to WWE in 2023, the two have cooperated backstage and in professional settings. Sources stress that while their collaboration is genuine, suggestions of personal closeness remain unverified.
In short, the confirmed story is straightforward: Punk and Rollins are working colleagues, not friends. The idea of a newfound bond rests solely on a single speculative report.
