Seth Rollins Vows to End CM Punk Rivalry Before WrestleMania 41
WWE star Seth Rollins discusses his upcoming steel cage match against CM Punk at Madison Square Garden, viewing it as the ideal conclusion to their heated rivalry.
Seth Rollins is determined to end his rivalry with CM Punk before either man reaches WrestleMania. The two wrestlers will face each other in a Steel Cage Match on the March 10 episode of WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden.
The match announcement came after Rollins and Punk engaged in multiple physical confrontations on the March 3 episode of Raw. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made the steel cage stipulation official following their backstage altercation.
Speaking on the Raw Recap podcast, Rollins expressed his feelings about the ongoing situation with Punk. He sees the upcoming cage match as an opportunity to prevent his rival from making it to WrestleMania.
The only good thing to happen tonight, aside from me getting to punch CM Punk in the face a lot, is that Adam Pearce finally made the right call, locked CM Punk and myself in a cage next week in The Garden, and I can finally make sure that this moron doesn’t even make it to WrestleMania. After I feel like he’s exhausted all of his opportunities, he’s got one favor, some ace up his sleeve, whatever it is, I’ve got no other choice. He’s left me no other choice but to hurt him and take him out. All I feel right now is just this urge to wrap my hands around somebody’s neck and hurt them. That’s where I’m at right now, and I’ve reached my breaking point with this guy.
Later in the interview, Rollins highlighted the significance of their rematch taking place at the iconic Madison Square Garden venue. He emphasized how fitting the location is for what he believes will be the conclusion of their bitter feud.
I don’t want to bring this negative energy. Let’s focus on the positive to end this thing. Next week, in The Garden, it’s Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins against CM Punk inside of a steel cage live on Netflix in front of the world, in the world’s most famous arena. You literally cannot write a better ending to this story. I’m so excited that Adam Pearce finally decided to do the right thing, and when I get my hands on him, it will be a sight to behold.
This upcoming match represents a chance for Rollins to avenge his previous loss to Punk. Their first encounter took place on January 6 during the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, where Punk emerged victorious.
