A couple of clips, featuring a heated conversation between CM Punk and Seth Rollins from WWE SummerSlam 2024, have been doing the rounds on the internet. Punk made a return to the singles action over 10 years later to take on Drew McIntyre at the premium live event scheduled in Cleveland last week. Rollins was officiating the proceedings as the match’s guest referee. After some back-and-forth action, Punk had a brief altercation with Rollins. A clip of him screaming at the guest referee has now been shared on Instagram. “You’re about as good a referee as you are a wrestler. 1-2-3,” Punk said in the video.
The heated exchange followed after CM Punk landed the GTS on Drew McIntyre but Seth Rollins could not make the count as he was knocked out at ringside. Eventually, the referee made his way back but it was too late as McIntyre kicked out at a two-and-a-half count. A furious Punk then shouted at Rollins, “Are you messing with me? Huh? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me right now? I told you…I don’t care about that [referee shirt], I don’t care about your stupid Sabu pants.”
Rollins was not too happy with Punk’s words. A video of his reaction was shared on X (formerly Twitter) where Rollins angrily said, “You listen to me! I told you this is my ring, my ruling, my company. You understand me? We don’t need you here, we don’t want you here, not everything’s about you. Not everything is about you! I counted [inaudible], I saved you from a chair shot. That’s [McIntyre] your problem, focus on what you gotta do, right there, for the picking. You understand me?”
The match came to a close after McIntyre landed a low blow on CM Punk, followed by a Claymore Kick. Rollins hesitated to make the three count but finished the game. After the clash, the Scotsman took Punk’s bracelet and then kissed it while posing with a boot on Punk’s chest. As for Rollins, the Architect rushed backstage as soon as the match was over.
