Top WWE Star ‘Felt Disrespected’ Not Knowing About CM Punk’s Return

WWE

Seth Rollins “felt disrespected” when CM Punk returned to WWE in a surprise move at Survivor Series in 2024.

Punk’s return at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 25, 2024 saw a response from Rollins who later described it as a “real and raw emotion“.

During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Becky Lynch revealed her husband’s feelings about the return, saying:

“I was in Gorilla. There was a fist pound. Then my husband was going crazy by the ring. Then the producers on the headset are going, ‘Seth is freaking out.’ I’m like, ‘Oh no, this going to be a rough night.”

Punk’s return happened after the main event at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames and can be seen below this news story.

The main event saw Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn & Randy Orton defeat The Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh) and Drew McIntyre in the men’s WarGames match.

Reflecting on whether it was disrespectful to keep others out of the secret return, Lynch went on to say:

“No. I believe the deal happened very late. As far as I know, I believe the deal happened very late and sometimes the tiredness hits.”

It wasn’t a viewpoint shared by Rollins, however, with Lynch going on to reveal:

“The deal happened late and then (Rollins) had a match. He was working on his match all day. He felt disrespected.

“We think of ourselves. We are the universe. Everybody. Nobody is going, ‘I want to disrespect you.’ We may feel disrespected, but nobody is intentionally going, ‘Let me disrespect this person.’

“Consideration should be taken into account. You should have told your top stars, of course, but nobody is going out there going, ‘How do I disrespect my top stars? My World Champion. How do I disrespect him?’ Nobody is thinking that.”

As for the relationship between Rollins and Punk now, it was recently reported that they are “getting along backstage.”

Although currently injured, Punk has recently revealed that he will be involved at WrestleMania 40 on April 6 & 7, 2024.
