WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth 'Freakin' Rollins has made it clear who the best in the world is, and it isn't CM Punk.
Although many have been pleased to see Punk back in WWE, Seth Rollins is not among them. Rollins had an explosive reaction to Punk's return at Survivor Series, and has made it clear on WWE programming that he takes issue with Punk's comeback. This week, Rollins explained his beef with Punk, citing the many negative comments Punk made about Seth and WWE during his near-decade-long absence.
Seth Rollins Shuts Down CM Punk Chant
Despite Rollin's points about Punk, fans have gravitated to the Chicago-Made wrestler. At last night's WWE live event in Utica, New York, Rollins had some comments for the fans who were chanting Punk's name.
Excuse me, who's that? Who's that? Serious question, was that guy on the show here tonight? Yeah, no. Hey, maybe, one of these days he'll grow a set and he'll come up here to Utica, New York. And look, he's the best in the world, right? In all seriousness, *raises World Heavyweight Championship* I'm the friggin' best in the world. Because every single town, every single night, no matter the opponent, I show up and I show out!
