In a recent appearance on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins weighed in on CM Punk’s return to WWE and how the Second City Saint needs to rebuild the bridges he burned down in the company.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On CM Punk thinking he’d figure into the WrestleMania plans: I think CM Punk thought CM Punk was going to be in those plans once upon a time. As you may have seen during our brief interaction, I never thought that was going to happen. I’ll give him a little bit of credit, he gave it the old college try. But, fragile body, fell apart. We will see if he can stitch himself back together and make another go at it.”
On CM Punk needing to rebuild bridges: “He’s got a lot of bridges to rebuild, and clearly he is aware of that, and clearly he is making an effort to rebuild those bridges. Now, whether he will burn them all to the ground again, who knows? But he’s on his own track.”
Punk is currently on the injury shelf after suffering a torn triceps last month at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. The injury is expected to keep him out for most of this year.
