Seth Rollins Says He’d Fight CM Punk in MMA

CM Punk and Seth Rollins have a lot of bad blood between them, and it’s clear they will never be done with each other. They have faced each other numerous times in WWE, but now it seems that Rollins is willing to square off against CM Punk in an MMA bout.

While speaking on Outta Pocket RGIII, Seth Rollins was asked if he would actually fight CM Punk in an MMA bout. He responded that he would, saying he’s not about to storm Punk’s locker room and start throwing punches, but if Dana White wanted to book a fight between the two of them, then Rollins would be open to it.

Rollins said he would put on the gloves and give it a go, even if it ended up being the only MMA fight he ever did. He made it clear that he wouldn’t be interested in fighting anyone else in his weight class, but for Punk, he’d make the exception. He even said that if Dana White wanted to make some money, he should book the fight.

“For real? Uh, sure, yeah. I would. Look, I’m not gonna just bust into his locker room backstage and start, you know, lighting him up. But like, if Dana White wanted to book CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins, you know, the first non-UFC fighter vs. non-UFC fighter fight on one of his cards?

I’d put on the gloves and give it a go. It might be the only one I do, but yeah—I would. You put me in there with like any of the other guys in my weight class? I’m out. But yeah, I mean, Dana—you want to make some money? Book it, brother. That would be fun.”

Rollins added that with a few months of preparation and a proper training camp, he feels like he could hold his own. With both WWE and UFC under the TKO umbrella now, Rollins pointed out that something like this could actually happen.

“Give us a few months, you know, give me like a training camp. But I feel like I could—I feel like I could handle myself. Hey, TKO, man—we’re all under one umbrella now. Could be the first.”

A potential MMA fight between CM Punk and Seth Rollins could be the crossover spectacle that fans didn’t know they needed. While it remains to be seen if that fight will ever happen, in the meantime, CM Punk is set to face off against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41. Fans will have to wait and see who comes out on top in that match first.
