Seth Rollins Calls CM Punk a Fraud and Says He’s the Real WWE Hero

Seth Rollins isn’t holding anything back ahead of WrestleMania 41—and he’s making it clear who he thinks is carrying the company.

During an appearance on the Not Just Football podcast, Rollins addressed his upcoming triple threat match with CM Punk and Roman Reigns. But instead of focusing on the match, Rollins launched into a scathing take on both men—and claimed he’s the one holding WWE together.

“I’m the good guy. I’m the hero of this story. I’m here trying to protect my company from these egomaniacs and outsiders. I’m not the bad guy here. Punk is the bad guy. Roman is the bad guy,” Rollins said.

He didn’t stop there. Rollins blasted CM Punk for disappearing from WWE for nearly a decade, and took aim at Roman Reigns for rarely showing up.

“One of these people doesn’t show up for ten years, comes back in, and thinks he’s going to run the place. The other guy stops showing up for four years, stays at home, and sits on his couch. I’ve been here hustling the whole time.”

Rollins then turned the conversation toward his influence on the careers of Roman and Cody Rhodes, arguing that without him, neither of them would be where they are today.

“There is no Roman Reigns without Seth Rollins. He doesn’t exist without me. There is no Cody Rhodes, as you know him, without Seth Rollins. That guy comes back and works with anybody else? It doesn’t happen. I’m the cause of that.”

And when it came to CM Punk? Rollins kept it short but sharp: “I don’t even want to get into this guy. He’s a fraud, he’s a joke, he’ll be exposed at WrestleMania.”

With WrestleMania 41 just days away, Rollins is entering the match with more than just confidence—he’s claiming to be the reason anyone cares about the other two men in the ring.
