CM Punk was interviewed on The Jackie Redmond Show for the NHL’s YouTube channel. During the interview, he was asked hockey questions and he talked a little about WWE, including Seth Rollins. Rollins was vocal about not wanting CM Punk back in WWE and now their real-life tension is being worked into a storyline that seems to be headed towards a match at WrestleMania 40.
Punk said the following when asked why Rollins hates him:
“Because I have been everywhere he has been and he hasn’t been everywhere I’ve been. So, we’re probably too similar. That’s honestly the biggest thing that I can think of is we’re very similar. The difference is I can talk about my career and not have to mention him. He cannot talk about his career without mentioning me. I understand where he’s coming from. I understand. I think he’s always felt like he’s the little brother. I’ve never tried to treat him that way. I’ve always treated him like a peer but some people you just can’t reach.”
