Seth Rollins Takes Multiple Shots at CM Punk During Countdown to WWE Summerslam

Seth Rollins appeared on the Countdown to WWE Summerslam special, where he took several shots at CM Punk ahead of the PLE. Rollins will be the guest referee in Punk’s match with Drew McIntyre tonight. Here are highlights, via Fightful:

On CM Punk: “This was a guy I looked up to. I always thought that he had the best interests of the industry right here in his heart, I really did. Because that’s the image that he wants people to see, that’s what he wants people to believe about him. But it’s just not true. When push comes to shove, all he cares about is himself. That’s all he cares about. The rest is a facade. He’s a liar, he’s a crook, he’s a scam artist, and somehow, he’s made people believe that he’s this great messiah, when in fact he literally only cares about CM Punk and how to line his own pockets. It’s hard for me to even look him in the eye. I try to avoid him at all costs. Like I said, stay away from me, and here he is, in my space one more time.”

On Drew McIntyre making things worse with Punk: “I understand why Drew doesn’t like him, I get it, but the more attention you give to this guy, that’s what he wants. Thats what he wants. You’re feeding the beast. You have to ignore people like this so they just go away. But he doesn’t. He continues to feed the beast, and now he’s in a position where [laughs] you didn’t want him to be here, and now you’ve propped him up. SummerSlam, one of the biggest events on our calendar. You’ve propped him up and put him in this position. That’s on you. So I don’t like Drew, I don’t agree with his approach to a lot of things. But at least I can sort of understand it. I can put myself in those shoes. I’ve been in where Drew’s been mentally, I understand what it’s like to feel slighted and to feel like you need to grind and sometimes do some things you don’t want to do to get where you need to be. I understand that, so I can sort of put myself in Drew’s shoes. Punk, I can’t get any of what he’s doing. So Drew has put himself in a tough spot.”
