With Money in the Bank 2025 almost here, speculation has risen about CM Punk‘s potential interference at Money in the Bank 2025 after he failed to qualify for the ladder match. Seth Rollins, a frequent adversary of Punk, has publicly declared that Punk does not deserve to compete at such a significant WWE event.
During a recent episode of RAW, CM Punk tried to earn a spot in the MITB Ladder Match, facing AJ Styles and El Grande Americano in a triple-threat qualifier. However, Rollins’ stablemates, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, intervened, eliminating Punk from contention. Their involvement allowed Americano to seize the moment and defeat Styles, ending Punk’s hopes for participation in one of WWE’s marquee contests.
Seth Rollins Explains His Motives
Seth Rollins later addressed this incident during an interview on the Up & Adams Show. Rollins expressed strong reservations about Punk’s involvement in high-stakes matches, directly questioning Punk’s character and value to WWE.
“We made sure that Punk wasn’t in the Ladder match. Punk is not good for what we do. He’s a bad dude. I have put it out there many times, he’s not a good dude. Yes, we made sure Punk wasn’t in this Money in the Bank Ladder match,” said Seth Rollins. (19:54 – 20:04)
Rollins, a former Universal Champion, further emphasized his desire to keep Punk away from major WWE events, asserting that Punk should be excluded from matches of this caliber. Echoing his reasons, Rollins made his intentions toward Punk explicitly clear.
“I have dealt with CM Punk for far too long. This guy shouldn’t even be in my windspace. I want him gone. I want him out of here. He doesn’t deserve a spot in a high-profile match like this,” added Rollins. (20:36 – 20:47)
Possibility of CM Punk Disrupting the Event
Despite being sidelined from the official ladder match, rumors persist about CM Punk’s potential interference at Money in the Bank 2025. Rollins has secured his place in the contest and is expected to have assistance from Reed and Breakker, but the match’s no disqualification format leaves room for uncertain developments. Punk’s history with Rollins and his ongoing animosity creates the possibility of a disruptive surprise.
Other notable competitors on the RAW roster, such as Sami Zayn and Jey Uso, may add more uncertainty to the contest’s outcome. The lack of disqualifications suggests a tumultuous environment, heightening speculation that external parties like Punk might play a decisive role in the final result.
What Lies Ahead for Rollins, Punk, and the Event
Seth Rollins’ statements highlight a volatile rivalry that continues to shape the narrative heading into Money in the Bank 2025. CM Punk’s potential interference at Money in the Bank 2025 could dramatically alter the contest’s direction, fueling ongoing tensions among top WWE talents like AJ Styles, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso. With no disqualification rules in play and personal grudges lingering, fans and competitors alike are bracing for unpredictable twists when the ladder match unfolds.
