During an appearance on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, WWE talent Seth Rollins addressed the prospect of joining forces with CM Punk if it meant bringing a Super Bowl title to his beloved Chicago Bears. The discussion revealed Rollins’ strong, emotional resistance to such a scenario, which he made clear while recounting his reasons on the show. The subject was especially significant for Rollins, given his passionate support for the Bears and his complicated history with fellow wrestler CM Punk.
Rollins Explains Why He Would Turn Down the Opportunity
Rollins was direct regarding his discomfort with the hypothetical partnership, using strong language to convey his point. He stated,
Would I do it? It makes my stomach turn just to think about it. For one Super Bowl? I don’t think I could do it. I don’t think I could stand next to him. I really don’t think I can do it. I don’t think I could do it. I would suffer in misery every season. Give me an NFC Title game. I don’t think I could do it. I would have to say no.
—Seth Rollins, WWE Star
These intense remarks highlight Rollins’ deep personal and professional disapproval of CM Punk. Despite the promise of a Super Bowl championship—something deeply meaningful to any Chicago Bears fan—his response showed that some lines are simply not meant to be crossed in his world.
The Emotional Weight Behind Rollins’ Decision
Digging deeper into his feelings, Rollins described the internal struggle that accompanied even the thought of such a decision. He said,
It hurts me inside too much. It’s selfish saying it, but it’s not even about me. I feel bad for the people. The players on the team. Me and CM Punk have to team. ‘Yay, CM Punk.’ No. I can’t do it. I couldn’t do it. I would vomit. It would go against every fiber of my being. I couldn’t do it.
—Seth Rollins, WWE Star
This candid admission illustrates just how seriously Rollins takes both his personal values and his relationship to the wrestling community. The idea of aligning with CM Punk, even temporarily for a common goal like a Bears victory, proved to be a non-starter for the superstar.
Family Factors Deepen Rollins’ Stance
Rollins also shared how the scenario would impact his family life, emphasizing how teaming with CM Punk would affect those closest to him. He explained,
I would have to go home and look my daughter in the face and tell her that I was a coward. I couldn’t do that to my daughter, my family. My wife would disown me. I don’t know if I would ever sleep in the bed again. I’d get kicked to the curb. If there is one person that hates CM Punk more than me it might be Becky Lynch. It’s a full family affair.
—Seth Rollins, WWE Star
By mentioning how his wife, WWE star Becky Lynch, might react even more strongly than himself, Rollins pointed out that the animosity toward CM Punk is not limited to just professional rivalry, but runs deeper within his personal relationships and household.
What Rollins’ Decision Means for Fans and the WWE Universe
Seth Rollins’ refusal to unite with CM Punk, even for a win as significant as a Chicago Bears Super Bowl victory, underscores lasting tensions in the world of professional wrestling. His words not only provide insight into his character’s convictions but also mirror the intensity of real-life dynamics between major WWE personalities. As the relationship between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and figures like Becky Lynch remains strained, fans can expect these rivalries to continue playing out in dramatic fashion both inside and outside the ring, with potential implications for future storylines and the broader wrestling world.
