Seth Rollins, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, has played a crucial role in shaping WWE over the last decade. Whether as a heel, face, part of a faction, or a solo star, the Visionary has consistently delivered impressive performances. In a recent development, the former champion commended Seth Rollins and shared some critical thoughts about CM Punk.

CM Punk’s unexpected return at WWE Survivor Series 2023 surprised fans, and Seth Rollins’ reaction to Punk’s comeback became viral on social media. Last week, Punk and Seth faced each other on Raw, and Punk announced his entry into the Royal Rumble 2024 match.

Numerous reports hint at a potential headline match between Punk and Rollins on Night 1 of WrestleMania 40. However, former US Champion Ryback, discussing Seth and Punk on his YouTube channel with fans, praised The Architect as the best in the world while expressing some criticisms of Punk. Ryback shared his perspective, stating:

“I personally have a lot of respect for Seth because of his consistent performances. His in-ring style is refined and distinctive. He can work seamlessly with anyone in the ring. Seth’s in-ring presence is one of the standout aspects of this industry. Moreover, being the current World Heavyweight Champion and able to wrestle anywhere at any time is a significant accomplishment. He hasn’t made the same mistakes in this industry as Punk has.”

Ryback, a former World Champion himself, has a history of facing CM Punk several times in WWE. Both were part of a lengthy storyline, with their last encounter taking place at Hell in a Cell 2013, where Punk emerged victorious against Ryback and his partner Paul Heyman. Ryback, like others in the industry, has openly shared his perspective on Punk without holding back.
