Seth Rollins Open to UFC Fight Against CM Punk, WrestleMania 41 Looms

Seth Rollins has expressed openness to facing CM Punk in an MMA fight, stating he would participate if UFC president Dana White were interested in booking the match and he was given time for training. While Rollins emphasized he wouldn't instigate a backstage altercation, he believes a bout with Punk would be a unique crossover opportunity, especially now that WWE and UFC are under the same TKO umbrella, making such events more plausible. Rollins, who has no MMA experience, acknowledged that Punk previously fought twice in the UFC, though both attempts were unsuccessful. Their ongoing rivalry continues in WWE, culminating in a triple threat WrestleMania 41 main event alongside Roman Reigns. Rollins has also voiced strong personal criticism of Punk for his actions during and after leaving WWE, calling him a 'con artist' and expressing deep disdain. The highly publicized animosity between the two has fueled interest in both their WWE storyline and the hypothetical MMA matchup.
