The bad blood traces back to SummerSlam 2025, when Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract moments after Punk dethroned Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, as Rollins prepares to challenge WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for the Crown Jewel Championship in Perth, Punk looms as a potential spoiler. Here\u2019s why Punk\u2019s interference could ignite chaos at this weekend\u2019s premium live event.<\/p>\n<h2>A Grudge That Refuses to Die<\/h2>\n<p>CM Punk\u2019s animosity toward Seth Rollins burns as fiercely as ever. In 2024, Punk vowed that as long as he draws breath, Rollins would never hold a championship. Though that promise was broken, Punk\u2019s obsession with derailing his arch-nemesis persists. By costing Rollins a victory against Rhodes, Punk could not only settle a personal score but also add a thrilling twist to this heated rivalry, ensuring the WWE Universe stays glued to the drama.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Seth Rollins, I got your number.

In a candid moment with his advisor, Paul Heyman, Rollins questioned his chances of victory. Heyman laid it bare: a loss could unravel The Visionary\u2019s entire existence. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, key allies in Rollins\u2019 faction, The Vision, might lose faith in their leader.<\/p>\n<p>TribalWorse, Heyman could regret choosing Rollins over Roman Reigns. If Punk sabotages Rollins\u2019 match, he\u2019d deliver a devastating blow, effectively \u201cburning it down\u201d for The Architect.

Frustrated by the outcome, Lynch vented backstage. If Rollins falters at Crown Jewel, Lynch might begin questioning not just her husband\u2019s resolve but her own decision to stand by him.<\/p>\n<p>This could push the power couple to a breaking point, with Lynch potentially ousting Rollins from The Vision or even distancing herself from him entirely.
