During an episode of the Outta Pocket podcast hosted by Robert Griffin III, Seth Rollins shared his frustration about a potential matchup. He specifically mentioned wanting to see Roman Reigns face The Rock just to move past the constant speculation. “I’m sick of everybody talking about it,” Rollins said. He added that fans might not enjoy the match as much as they think once it finally happens.
At this stage, a feud between The Rock and Roman Reigns would likely fall flat. WWE had the opportunity to let Cody Rhodes win at WrestleMania 39 and then book Reigns vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 40. Instead, they extended Rhodes’ storyline, which now looks like a smart move in hindsight.
The family drama between The Rock and Roman Reigns has been quiet for some time. Reigniting that storyline now would be tough, as fans may not care as much. While the match will probably happen eventually, it’s hard to believe it would meet the enormous expectations.
“I’m sick of everyone talking about it, I just want to get it out of the way. See how much you’ll love it when you see it.”

Like Rollins, many fans feel the hype has dragged on too long. Even if the match happens, it’s unlikely to live up to the years of buildup. The moment may have passed, and the excitement just isn’t there anymore.
Seth Rollins is down to even fight CM Punk in UFC
Seth Rollins is getting ready to battle CM Punk in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41 this Saturday. Their rivalry isn’t just for TV—it’s personal. Rollins dislikes Punk so much that he’s willing to train in MMA just to fight him for real. Before their match with Roman Reigns, Rollins even suggested facing Punk in the UFC.
Punk tried MMA a few years ago but didn’t do well. He lost both of his UFC fights, though one was later ruled a no contest. His second fight was overturned when his opponent failed a drug test. Despite Punk’s experience, Rollins is confident he could take him on.
Rollins said on a podcast that he’d fight Punk in the UFC if given the chance. He joked that he wouldn’t attack Punk backstage but would gladly step into the octagon. He even challenged UFC president Dana White to book the fight, calling it a money-making opportunity.
But like, if Dana White wanted to book CM Punk vs Seth Rollins, you know, first, I guess, [non UFC fighter/fight] on one of his cards, I’d put on the gloves and give it a go
Seth Rollins on fighting CM Punk even in an MMA fight
While Punk trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu before joining the UFC, Rollins has no real MMA background. He’s been a pro wrestler since his teens. Still, he’s willing to try MMA just to settle his feud with Punk—even if it’s a one-time thing.
