Comments about a potential MMA fight have escalated tensions between CM Punk and Seth Rollins just days before their WrestleMania 41 triple threat match with Roman Reigns.
During an appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Show, CM Punk directly addressed Seth Rollins’ recent suggestion about a possible MMA bout between them.
Look, imma punch this motherf**ker in the face on Saturday. He’s talking about wanting to do an MMA fight. Well, alright, I’ll see you Saturday, kid.

The response from CM Punk follows Rollins’ comments made during an interview on Outta Pocket with RGIII, where he expressed willingness to face CM Punk specifically in the octagon. Rollins indicated it would be his first and only MMA fight, suggesting UFC president Dana White could potentially capitalize on the crossover appeal.
The verbal exchange adds another layer to their upcoming WrestleMania confrontation scheduled for the premium live event’s first night in Las Vegas. Both competitors, along with Roman Reigns, will square off in a high-stakes triple threat match.
The possibility of WWE talent competing in UFC has gained traction since both organizations now operate under the same corporate ownership structure. However, before any potential MMA contest could materialize, CM Punk appears focused on settling matters inside the wrestling ring this Saturday.
