WWE’s Fanatics Fest convention is currently taking place at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, and one of the major highlights from the event was a heated confrontation between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, adding another layer to their long-simmering rivalry.
The two top WWE stars exchanged sharp words during an in-person encounter at the convention, though the situation ultimately did not escalate into a physical altercation. The moment drew loud reactions from fans in attendance, signaling the continued intensity of their feud.
Punk and Rollins have been entangled in a bitter conflict since Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023. Following the conclusion of Punk’s feud with Drew McIntyre, his issues with Rollins reignited. Punk previously eliminated Rollins from the Elimination Chamber, and also scored a win over him on the first-ever RAW on Netflix. Rollins later evened the score with victories in a steel cage match on RAW and a WrestleMania triple threat that also included Roman Reigns.
Most recently, Rollins and Bron Breakker defeated Punk and Sami Zayn on Saturday Night’s Main Event. While both men have bested each other in high-profile matches, it’s clear the animosity between them is far from over.
