Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, appeared on the SummerSlam post-show and shared his thoughts on Seth Rollins’ recent actions. He was questioned about how Rollins cleverly masked a knee injury while securing a Money in the Bank (MITB) contract, eventually leading to a win over CM Punk at the end of PLE.
During the discussion, Triple H praised Rollins for his smart gameplay, stating that Rollins was thinking several moves ahead while others were distracted. He admired Rollins’ strategic approach, saying, “Seth Rollins plays chess while everyone else is checking, and he comes out unscathed to claim the World Heavyweight Championship. My hat goes off to him for such cleverness.”
Triple H also weighed in on the ongoing feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, which has been intensifying since Punk’s return to WWE. He believes their rivalry is far from over because Rollins thinks Punk is out of place in the business.
He elaborated, “In CM Punk’s mind, one thing Seth Rollins holds dear was disrespected. That’s the respect for WWE and the wrestling industry, and Punk will never forgive that. He can’t move past it.”
The segment ended with Rollins celebrating while holding his championship belt, while Punk remained in the ring, visibly processing the outcome even after the show concluded. Fans can catch detailed developments on this storyline after SummerSlam airs.
Fan Take: This storyline between Seth Rollins and CM Punk keeps WWE fans hooked with its deep rivalry and high stakes. It highlights the blend of athleticism and storytelling that keeps the sport thrilling and unpredictable.
