Reaction to CM Punk-Seth Rollins Brawl & 'Monday Night RAW' on Netflix Match | Busted Open

[@alejandroortiz7192]

I’m on punks side because why would you want to continue staying in a place that makes you unhealthy that breaks both your body and mind

[@GenXMediahiphopbattlerap]

He was only unhappy because he didn't main event a WrestleMania so if he would have he would have never left so while I agree with you as far as health under any other circumstance just not this one, just listen to him talk now he is having fun because he is just doing what he is asked to do something he didn't do the 1st time around My point is it was only a unhealthy work environment for him because of his reaction to not getting what he thought he deserved

[@angeltodorov5918]

Because they dont have real heat and they are grasping at straws. That's why. They can only go with the Hangman promo, I am saving this place from you crap, that doesnt even make sense with all the backstage footage that they release how happy Punk is and how much he is involved with NXT and young talent etc.

[@cpc97]

@@GenXMediahiphopbattlerap Being told to show up to towns and either not being booked or not being prepared for booking, being made to work with and put over Ryback who legitimately injured him more than once, not being given the same media, movie and charity opportunities as Cena, even as WWE champion, being usurped by The Rock as a part timer in the main event scene, having a staph infection on his back and being made to compete under a cocktail of drugs that ultimately made him shit himself on a Smackdown in 2013 instead of being given time off to have surgery and heal, getting fired on his wedding day and learning of it through fedex. So if it was just about a Wrestlemania main event, I could understand it as an overreaction.

[@comicace4462]

Punk does not owe anything to anybody, He felt at that time the company was not fair to him, he was burnt out, unhappy, sick and he left. He left because of the culture wwe was carrying at that time. And now both wwe and punk have changed., they grew, And their mindset has changed.

If a lawyer for the other side or an arbitrator sees you’re still friends with people there, that could be disastrous to your case. And you also don’t know who would be ratting you out to Vince behind your back. It’s better to play it safe.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

The common denominator was Vince. He was the one responsible for all of those things. He was the reason why we lost punk in his prime. He was the reason why Sasha Banks walked out. He was the reason why we almost lost Randy Orton for good. It was the reason why AJ Lee left. I guess he was too busy counting his money and doing unspeakable things to interns to care about his employees. Thankfully , Vince is GONE. 😊 gone in disgrace and never coming back. It is no coincidence that once we got rid of the cancer in WWE that we saw so many good things start to happen, including the return of Punk.

[@jordshuttlewood]

Why is Dave n bully bringing it all back to undertaker match? Punk wasn't only stiffed one time he was the best in world that means you earned it but he wasn't main event more than just that one time and fans knew punk was best, everyone did but, that wasn't the only reason he left, it was also heath both physical and mental, we know punk was correct, WWE have told us punk was correct with there actions, punk wanted better protection cuz guys had to wrestle hurt, there was a drug issue pills etc, there was locker room issues, none of thee's things exist anymore because punk was correct and him leaving helped highlight the issues, is dave really pretending he prefers seph in this feud cuz he is telling the truth then why isn't K,O resonating with him? K,O is telling nothing but truth too but it doesn't mean his actions are.justified, just the same as seph being bitter doesn't resonate, seph and the others all got the benefits of punk leaving and highlighting some WWE issues.

[@lovelywaz]

Have we forgotten all the shots WWE took on Punk? Remember Stephanie saying something along this, "If you continue, you will last more than how long he did" to the audience chanting his name after his UFC loss? The so called berating and taking shots were NOT just one sided from Punk, I remember even Seth, Cena, Roman and maybe even HHH took shots at his UFC failure, despite him having the balls to go in there and fight for real.

Punk had to leave so he could heal mentally and physically and emotionally. And now that he’s healed, he’s back. 😊

[@jordshuttlewood]

Crazy for anyone hating on punk for walking out when we all know his complaints were justified we know this because the WWE has fixed the issues like working hurt no time off to many drugs among other things, I think punk leaving if it wasn't the reason for reform it certainly helped highlight the issues and speed up the solutions.

There's a lot more to the story than Punk not being thrilled to wrestle Taker at Mania. You're leaving out a lot about what he was going through physically and mentally, which was a way bigger priority than a match. They ran him into the ground, he was featured all year until Dwayne came back. Punk's side is just as understandable, and relatable, as Seth being hurt about it.

[@Pepsi_toni]

That’s precisely why people are siding with punk. Seth wants this fight. He’s the one with the problem. Punk is focused on leaving his issues in the past, finishing off his career the right way and accomplishing a life long goal. Why would we root for the guy who can’t seem to leave well enough alone? Especially when he said this same argument against Cody when he first came back, even brought up him destroying the throne, but now he’s fine with Cody. So why still hold it against punk?

[@Jeff_Pryce]

BINGO. All Punk has talked about since he came back one year ago was one thing: finally getting the main event of Wrestlemania. That is his one goal. That is his mission statement. That’s his story that he needs to finish. He has literally been minding his own business trying to work his way up towards the goal. Yet all Seth has been doing was the same thing that the Scottish Crashout Drew McIntyre was doing: making it weirdly personal. Over things in the past that the audience simply doesn’t care about. So from the larger perspective of the bigger audience, we have a guy coming back trying to accomplish goals, and then there’s a guy who keeps trying to pick a fight with him every time for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Thus Seth comes off like a jerk, and a bit of a bully, and a “pick me” at the same time. Of course the fans will side with Punk. 😂

But when he joined, AEW was doing better, and WWE wasn't doing as good as now. HHH mentioned how Punk has been respoinsible for changes within the WWE. Get brushed off at your work when you worry for your health, then turns out you were right, you'd be bitter towards your work place. Even if they'd grow and learn from their mistake, it'd take a lot of effort to accept to see it from your own eyes. Bridges were burnt from both side and they rebuilt.

I feel like most of the people are forgetting that there were a lot of reasons why Punk walked out. Yes not getting the main event at WrestleMania is one of them. But he was working sick and hurt. Anytime he asked Vince for time off, Vince said no. Punk got surgery on his elbow and then 3 weeks later, Vince asked him to work a TLC match against Ryback. Punk had all right to walk out. Everyone has a breaking point and Punk hit his. Also Dave thinks it’s working with Seth getting over more than Punk is beyond nuts. Most of the fans are going to cheer Punk no matter what. Plus Punk wasn’t dropping bombs after he left WWE and AEW. He is speaking the truth and unfortunately a lot of people can’t handle the truth

[@strikeforcerome]

I think you guys are forgetting that CM Punk fans watch WWE because many of them are anti establishment (when it comes to Vince and how the earlier WWE was run). Rollins coming out and trying to rally everyone about how/why he left originally isn't going to go anywhere because he's low-key aligning himself with the previous regime. So he winds up looking more like an abused spouse trying to defend the abuser than he does having actual "facts". As some of the others here have commented, he had other reasons for leaving. That doesn't mean I dislike Rollins though, I just think they aren't giving them the right stuff to work with. CM Punk comes off as bulletproof against him

[@subtlenuances]

CM Punk didn't walk out because he didn't get to main event WM😂 Everything has been clearly explained by Punk on the podcast. No research at all.

The problem is Drew McIntyre pulled off the heelish and bitter character way better. And got better with his promos as the feud went along. Seth should be more focused on proving why he, as opposed to Punk, is the "best in the world." When he told Punk that first promo last year "if you got any gas left in that old tank, we can go a few rounds in the ring."

[@Jeff_Pryce]

6:39 Two things: 1) Punk was wrestling injured with two bad knees and he was on the verge of walking out at the time due to injury and creative frustration with Vince. I don’t expect him to be super enthusiastic at that time. 2) Punk clearly wanted the main event of wrestlemania. The Undertaker is a legend, yes, but he was not main eventing. Punk is a very goal oriented type, from what I can tell. People like that deal and either in success or failures, nothing halfway. By being passed over for the main event of Wrestlemania, which is his dream, Punk felt he failed his goal that year, so it’s understandable that he wouldn’t be enthusiastic about his spot on the card. 3) No offense, but after dealing with I’m assuming hundreds of fans that week and multiple interviews, I could see why Punk would not be moved by your enthusiasm of a match he himself was not enthusiastic about at the time.

[@AXWforever]

💯. Also Punk was champion at the time and had the longest streak in the "Modern" era and dropped it to an old/part timer just to sell tickets for Mania. Being champion for that long automatically qualified him for main eventing WrestleMania in that year 2013. A streak vs streak match would've been more entertaining than Rock vs Cena for the second time. Rock/Cena ll match was horrible and deserved to be in the mid card.

Is it because Seth attacked him during their last face off? To me, Seth seems like a spotlight junkie. He'll latch on to a big attraction just to feel that energy. You don't believe me. He did it this past Mania. Yes he has history with Cody and Roman but he didn't need to be involved. Seth didn't have to team with Cody. There were other guys that could have been in that spot. I'll name a few... Randy, Kevin, Sami and Jey. Just when Seth doesn't have anything else he goes right back to picking a fight with Punk.

[@Kinlochbervie50]

it's the Popeye Principle: Seth kept running his mouth and for Punk "that's all I can stands and I can't stands no more". Punk also warned him last week to "stay out of my business". Well, Seth's putting himself in Punk's business, soooo...

[@oceandfs2412]

Shit take.

[@Drexel344]

Dude, I couldn't agree more! I've been saying this ever since Seth injected himself into the Cody & Rock picture. He likes being in the spotlight for relevancy b/c he's not relevant at all. Even Drew said that to him a few months ago.

[@rosewolf7768]

I'm with Seth. I get it Punk was miserable and needed to leave BUT he did not have to try to bury the WWE. Then he goes to AEW tries burying WWE again and then realizes AEW was worse then comes back to the place he tried to tear down for years.

[@AXWforever]

It's called moving on and leaving the past behind.

[@Drexel344]

Punk had every right to use his freedom of expression and trash the WWE at that time b/c he was treated horribly wrong by Vince, dare I say inhumane. Vince actively tore him down. However, who cares anyway? What's done is done. Fans don't care about this petty crap. I'm w/ Punk (as are most folks).

[@mbl611]

He left before wrestlemania 30 because they told him he was gonna work with HHH and he wasn’t gonna be the main event once again when he was the champ right when they were gonna start the road to wrestlemania

[@UnoOut26]

The physicality was cool, but the promos on both sides were kind of bland. It could’ve been better honestly

[@jocelyne6692]

Cm Punk owes no explanations to anybody. Why he left is common knowledge. I'm not going to be angry for the comments he made about the WWE when they were true and it's not my company. It's not Seth's company either. His issue with Punk makes no sense. He needs to come up with something else if he wants to carry this feud. Cause so far, it makes no sense.

[@nseuhbf6382]

Dave maybe you're having a hard time understanding why the fans are still on punk's side because you're taking everything Seth's saying at face value. Punk didn't just leave cus he wasn't getting what he wanted, he was hurt and sick and being mistreated. Also the reason he's being snarky is because he didn't do anything to Seth and Seth's been harassing him since he returned lol

[@Tom-w3n]

Whiny entitled Seth resonates and connects with whiny entitled Dave. Makes sense

[@Silencerrx]

Everyone’s forgetting he was fired on his wedding day. Vince made him wrestle unsafe wrestlers. He wrestled through injuries. If you are unhappy. You leave. He had been unhappy for a while. If a company disrespects you, you get mad and angry and let it all out

[@jordanwithers992]

Are they forgetting about The Rock basically stealing Punks (at the time) best chance at the wrestlemania main event? So of course at the time the Taker match might have pissed him off and I'm sure it wasn't Taker himself

[@emmssanchez00]

It’s still building! There’s a few more Raws left before Netflix

[@brendanmchugh8192]

I like that seth abandoned the music and fancy attire for this. More of seth rollins than seth freakin rollins

[@lukea8685]

I hope he permanently drops that gimmick

[@butterthyme2241]

Why are we all acting like Punk left because of Wrestlemania? He was sick, he was beaten down, he was pushed aside, then to that point his wrestlemania moment went from headlining to taking a pin in the middle of the show.

[@dougschadel8094]

If it's not the main event on the card then it's not the main event lol. CM punk wants to be the main event even if he was wrestling the undertaker

[@kyleharrigan2274]

Dave never acknowledges why Punk leave. Don’t make it look like he “abandoned” anybody. Also he didn’t want to “destroy” the company, he wanted to CHANGE the company.

[@corbinmacklin185]

Seth Rollins hating CM Punk because he had enough capital to be able to quit and stay away and he said bad things about a place where he had bad experiences is mark logic and agreeing with him is exactly what a mark would do

[@asiveonkephalume9484]

You didn't hear Seth Rollins last week he hates him because he didn't answer him and all his friends and that they did not Leave and side with him and bashed Seth every time he was asked or talked about wrestling

[@herchellejacobs7458]

U make it seem like seth the hypocrite

[@ChrisCash720]

Im all sethed out. Every fued is the same

[@Drexel344]

Speaking facts!

[@ReubenBarrett1989]

Punk basically sacrificed the prime of his career for the industry. If he didn't quit Vince never would have started letting wrestlers take time off, do movies, properly heal up and all of that.

[@gabb815]

This no different between The Rock-John Cena rivalry. Cena try to get the fans on his side but the rock is more beloved and popular. It overwhelmed the issue

[@chisomuzodimma-cl9pk]

Lets all be reminded that Seth mainevented wrestlemania this year for the first time He didn't bitch about it, he just worked harder every year to finally do it.

[@AXWforever]

If Vince was still there Seth would be in the opening match

[@chisomuzodimma-cl9pk]

@@AXWforever and he won't bitch about it he will only work hard to secure the spot next time, unlike cm punk

[@AshuPunjabi]

I'm on Punk's side, because if you were as mentally, physically, and emotionally burnt out, sick, and tired of working in the same place for 8 years and the last 3 years of your career have been just injuries to losing to part timers, to not given the respect to say hey, I'm giving you a call saying you can't do this or you can't do that, and how many IOUs Vince owes him, and the amount of shots people in the company and outside the company took at Punk to where he did the interview and the WWE sue him, causing him to be more mentally drained leading up to his career-ending UFC fight, I would not want to come back either. I would talk all this shit back to them because it's not fair for them to constantly take shots at Punk and Punk not being allowed to fire back because he's CM Punk and he's a fan favorite. And Punk already said to Seth I've moved on from Seth, you had the World Heavyweight title that I wanted, now you don't, so I could give a damn about anything you do or say, because you need me more than I need you, because without me, you're nothing more than the guy who helped Cody Rhodes become WWE champion, and you're not the champion anymore.

[@Robby_C]

I don’t understand how Punk isn’t “speaking truths” by calling Seth embarrassing… Seth has been basically unwatchable since he lost J&J Security. The most over thing about him is his song.

[@czbrat]

I still don't get what Seth is whining about. Because he was ghosted? Get over it. This is why the crowds aren't connecting with him either.

[@btdaniels9028]

What Dave forgets is that Seth is a corporate machine…any and everything would be good enough for him, it doesn’t matter to him if the fans thought he deserved better. Punk resonates to the working class people, those who work hard, the first to be called upon to fix a problem, to help business boom, then you see someone come along who hasn’t done anything close to what you’ve been producing get the perks you felt you deserved only to be told to settle for something else….2013 he lost to The Rock, The undertaker, and Lesnar and had to help elevate 3 guys and make sure to make one of them look “strong” Seth never had these issues cause he always settled for less that’s why he clings to theme he comes out to

[@kokocaptainqc]

i never care about ''brawls'' at all since its always the exact same brawl just with 2 different guys each time...

[@Larryandhisbelts]

What point of view does Seth have? The problem with what Seth is saying about Punk leaving WWE is WWE back then was well known as being incredibly toxic. And even with Punks bitterness, he was treated unfairly for sure. Sure he should have been happy with the Taker match. But that was just a part of it. Maybe the nail in the coffin. But he was treated unfairly too. Especially during his staff infection. Why would Punk want to stay when treated unfairly? And thats the problem. Seth should be using another angle with this. Like leaving Seth to the vultures and had to climb from the wreckage. Instead hes mad at Punk for just leaving. It makes no sense

[@rogelioarmentasolorzano3848]

When Punk left, Seth turned heel and The Shield was no more…

[@subtlenuances]

Even Punk fans understand where Seth is coming from. Jeez. Why is this so complicated lmao? Y'all are the ones spreading misinformation regarding the subject of Punk's exit from the company which in reality entails a lot of detailed reasons.

[@TheTradersPlaybook]

The reason is because Seth’s reasoning for hating Punk is Lame. Punk was mistreated and was against what Vince’s WWE stood for at the time. Punk held the Championship for 400 something odd days and didn’t get to Main Event WrestleMania. If Punk didn’t walk out WWE wouldn’t have started to make the changes it did putting the smaller guys on top like the Daniel Bryan’s and Seth Rollins. He was the voice of the voiceless and was fighting for the change we see today. They should’ve chose another angle for Seth to be mad at Punk about because if it weren’t for Punk there would be no Seth Rollins. Wasn’t it even Punk’s idea for the Shield behind the scenes? So I’m confused. Plus Seth is a goofy manchild who I can’t take serious up against the caliber of what CM punk brings. At least kill his goofy gimmick and dumb laugh and ridiculous clothes and entrance. With Drew it felt like two serious guys who hate each other. With Seth it feels like the little brother who whines and cry’s when big brother puts him in a headlock.

[@DomLab-g2n]

The Cody Crybabies may not like this but by next month, both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will turn heel.

[@PunkToledoGirl97]

I don’t think CM Punk will turn heel. I believe it will be Seth Rollins instead.

[@rd_2113]

Lol no, Seth is

[@chris7_uyahshgs981]

Cm punk definitely isn’t turning heel before the Seth feud 😂 everything about Seth screams heel. Seth is way too whiny and silly to be a good babyface, plus most crowds around the world will cheer punk over Seth

[@FerventMana]

Cody is the new Cena. He’s not turning Hollywood Rhodes any time soon.

[@DomLab-g2n]

Look at these marks with terrible takes.

[@Just2Slick4U]

Seth needs to fn get over it

[@THEORIGINALTRAVMAN]

I think "good enough for you" is very subjective, so don't act like you never left anywhere for your own subjective reasons.

[@romariogayle5878]

Christ almighty Dave….

[@ItaliaStalia]

Ever since seth cut that promo basically saying "CM Punk trained me for free i loved CM Punk but then he left and ghosted me" this fued has lost steam for me. Seth sounds like a pathetic ex

[@THECAPTAINx]

1:48 No, I’d say back then it felt real . Now its like WWE took that and made it into a storyline, it feels doctored

[@3rdFloor]

One guy thinks if you have good points you’ll turn the crowd on the other guy and the other one thinks you need to rationalize it calmly with the audience on why to hate him in a country with Donald Trump as the elected President. Punk can do bad things and get cheered lok

[@angeltodorov5918]

This dude is into the cringy guys... "It;s just - I am CM Punk" yea, there is a reason for this. The same as Brock. What there is to get. I am the money maker, go home kid.
