Seth Rollins has been long rumored to face CM Punk at next year’s WrestleMania. Although the two stars have been on collision course for over a year, there has always been a question about who would play the villain and the hero of this story. Recently, The Visionary dropped hints for a potential heel turn, fueling these ongoing discussions.
Speaking on The Pivot, Rollins admitted that he enjoys playing a heel more than being a babyface. He added that antagonists have always intrigued him with their personas. Therefore, he feels much more comfortable being a villain on screen.
I think I did always see myself as a heel. They just have so much more fun. It’s so much more fun to be an antagonist.
It feels great to have the adulation but it’s so much more fun and to be fair, it’s a little easier, at least in 2024, to be a heel in our industry. Seth Rollins via The PivotAdditionally, the former WWE Champion added that it has been a lot easier to transition into a heel nowadays, especially with the prevalence of online hate. These statements were a massive indication of Rollins’ interest in a heel turn.
Besides, the 38-year-old has often shown shades of a heel in his prior confrontation with CM Punk. “The world doesn’t revolve around CM punk”Seth Rollins cooked CM punk 🔥🔥🔥🔥#WWERaw pic. twitter.
