The wrestling world recently reacted to WWE Superstar Seth Rollins taking brutal shots at AEW star CM Punk.

The Voice of the Voiceless has been absent from All Elite Wrestling programming since the 'Brawl Out' incident last year. He is currently out of action with an injury, and if reports are to be believed, his future in the Jacksonville-based promotion is uncertain.

There has been some fan speculation about Punk potentially jumping ship to WWE somewhere down the line. However, one RAW Superstar clearly stated that he doesn't want CM Punk anywhere near him in the sports entertainment juggernaut.

During his interview with Wrestling Inc. ahead of Royal Rumble 2023, The Visionary called Punk a "cancer" and took multiple digs at him. The Twitterati erupted at Rollins' comments on the current AEW star, with many fans claiming it could lead to a feud between the two stars in WWE.

Below are some of the reactions to the same on the social media site:

Teddy Long recently spoke about how WWE could possibly bring CM Punk back to the fold

While speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, Long said that he is not too interested in The Voice of the Voiceless' potential WWE return being a "surprise."

"Well, I look at it different. I’d like for him not to be a surprise. I’d like for him, that’s all of a sudden and f*** there he is," Teddy Long said. [25:33 - 25:40]

The wrestling veteran further added that CM Punk's return could keep the viewers for the RAW after Royal Rumble.

"Now you got something to go right into Monday Night RAW with. You come right out of that and you go right into RAW and you got ‘em hooked now. And they are waiting to see if when he comes out on RAW what’s going to happen right there. I leave it a mystery man, and give that big shock. You got ‘em. Now Monday Night RAW they’re hooked, they are waiting on him,” he added. [25:41 - 25:58]

Despite much fan speculation about Punk's possible WWE return, it is highly unlikely that it will happen as he is still contracted to AEW.

However, it will be interesting to see if he is open to a move to the sports entertainment juggernaut after his potential exit from All Elite Wrestling.
