Seth Rollins is currently engaged in a feud with Bronson Reed and is expected to face the RAW Superstar soon in action. The Visionary made an appearance on the recent episode of RAW, where he warned Reed and also mocked CM Punk in the process. This happened after The Best in the World opened RAW following Bad Blood and hinted at his uncertain future, possibly even retirement.
As Punk was walking backstage, Rollins' music hit, and a staredown occurred between the two. During Rollins' promo in the ring, he mocked Punk by suggesting that he would retire him whenever Punk returned to WWE after recovering from injury. Following this, reports surfaced that this could be long-term planning for a match between the two at next year's WrestleMania.
With the recent hints of CM Punk retiring from the squared circle, it’s possible that Rollins could be the star to retire him in their rumored match at next year's Showcase of Immortals.
Both Seth and Punk have a history of rivalry and vengeance since The Best in the World returned at last year’s Survivor Series Premium Live Event. This makes Rollins a prime candidate to retire CM Punk from in-ring competition. It will be intriguing to see what strategies WWE has for both Rollins and Punk, primarily after the recent hints about Punk’s retirement started going around.
What does Seth Rollins think about his own retirement from WWE?
Seth Rollins aims to retire CM Punk from in-ring competition, but one question that might arise is what The Visionary thinks about his own retirement. Rollins addressed this during an interview last year, where the former Royal Rumble winner spoke about stepping away from in-ring competition in WWE.
Seth Rollins stated that he had no intentions to retire anytime soon because he was having a lot of fun. The 38-year-old star mentioned that he’s still in his prime and that the business is thriving right now.
He said:
"I don’t intend on stopping any time soon. Like I said, I’m still in that window. The business is hot, I’m having a lot of fun. So I don’t know. I don’t see it any time in the immediate future. Let’s just say that."
He also emphasized that he was enjoying himself and didn't see himself stepping away in the immediate future. This was the only insight Rollins has shared about his retirement at the moment.
So, it seems there is no sign of stoppage for Seth Rollins, and he will continue to entertain the WWE Universe for a long time to come.
