#5 Seth Rollins yelled "you s**k" at a fan wearing AEW star CM Punk's shirt
During a live event at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC, former WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins took exception to a fan wearing a CM Punk t-shirt and yelled "you s**k" at him.
Seth Rollins and CM Punk had a long-standing set of issues that began when CM Punk was announced for WWE Backstage on FOX. The Messiah asked Punk to fight him, but his challenges fell on deaf ears.
Of course, CM Punk was never interested in rejoining WWE, signing with AEW instead two years from the online altercation with Rollins.
However, Money in the Bank briefcase holder Big E ensured the fan went happy by offering him a handshake after defeating Seth Rollins at the live show.
It's unlikely we'll ever see CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins considering both men are in different companies at the moment.
