Vince Russo points out one thing missing from CM Punk and Seth Rollins' promo on WWE RAW
Former WWE writer Vince Russo has reacted to the promo between CM Punk and Seth Rollins on the December 11 episode of RAW.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Vince Russo noted that Seth Rollins did not use his signature cackle once during the promo. Russo suggested that Punk might have told the World Heavyweight Champion to keep things serious during their promo last month.
"Did you notice bro, he did not use that ridiculous laugh one time on this promo and I wonder if that had anything to do with Punk saying you know what bro, really, let’s leave the laugh in the back and let’s have a serious promo." [From 17:00 - 17:12]
Seth Rollins has made it known in the past that he is not a fan of Punk and referred to the controversial star as a "cancer." It will be fascinating to see if the two stars wind up battling for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.
