On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, just days before the Royal Rumble 2025, Seth Rollins delivered a powerful promo that set the tone for the night. At the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, Rollins confidently declared himself better than anyone on the planet, leaving the crowd excited and in awe.
After losing to CM Punk on Raw’s Netflix debut on January 6, Seth Rollins seemed lost for a while. The defeat hit him hard, and it took time for him to recover. During Monday Night Raw, he acknowledged that other thoughts distracted him and caused him to lose focus on his goals.
But now, Rollins is back on track and ready to give it his all to win the Royal Rumble match. He said he reflected on who he is and who he wants to be. Then he said that he figured out that he is Seth Freakin Rollins and added, “I don’t stay down for nothing. I stand up when I know who I am.”

Rollins then made the bold statement: “When I’m the most focused version of myself, there is nobody on this planet better than me.” This was clearly a jab at CM Punk, whose nickname is “The Best in the World.” With Rollins now calling himself the best on the planet, it’s clear their rivalry has reached a whole new level.
CM Punk compares his rivalry with Seth Rollins to wrestling’s greatest
CM Punk and Seth Rollins have one of the most exciting rivalries in WWE. It was supposed to start at the end of 2023, but for many reasons, it got delayed.
Now, it’s finally getting the attention it deserves. Punk is already well-known for his feud with Drew McIntyre, and fans hope that his rivalry with Seth Rollins will be just as big.
On the ‘Nightcap’ podcast, Punk compared their feud to the famous rivalry between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. He said, “This is one of those Hogan-Savage deals that’s gonna just go on for as long as the beef has already been festering. 10-plus years… this one’s gonna fester for a while.”
