Rollins also confronted Punk during RAW, and there seems to be no respect between both parties. Rollins was asked about his initial reaction to seeing Punk coming out on the stage after their War Games match. While joining Monday Night RAW via satellite, The Architect said:
'It was such a mixture of emotions, rage and disappointment. But also like you kinda knew it was coming, and then when you hear it, it was almost like a disbelief, like you've seen a ghost. But a ghost that you really want to punch in the mouth, I guess is the best way to put it.'
