Speaking to Wrestle Radio Australia ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber, Rollins had some words for CM Punk.

"I mean, I don't want to say I told you so. But me and a lot of other people told you so. What's the line? Fragile mind. Fragile body. Fragile ego. I think somebody that I know said something like that about him, and it rings true. So look, here's the deal, and I told him this in the ring, if you want to find your way to me and the World Heavyweight Championship, you're gonna have to work for it; the deal is he's gonna have to work a little harder now." he said via Fightful.

Drew McIntyre outlasted Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, and Logan Paul. McIntyre will face Rollins at Wrestlemania 40.
