He said, “I’m open to mending fences if that’s even possible. I know that might sound crazy, but I’m open to it. I’m almost 38, and I ain’t got time to hold all these grudges. I think it’s a lot of energy to hold that negativity in, and I’d like to put that energy somewhere else and make it positive.”

He also further added, “I’m open to all different facets of what this could be. I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to stuff like that. I think there will be a way to make it work for everybody.” Rollins, confident in his self-proclaimed status as the “Best in the World,” asserted his readiness to make amends with anyone, including Punk.
