Since then, Rollins and Lynch have often taken Roux with them on the road during WWE tours. During a recent appearance at WWE World, Rollins explained how fatherhood and marriage shifted his priorities.
“I think what that’s done is it’s opened up an entire new world for me in my career, because I have somebody else to live for. I have another priority that’s more important than myself. And so, when I jump back in the car and put my foot on the gas, it’s not just for me. It’s for her and for her future.”
“But it also allows me to do it in a way that is, in some ways, more productive, because I have less pressure. Like, it’s not the most important thing in the world for me to be the greatest you know what I mean? What’s most important in the world for me is that I’m the greatest dad, that I’m the best husband I can be. And it’s allowed me to kind of have a different perspective on my career and what it means to be successful.”

“Look, I am a professional, through and through. And I’ve said it time and time again. I said it on Monday. I will always do what is best for business. And I think that’s what separates me from CM Punk and from Roman Reigns. CM Punk has proven, no matter what he says to you guys. He will always do what’s best for CM Punk. And if that includes taking his ball and going home and crying when he has to, that’s what he’s going to do.”
Rollins also mentioned he doesn’t trust his former mentor. He finished by saying he’ll take every opportunity to knock out Punk.
“And if that means that I got to put my pride aside and get in the ring with CM Punk, then I will do that. But I will tell you this and this is as real as it gets. I do not like CM Punk, I do not respect CM Punk. I have a hard time being in the same room with him and having conversations in his space. And I don’t trust him and I don’t trust that he’s back with all these good intention. And that it’s going to last and so, time may prove me wrong. I am open to being wrong. But right now, I have no love lost with CM Punk. And I will take every opportunity I can to knock him out.”
