Back in November of 2023 the unthinkable happened when CM Punk finally made his big return to WWE at the Survivor Series premium live event. The WWE that CM Punk returned to is different from the WWE that he left in 2014 as Triple H is now in charge of creative.
Triple H recently talked about his relationship with CM Punk on High Performance, and he explained why collaborating with the Second City Saint has become one of his favorite things.
“We’ve had a couple of moments since his return, there was one moment where he’d return and they told him something creatively and they told me, ‘He does not like this.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll talk to him.’ Went and talked to him. ‘What’s going on?’ I told him the creative and he was like, ‘That’s good, whatever.’ I was like, ‘I know you don’t like it. Everybody’s told me. Let’s be open.’ He complained about what it was and I said, ‘Let’s go sit and talk about it and come up with something good.’
“That sort of changed, it was like a paradigm shift for us relationship-wise, and now, it’s a funny thing for me to say, sitting down and being collaborative with CM Punk is one of my favorite things in TV because he shares a very similar view at the end of the day of the business as I do.”
