CM Punk infamously clashed with Triple H and Vince McMahon over creative and other ideas before his departure in 2014. Punk has been back in WWE for over a year after making his return at WWE Survivor Series 2023 and now works closely with Triple H, who is the Chief Content Officer.
The landscape of wrestling has changed since he returned, including WWE announcing a multi-year partnership with TNA Wrestling.
Speaking to Pat McAfee on The Pat McAfee Show, Punk was asked about the partnership and how Triple H seems more receptive to working with others.
"I think he's receptive to other people's ideas, whereas maybe Vince wasn't. He was, 'I'm the boss, we're doing this and this is how we're doing it.' That's great. If you run a company, you need somebody who is the 'yes' and 'no' man, and the final say. Triple H thinks he's surrounded, and oftentimes is, but a lot of really genius wrestling minds. If he has an idea or sees something one way, he'll look at Michael Hayes and be like, 'What do you think?' He'll look at Paul Heyman. These are people who have bonafide resumes and have literally done everything you could possibly do in the sport and their voices should be heard. Not all the time will everybody have this dynamite idea, but the best idea always wins in today's WWE," said Punk.
While making the media rounds, Paul Heyman gave more insight into Triple H's creative process. Fans can find his full comments by clicking here.
