CM Punk Reveals Surprise Details On ‘Burying The Hatchet’ With Triple H, Current State Of Relationship With Roman Reigns

During an in-depth conversation this week, CM Punk “peeled the curtain back” on several behind-the-scenes questions, including his current relationship with WWE head of creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque and top star Roman Reigns.

CM Punk remains one of the professional wrestling industry’s great lightning rods for discussion despite rarely giving long-format interviews with media outlets. He has been viewed as one of the business’s greatest renegades and on the rare occasion he speaks publicly away from the ring his opinion spreads like wildfire.

That was again the case on Monday when he appeared on MMA Fighting’s “The MMA Hour” hosted by veteran MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. During his nearly two-hour-long chat, he spoke on many topics, including his fallout with AEW and their CEO Tony Khan. However, he also talked about mending fences with decision-makers in WWE.

While going into depth about the events that led to his shocking return to the company after a decade away, CM Punk revealed the huge role President Nick Khan played in his return but also a major meeting between him and the man overseeing WWE’s content, Triple H. A person many have assumed he had major issues with.

“When I spoke to [Triple H0, that’s when the ball really got rolling because it was a very; I asked him if he wanted to talk on the phone, and he said, ‘No, I would actually rather like to FaceTime you so I can see you.,'” Punk said. “And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’ And we just talked about a whole lot of stuff and about stuff that was at one point serious to probably both of us that is silly now. And we just laughed, buried a hatchet.

“And then we started talking business. And I was like, ‘Man, this is like Thanksgiving. I don’t want to bother you. You’re with your girls. We can talk about it later’. But then I was just like, ‘Well, Friday, and then the show’s Saturday.’ It all got done very, very fast. My lawyer was not stoked to be working overtime on Thanksgiving,” he said with a laugh.
