Since his return to WWE in 2023, CM Punk’s once-adversarial relationship with Chief Content Officer Triple H has been a major topic of discussion. In a new interview, Punk praised his current collaboration with Levesque, calling it a “real treat.”
From ‘Adversarial’ To ‘On The Same Page’
Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Punk explained how both he and Triple H have grown and gained new perspectives since his first run in the company, which has changed their dynamic.
“Between me and Triple H, there is so much more of an understanding,” Punk said. “Me and him, I think we were both on the main roster, and were talented guys. It was more adversarial because we were competition. Now we’re not and are on the same page and want to help the next generation… Look, I love working with the guy. It’s amazing.”
Wrestler Punk, Not Office Punk
Punk, who has been praised for offering advice to younger talent, also made it clear that he has no desire to take on an official office role while he is still an active competitor, as he believes it would be a conflict of interest.
“I’m still kind of pumping the brakes on any kind of office title. I don’t want to be office Punk while I’m active main roster wrestler Punk,” he stated. “Those things do not mix. You can not try to tell somebody else what to do while you are essentially booked in a certain position on the show, in my opinion.”
Punk’s positive and focused mindset has led him directly to the main event picture on Raw. After winning a number one contender’s gauntlet match this past Monday, he is now scheduled to challenge GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship at the SummerSlam premium live event on August 2nd and 3rd.
