CM Punk says the big difference between Vince McMahon and Triple H running WWE creative is that the latter listens to other people.
The Straight Edge Star was the latest guest on Pat McAfee Show ahead of tonight\’s Royal Rumble PPV. He talked about things such as performing in front of big crowds, his 2024 injury, and more.
When asked about Triple H taking over the creative and how The Game\’s process differs from his father-in-law, Punk explained that the Attitude Era star is more receptive to other people\’s ideas:
\”I think he\’s receptive to other people\’s ideas, whereas maybe Vince wasn\’t. He was like, \’I\’m the boss. We\’re doing this, and this is how we\’re doing it.\’ And that\’s great. If you run a company, you need somebody who is the yes and no man and [has] the final say.\
The Best Idea Always Wins: CM Punk
CM Punk claimed that Triple H has surrounded himself with people who have Bonafide resumes and it allows him to filter the best ideas:
\”But I think Triple H thinks he\’s surrounded, and oftentimes is, by a lot of really, really genius wrestling minds. If he has an idea or see something one way, he\’ll look at Michael Hayes and be like, \’What do you think?\’ He\’ll turn and look at Paul Heyman.
These are people who have Bonafide resumes. They have literally done everything you possibly could do in the sport. I think their voices should be heard. Not all the time everybody\’s going to have this dynamite idea. But I think the best idea always wins in today\’s WWE.\
Apart from this Punk also talked about John Cena announcing his retirement tour for 2025. You can check out his comments on the matter here.
