CM Punk comments on the WWE creative process under Triple H compared to Vince McMahon
Ahead of the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble PLE, CM Punk appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and discussed the WWE creative process under Paul “Triple H” Levesque compared to Vince McMahon…
“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.
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.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
