During an interview with Sportsbible.com, CM Punk shared a story about his script being ripped up by Paul “Triple H” Levesque shortly after the 2023 Survivor Series PLE…

“So I come back and I all over Randy [Orton]’s moment, right? It’s a Survivor Series. Randy has been gone. He’s rehabbed. He’s got a new spine. He comes back, and then here’s CM Punk to just step all over it. Then the following week, he’s got a match. I think it was with Dom, and they go over on their time, and it drastically cuts my promo time. And we’re all hooting, and I’m just laughing about it. I’m just like, ‘oh, whatever. This is fun. Whatever I don’t get to say this week, I’ll just say next week.’ That’s the beauty of doing 52 live shows a year.

I remember I was running around with a piece of paper in my hand that had whatever I was supposed to say. And I keep looking at it, and I’m looking at it, and then Triple H gets up and he comes up to me. He goes, ‘what are you doing, man? You’re freaking everybody out.’ And I’m like, ‘What do you mean? I’m freaking everybody out.’ He’s like, ‘Nobody here has ever seen you hold a script in your hand and read it. You’re not just going to go out there and say whatever the hell you want.’ And I was just like, ‘Oh, well, I’m new around here, so I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. You know what I mean?’ He grabbed the piece of paper and he crumpled it up and he threw it out. And he was just like, ‘You’re CM Punk.’ He’s like, ‘Just go out there and talk to the people.’ And I was just like, ‘Right.’ And that’s what I needed to hear. You know what I mean? Because I am trying to move in a certain way. And he’s just like, ‘No, you don’t got to do that. Just go be you. That’s why you’re here.'”
