A private message has revealed Triple H being worried about CM Punk and Vince McMahon sharing the same flight. Fans are well aware that the Voice of the Voiceless and McMahon rarely saw eye-to-eye.
Who can forget Punk walking out on WWE in 2014 due to frustrations over his treatment in the promotion? He was also vocal in his criticism of the company and those in charge, including McMahon.
Thanks for the submission!
His blockbuster return to WWE in November 2023 came at a time when new ownership had taken over the company. Vince had stepped down in 2022, only to return a few months later and was calling shots for most of 2023.
Hence, there was some skepticism when the duo shared a plane ride. The ongoing lawsuit against WWE over the TKO merger revealed details of a private WhatsApp conversation between Triple H and Nick Khan.
In a report by POST Wrestling, the chat on December 10, 2023, shows HHH sharing concerns over Vince’s return in WWE with Khan. He texts Khan a few times regarding the situation and then relays a different issue while talking about it again.
“Paul Levesque: So he’s on the AM plane ….. I just remembered punk is scheduled to be on it as well. You think that’s an issue?” the text message reads.
Punk had returned to WWE only a few weeks earlier at Survivor Series, and given the history between him and McMahon, Triple H was left worried things might take an ugly turn when they shared a flight. It appears, though, no such problem occurred.
CM Punk referenced Vince McMahon on RAW
As we get closer to WrestleMania 42, CM Punk is expectedly kicking things up a notch. But he still had a massive surprise in his pocket for this week’s RAW.
He came out to start the show and addressed his Mania opponent, Roman Reigns. This was followed by a dig at The Rock, and he then mentioned that Reigns ate dog food for a “weird old man,” referencing Vince McMahon.
CM Punk went on about how he didn’t take nonsense from McMahon and left because he had a lot of money with him.
