CM Punk made a surprising return to WWE last year at Survivor Series WarGames. It was definitely the most shocking and unexpected return in WWE history.

Vince McMahon sold WWE last year and also left the post of chairman in 2024. He does not have any connection with the company now. Triple H is the CEO of WWE now under the leadership of TKO Group and has full control over the creative. Recently, CM Punk appeared on the SI Media podcast, where he discussed several topics like his WWE and AEW runs and more. During the conversation, the “Cookie Master” was asked about his work experience under Vince McMahon and Triple H.
Punk clearly expressed his dissatisfaction about working under Vince McMahon and stated that the former chairman used to make people wait outside his office. “There would be like a line, and people would be intimidated by it, and I don’t get that read from Triple H at all,” said Punk.
CM Punk later spoke about his experience working under Triple H and stated that he never had that kind of experience with Vince. Punk said that he always asks him a question if he needs to and never wastes his time. According to CM Punk, Triple H is more hands-on, friendly and approachable with people.
