CM Punk described his return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 as a moment when “hell froze over,” highlighting the shocking nature of his comeback after a long absence. He even posted a photo with Triple H, a significant gesture considering their well-documented clashes both on-screen and behind the scenes during the early 2010s.

During a recent interview with High Performance, Triple H commented on where things stand now, saying that despite any creative differences, they’ve found a way to communicate and work through issues professionally. He said,

“We’ve had a couple of moments since his return, there was one moment where he’d return and they told him something creatively and they told me, ‘He does not like this.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll talk to him.’ Went and talked to him. ‘What’s going on?’ I told him the creative and he was like, ‘That’s good, whatever.’ I was like, ‘I know you don’t like it. Everybody’s told me. Let’s be open.’ He complained about what it was and I said, ‘Let’s go sit and talk about it and come up with something good.’ That sort of changed, it was like a paradigm shift for us relationship-wise, and now, it’s a funny thing for me to say, sitting down and being collaborative with CM Punk is one of my favorite things in TV because he shares a very similar view at the end of the day of the business as I do.”
