What happened between CM Punk and Triple H? Documenting the duo’s hateful past

The tension between Triple H and CM Punk has existed since the early days of their wrestling careers. It is no secret to WWE fans that both superstars harbor animosity not only inside the promotion but also in real life.

They have always been on bad terms, unable to work together, and due to that, Punk eventually left WWE. However, the return of The Second City Saint to WWE is potentially bringing about change, as recent reports suggest.

Explaining the Previous bad blood between CM Punk and Triple H

Triple H and CM Punk had one of the biggest backstage rivalries in WWE history. Reports of animosity between the two surfaced before Punk joined the WWE main roster. They never formed a good relationship, as Punk was viewed as someone Vince McMahon pushed more than Triple H wanted. Things worsened when they entered a storyline based on their tension.

Before joining WWE, CM Punk made controversial comments about Triple H, calling him a “belt mark” in an interview. Punk’s character as a heel in ROH was also compared to Triple H. However, Triple H reportedly never believed that Punk had the wrestler look that he deemed important at the time. The Second City Saint had similar wrestling moves as Triple H during his indie run, including the Pepsi Plunge finisher.

Punk stopped using the move before joining WWE because it hurt his knees too much. Triple H and Shawn Michaels reportedly buried Punk in the locker room while watching his test match with the rest of the wrestlers in 2005. The first-ever interaction between Triple H and CM Punk came at the 2006 Survivor Series event. Punk teamed with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and The Hardy Boyz as a face-dream team.

In 2010, Triple H mocked CM Punk’s appearance during a promo battle on SmackDown. This led to tension between the two. In CM Punk’s famous pipe bomb promo, he insulted Vince McMahon, which was unusual but not unprecedented in WWE. CM Punk’s new character as the “voice of the voiceless” saw him become a major star at the highest level. Triple H emerged as someone he had issues with both in the ring and backstage as part of the storyline.

During his time at WWE, CM Punk had issues with Triple H, whom he accused of burying him during their feud in 2011. Punk was angry about losing a match against Triple H, which he believed hindered his momentum. In a meeting with Vince McMahon, Punk aired his grievances and insulted Triple H, claiming that he would never be able to achieve his vision in WWE.
