10 Wrestlers Who Had Heat With Triple H
Triple H had a fever he was bursting with so much HEAT
6. CM Punk
Even before CM Punk had made his proper main roster debut, there were reports that Triple H had buried The Straight-Edge Superstar’s performance during a dark match, setting the tone for a tetchy relationship.
The two men didn’t really interact with each other much until they began a feud following the Summer of Punk in 2011. Their promos together cut close to the bone, with Punk referencing Triple H’s past of allegedly holding other wrestlers back, while Hunter made fun of his physique. Triple H won the big blowoff match, of course, which can’t have made Punk too happy.
Indeed, Punk famously walked out of the company before their next scheduled meeting, telling The Game on his way out that he didn’t ‘need’ to work with him at WrestleMania 30, but that it was Triple H who actually ‘needed’ to work with him.
The heat apparently extended to William Regal, with Punk refusing to shake his hand while the two were in AEW together because, in Punk’s opinion, Regal was a ‘stooge’ for his pal.
Of course, the Second-City Saint is now back in WWE and works closely with Triple H, the two men having patched things up prior to Punk’s unlikely return.
