[WATCH] Backstage footage shows Triple H proposing blockbuster idea to CM Punk after his shocking WWE return
WWE CCO Triple H had a proposal for CM Punk shortly after he returned backstage following his big return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. WWE has shared the BTS video of Punk's return on its official YouTube channel.
At last year's Survivor Series: WarGames PLE, Punk made his blockbuster return to WWE. A year later, WWE has now shared never-before-seen BTS footage of Punk's shocking return.
When CM Punk returned backstage after his on-screen appearance at Survivor Series: WarGames, Triple H approached the former WWE Champion. The Cerebral Assassin then asked Punk a question:
"Phil! You wanna put up a picture with me and blow up the internet?" [5:04-5:09]
CM Punk and Triple H weren't on good terms not too long ago
In late 2014, Punk appeared on his then-friend Colt Cabana's podcast and took massive shots at WWE, Vince McMahon, and Triple H. Punk wasn't happy one bit with the way things were handled in WWE back when he was a mainstay in the company. Here's what he said about Triple H:
"And I turned to Hunter and I said 'all due respect, I do not need to wrestle you, you need to wrestle me. I do not want to wrestle you. I seriously resent you for not putting me over three years ago when you should have. That would have been best for business but you had to fu*king come in and squash it. And then I had to lose to fu*king Truth and Miz. It didn't make any business sense then, it doesn't make any business sense now, and I am in a position now where I can tell you that I don't have to nor do I want to wrestle you at WrestleMania."

Fans are aware that shortly after Punk's return, Triple H posted a picture with him and it broke Wrestling Twitter, as The Game had predicted. Punk is now all set to compete at this year's Survivor Series: WarGames event and will team up with Roman Reigns' OG Bloodline.
