After WWE Night of Champions, Triple H shared several insights, with one of the most unexpected being his praise for CM Punk. During a post-show discussion with Jackie Redmond and Byron Saxton, Paul Levesque expressed gratitude to Torquial Sheikh and the General Entertainment Authority for hosting the event in Saudi Arabia. However, his remarks about Punk stood out. Levesque reflected on how much Punk has changed and admitted that he never imagined seeing Punk perform for WWE in Saudi Arabia.
“If CM Punk had said that he was in Saudi Arabia for WWE 10 years ago, you would have thought you were crazy,” he said.
Triple H emphasized that people grow, evolve, and learn throughout life.
“But people grow, people change, people evolve, people learn, they learn a lot in life,” he added.
WWE officials also commended Punk for his conduct during the trip, highlighting his public apology to the Saudi people.
“It was possible to see him grow as a person and come out here to apologise to the Saudi people and cherish where he is, in order to cherish his life, his career and what he does and the opportunities he has,” Triple H noted.
With Punk having already made his return to WWE, Triple H’s support adds a meaningful dimension to this ongoing narrative.
