SummerSlam is all set and done now in the history books. It was a memorable night for the fans and for many of the superstars. One such star was CM Punk, who competed in his first singles match in WWE in over a decade. However, one heartwarming moment came after the match, when he was seen having an interaction with Stephanie McMahon on the ringside.
Following a heartbreaking loss against Drew McIntyre, the Best in the World sat in the ring for some time. After the spotlight was off of him, he went to the ringside to have a moment with Stephanie McMahon. The two stars talked to each other and hugged after a gruesome match with the Second City Saint. Punk looked dejected as McMahon was applauding for his performance at SummerSlam.
Moreover, at this moment, it is quite certain that Stephanie has buried the hatchet with the Voice of the Voiceless. The two stars were at loggerheads for years, and they even took various shots against each other on many different occasions. For now, things have changed, and it looks like there is a new wave in WWE.
However, this new wave couldn’t save CM Punk from getting a loss against the Scottish Warrior. The Best in the World got a little emotional during the match which led to McIntyre taking an advantage and delivering a vicious Claymore. He even got involved in a rugged confrontation with the special referee, Seth Rollins, that became the beginning of the end for the Straight Edge Superstar.
CM Punk compared the leadership of Triple H and Vince McMahon
CM Punk is a professional wrestling veteran who has seen everything in his career. He was an integral part of the time of Vince McMahon and is an important star in the time of Triple H as well. Recently, the Voice of the Voiceless talked about how it feels different in the reign of The Game as compared to that of McMahon a few years back.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, the Best in the World said that The King of Kings is more approachable as compared to Vince. He added that there was a sense of hesitation among the superstars during the McMahon era. However, Triple H wants the talents to give their best. Therefore, he is involved with everything on the roster.
It’s been great. Vince would make people wait outside his office. There would be like a line, and people would be intimidated by that. I don’t get that read off Triple H at all.CM Punk via SI
Moreover, Punk also revealed that there used to be a line of stars standing for a conversation with McMahon. That’s not the case in the Game’s era. He added that Hunter is easily accessible, and doesn’t like people waiting for him. With that being said, the Second City Saint agreed that this is a new era in WWE, and things have certainly changed for the better.
