A behind-the-scenes moment between Triple H and CM Punk before WrestleMania 42 has been captured on video, showing the WWE Chief Content Officer crediting Punk directly for the crowd inside Allegiant Stadium.
WWE released production footage showing the exchange on the stage before Saturday’s show, with both men looking out at the venue as Triple H delivered his message.
“It’s a big f***ing deal, right? It’s because of you, man. Thanks for the house.”
Punk deflected the credit rather than accept it outright.
“It was a team effort, you know that. It always has been. Thank you, those are kind words.”
Triple H added that he was glad to have Punk there, and Punk responded in kind.
“I’m happy to be here, you know that. Thank you for the opportunity.”
Punk headlined Night Two of WrestleMania 42, defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns in the main event before losing the title. The footage was part of Triple H’s behind-the-scenes production walkthrough from both nights of the event.
