Recent accusations have claimed that both Triple H and friend Shawn Michaels went of their way to “bury” CM Punk in front of Vince McMahon during his tryout in 2005, and now Michaels has addressed the matter denying that was the case.
In a recent interview with Sirius XM Radio, Michaels acknowledged that he had heard about the accusations and commented:
“I had someone tell me, “Triple H, he buried CM Punk.” One, I never even met the guy [Bauer], supposedly he worked for us. Dave Lagana will tell you, as Punk will, that I was one of his biggest fans.”
Former WWE writer Court Bauer was the one who originally made the accusations on his own podcast, saying that the two D-X members buried Punk in front of the most important man in WWE.
“One time, Triple H along with HBK buried CM Punk. I think it was his 2005 tryout. Maybe he didn’t know the name, and wasn’t familiar with who it was but they buried him.”
“They annihilated his look and his work and I’m like ‘you just sunk the guy in front of the Chairman!’ They were shredding this poor guy.”
What do you guys think? Who is telling the truth here…
