Triple H Allegedly Trying To “Cover His A**” In WWE

WWE veteran publicly blasts Triple H.

On the latest episode of The Coach and Bro Show, WWE veterans Vince Russo and Jonathan Coachman were discussing CM Punk’s absence from WWE. Punk was last seen on Raw after WrestleMania 42, where he had an in-ring segment with Cody Rhodes in which he subtly teased going after Cody’s Undisputed WWE Championship.

Vince Russo Believes Triple H Is Holding CM Punk Back for One Reason

Talking about CM Punk’s absence from WWE, Vince Russo stated that Punk is absent because Triple H plans to bring him back as a trump card to “cover his a**” when ratings fall.

Russo argued that this is what Triple H does every time. Whenever the ratings drop, he pulls out big cards like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk and brings them back to television to bring up the numbers.

I think part of that is Triple H covering his a**. When the number and the ratings and Netflix and USA and you name it, when that hits a certain point, ‘Oh, he’s got that CM Punk ace in his back pocket, and he pulls it out every time. That’s his MO.

We’ve seen it over and over and over again when the fans really start getting on their case, and it’s negative, and they’re getting buried up. Bring CM Punk back. Bring Roman Reigns back. Bring Brock Lesnar back. That’s the only game the guy plays. I mean, seriously. And that’s what he’s holding the CM Punk card for now. [Booking for the pop, right?] 1000 for the pop. Absolutely.

Amid his absence from WWE, The Second City Saint has undergone a massive transformation that is drawing a lot of fan attention.
