• CM Punk Is Not Injured After RAW Incident
CM Punk sustained no injury following a concerning moment on this week’s RAW, according to PWInsider.
A fan-captured video showed Punk taking a rough lower back bump on the apron while exiting the ring over the top rope.
However, sources confirmed to PWInsider indicate no signs of injury – internally and backstage, there was no indication that Punk was hurt. The report suggests the viral rumors were unfounded and not based in fact.
Punk is scheduled to team up with his wife, AJ Lee, to take on the team of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Wrestlepalooza.
• Triple H Fires Back At Critics Of WWE Unreal
WWE Unreal, a show exposing a lot of the stuff that goes on backstage, was released on Netflix back in July. While some fans really enjoyed watching how things work behind the scenes in WWE, some felt like the show wasn’t needed, and the work that goes into the product shown on TV should’ve remained a secret.
While speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H responded to the critics of the show. Below is what he said:
“The internet is all complaining that we’re lifting the curtain and showing you stuff meanwhile they’re doing a podcast where all they’re doing is talking about the behind the scenes sh*t that’s going on. I don’t understand that logic.
The world knows, an 8-year-old kid lifts up his phone, Google’s stuff and knows all the behind the scenes stuff right there. So being able to see it, we’re still not showing you how the trick is done, we’re still not showing you how the guy levitates, we’re still not showing you any of that stuff but to me what that show does is show you the heart, soul and passion that everybody puts into that product to make it great for fans.
It’s not taken as the most serious thing on the planet, it’s supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be entertainment, it’s supposed to be a good time.
If you’re a fan you already know, if you’re not a fan watching that makes you think, ‘man they put a lot into this, I’m interested in watching that now, I learned something about these people as human beings, not just as characters and that interests me’ – I’ve heard a lot of people say that.”
It is unknown if a second season of WWE Unreal is in the works, but it seems like there’s a good chance it happens based on Triple H’s comments.
• People In WWE Frustrated Over Leaked Photos Of Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was recently spotted vacationing with his wife Stephanie McMahon in Mykonos, Greece. Their pictures were all over the internet, which did not go down well with people backstage in WWE.
According to Fightful Select, there were several people in the company who were “frustrated” and “upset” that the pictures leaked, calling it an invasion of privacy. The claim was that they were paparazzi snapped photos and not released with permission.
A number of people that had posted pictures of the couple on vacation claimed they received legal notices of some sort. It wasn’t said if this was simply a cease and desist or more, but it was implied that it was the photo agency as opposed to WWE or the family.
