• “F**k Them” – Triple H On Top WWE Star’s Haters
During an interview on Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Triple H slammed the people who hate on the current Undisputed WWE Champion:
“I know we touched on it briefly, but the position that you’re in was not easy. And people will tell you sh*t your whole career, ‘nepo baby,’ or whatever. F**k them.
You earned this, and then some. You are one of the most diligent guys in the locker room, wanting it to be right, with no stone unturned. And you think about it nonstop. You’re so engaged in that, and it’s never really just about you. It’s about the company and the product as a whole, which makes you a dream to work with.
I don’t want to sound like I’m talking down to you, but I’m proud of you for gambling on yourself, taking that step that 99.9% of people wouldn’t do to get to where you are. And doing it in a way that every single step of the way you did it the right way, in a way that would make anybody, especially your dad, proud.”
• TKO Lowers WrestleMania 42 Ticket Prices After CM Punk’s Pipebomb
CM Punk just scored a big win for the fans after his unscripted rant on RAW forced TKO to finally lower WrestleMania 42 ticket prices. On this week’s RAW, the World Heavyweight Champion took a shot at how expensive it has become to see WWE live. Since the TKO merger in 2023, prices have skyrocketed, leaving many regular fans priced out of the building.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, TKO reacted almost instantly. For the first time, lower bowl tickets for WrestleMania 42 dropped below $2,000. While they aren’t cheap yet, the fact that they moved the needle at all shows Punk’s comments hit a nerve.
WWE tried to hide the drama by editing the ticket price comment out of the video they posted on X. However, the internet caught them, and the post was slapped with a Community Note calling out the edit.
There is talk behind the scenes that WWE might continue to adjust prices over the next few months.
WWE has confirmed that CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship will main event Night 2 of WrestleMania 42.
