In the main event of WWE Night Of Champions 2011 PPV, Triple H defeated CM Punk. The stipulation of the match was: “Had Triple H lost, he would have resigned as the COO of WWE”.
This main event was originally scheduled to be Kevin Nash taking on Punk, but plan got changed later.
During an episode of his ‘Kliq This’ podcast, Nash revealed why Triple H changed the plan and decided to beat Punk:
“It’s funny now that Vince (McMahon) has taken a backseat in this whole thing, I see Paul (Levesque aka Triple H), like, he owns it now.
He has ownership of that company as far as when they say he’s creative. His demeanor, his pacing, I mean, he is in complete control of that situation.
There’s never been anybody of his talent in the ring. I mean, when he was with us, we were all ruthless and we were all very driven for our success. It’s such a different Paul now.
I know that when I was supposed to wrestle Punk, you know, he just got under Triple H’s skin so bad.
Paul just came up to me and just said. ‘I’m going to beat him. You’re not gonna wrestle him. I’m beating him.’ I’m like, ‘Cool’.
That’s why me and Punk never wrestled. He’s said, ‘I gotta beat this f**ker.'”
