WWE’s Wade Barrett Fires Back at Triple H and CM Punk After Clash at the Castle

One Big Thing

Despite an earlier angry rant, WWE commentator Wade Barrett kicked back up again after the press conference portion of the WWE Clash at the Castle post-show, taking aim at both Triple H and CM Punk.

What Barrett Said

Barrett expressed his disappointment with Triple H’s comments about CM Punk, saying:

“To have the leader of this industry, the leader of WWE, a man who I’ve consistently respected, Triple H, come out and answer these issues with quotes like, ‘I’m happy to have Phil Brooks back’, ‘This is the Phil Brooks I wanna see’, ‘Thrilled and excited to work with him’, and here’s the real kicker, ‘Thank you CM Punk for helping change the culture behind the scenes at WWE’.

“I cannot respect any of that. That is nonsense. The man is poison. It’s BS.”

Co-Panelists Disagree

However, fellow panelist Jackie Redmond clarified that she and Big E didn’t share the same heated sentiments as Barrett.

Why It Matters

The heated exchange suggests that WWE may be teasing a potential interaction between Wade Barrett and CM Punk on this Friday’s episode of SmackDown in Chicago.

CM Punk’s Plans

In a surprise press conference appearance, CM Punk confirmed he would not be appearing on WWE Raw in Corpus Christi on Monday. Instead, he plans to visit his doctors before appearing at SmackDown this Friday in Chicago, where he hopes to share a positive medical update.
