#5 Triple H and Shawn Michaels raised concerns after Survivor Series 2006
At Survivor Series 2006, CM Punk teamed with Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy to defeat Edge, Johnny Nitro, Mike Knox, Gregory Helms and Randy Orton in a traditional five-on-five elimination match.
Bruce revealed that both Michaels and Triple H went on to raise concerns about their tag partner to WWE management, with HBK describing him as “unclean” and HHH claiming he “resembled a waffle house cook”.
Surprisingly, the comments from the veterans worked in Punk’s favour, according to Bruce, as some within the company felt the need to take Punk more seriously when two more senior performers went out of their way to criticise him.
