Triple H joined Pat McAfee on his show recently. The King of Kings talked about the recent incident McAfee had with former WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole. The two men had a bit of verbal fight after McAfee took a shot at Adam Cole's size.
The Undisputed Era member did not take kindly to the comments and stormed off of the show after laying out a few F-bombs. Triple H apologized on behalf of Adam Cole admitting that he was in the wrong. He also took a jibe at McAfee, who is still under a WWE contract, calling him a 'button pusher'.

"I apologize for Adam coming on your show. He is the nicest guy in the world. He comes on your show, there's an interaction where I believe Adam is being a little overly sensitive and you being Pat McAfee, a professional button pusher. You needle people for a living. I didn't ask him to put out an apology or do anything. He's a grown man responsible for his own actions" (h/t fightful)
The jury is still out on whether the whole thing was real or a work.
