WWE Champion Dean Ambrose picked up some backstage heat from his recent “Stone Cold Podcast” with Steve Austin on the WWE Network, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The heat didn’t come from any of Ambrose’s answers, avoiding questions or for any of the awkward moments during the interview, but because he was being negative on creative and being negative on creative means being negative on Triple H and Vince McMahon.
Officials also were not happy about Ambrose publicly talking about how Brock Lesnar didn’t want to do anything for their match at WrestleMania 32.

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin talked to Triple H on the Stone Cold Podcast after last night’s RAW on the WWE Network.
Austin mentioned the controversy surrounding the Royal Rumble. Austin said it seems like kayfabe is dead and asked Triple h how hard it is to book with that. Triple H said it’s rough and mentioned the different component that is the internet and how fans quickly see when the company gets behind someone. Triple H talked about how some places were booing Roman Reigns out of the building because they think that’s the push he’s getting but nobody booed him at this weekend’s live events. Austin said some fans feel that Reigns hasn’t earned the push yet. Triple H said Vince McMahon is the one guy who is calling the shots. Triple H said the Rumble was talked over and debated. Vince takes all those ideas and puts them together. Triple H said nobody is perfect and that Vince doesn’t always make the right call but has a pretty good track record.
Austin talked to Triple H about the Seth Rollins VS Daniel Bryan match from last night’s RAW. Austin brought up the resentment for Reigns. Triple H said it’s a tough environment and mentioned how half the people will boo John Cena while the other half would cheer but he is still selling out arenas. Triple H said it’s hard to find the star that every single person likes. Austin said he hasn’t seen the Twitter feedback yet but he believes that RAW may have quelled some of the resentment towards Reigns. Austin said Reigns shined and what he did at the end of RAW helped him. Austin said he needed that and Triple H agreed. Triple H said people say all the time that Reigns isn’t ready and Triple said nobody is really ready for that. Triple H said you think you know what it means to be the guy until you get there and put a whole different world of pressure on yourself.
Austin said people want to know Triple h’s thought’s about CM Punk and mentioned Punk’s podcast comments on Triple H. Triple H laughed and that hey were cool. Triple H said he has never had any beef with Punk. Triple H said Punk held a grudge over some things not working out. Triple H said Punk is a weird guy and he doesn’t mean that in a bad way. Triple H talked about how it was hard to communicate or get to know Punk. Triple H said people would tell him that Punk was livid and about to quit but he would go ask what’s wrong and Punk would act calm and say everything is cool. Austin asked if Punk can come back to WWE. Triple H said if it’s best and what the fans want then he hopes they can get past it. Triple H said he regrets that they couldn’t get past the other stuff.
Austin asked about the contact status of Brock Lesnar. Triple H said they’re constantly talking to Brock and it comes down to what Brock wants to do. Austin asked if The Streak should have been broken or should have it remained. Triple H said that’s a debate and he doesn’t know. He can understand the value in both ways.
Austin asked if Triple H could change one thing about RAW what would it be. Triple H said if anything, it would be back to two hours. He said the third hour of TV is so hard to write that he can’t even describe it. Triple H said the three hours is Vince’s call and a finance call. Triple H said he would like to the Divas get more time and attention. Austin mentioned the NXT Divas. Triple H said they have a lot of women that watch the product.
Austin asked when Triple H will return to the ring. Triple H said he doesn’t want to give anything away but it’s coming.
