Triple H's actions hurting WWE (Reports)

Triple H's actions are reportedly hurting WWE. The Game is the Chief Content Officer of the sports entertainment giant and has come under fire for some of his creative decisions lately.

However, there is now a concern within the company over his shifting priorities that have taken his attention away from WWE.

Triple H has made quite a few visits to the White House recently, meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. The WWE icon was invited to a bill signing to restore the Presidential Fitness Test a few months ago. Last month, he paid a visit to the White House again with his wife, Stephanie McMahon as Trump signed an executive order to employ artificial intelligence (AI) for childhood cancer research.

According to a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), HHH has missed some recent WWE shows, leading to people within WWE believing that his political priorities have "started to hurt the company."

The report adds that one person close to the Cerebral Assassin has dismissed this claim, noting that he has not missed any creative meetings and his schedule is all worked out "in advance."


Triple H was called out for not being a "pro"

WWE's CCO's booking has divided fans recently. Former WWE writer Vince Russo has been a major critic of Triple H's booking and recently called him out after a major botch on SmackDown.

A couple of weeks ago, Tiffany Stratton defended her Women's Title against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill on the blue brand in a Triple Threat match. Stratton ended up retaining the Championship, but the match went viral for the botched finish, which saw the referee stop the count, despite no kickout by Jax.

On his The Brand podcast, Vince Russo blasted the finish and said they were not pros.

"We're not watching pros. These people are not freaking pros because think about how ridiculous this is. Regardless of what these idiots are telling her in Gorilla, and freaking Triple H ain't a freaking pro. He's not a freaking pro either," Russo said.

Sherjeel Malik

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
