Triple H Articles - Page 2

Before Triple H was the CCO of WWE, married to Stephanie McMahon, or a multi-time WWE World Champion, he was a member of the most popular backstage faction, The Kliq, which featured babyfaces and heels who hung out together in an act of clear Kayfabe rebellion. Now, at the time, fans didn’t really know about […]

As things presently stand, the WWE Universe is in a very good spot, with the promotion as hot as ever and fans very happy with the creative direction Paul “Triple H” Levesque has forged, even if there are the occasional missteps along the way. Ticket sales are up, sell-outs are almost weekly, and with a […]

As crazy as it may sound now, what with being one of the premier professional wrestlers in the world today, there was a time when Swerve Strickland just couldn’t seem to find his footing as a member of the WWE Universe. Initially starting things off as a singles guy, Strickland worked on his character, worked […]

Fanatics Fest 2024 had no shortage of star power. I got to interact on the Blue Carpet with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment including (bleeping) Jay-Z, Kevin Durant, Lil Wayne, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady, Triple H, Livvy Dunne, Adrian Peterson, Dez Bryant and more! Here are some of my favorite moments […]

Triple H has an incredible car collection. Also known as Paul Levesque, Triple H is one of the greatest WWE wrestlers of all time. Although he has now been retired from professional wrestling, Triple H continues to make an impact in the WWE as the chief content officer with creative control of WWE. Given Triple […]

In the lead-up to Bad Blood, one of the questions WWE had to grapple with on social media regarded their lack of representation on the PLE. You see, despite taking place in Atlanta, a city that has one of the largest Black populations in the country, the promotion didn’t have a single African American Superstar […]

It happened, WWE fans, it happened: after practically posting a link to the show on his IG with all of the hints he was passing out, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made his triumphant return at WWE Bad Blood. But what did he do? Did he take out the new Bloodline and side with Roman Reigns, […]

After announcing on social media and during the Bad Blood broadcast that CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque was going to make a major announcement during the show, the WWE Universe began to theorize about what it could be. A women’s mid-card title? A Trios Championship? Or maybe something to do with NXT, now that it’s […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, most fans believe WWE is the pinnacle. Sure, there’s AEW, which is about to sign a media rights deal worth close to a billion dollars between Warner Brothers Discovery and Fox and other, smaller promotions like TNA, New Japan Pro Wrestling, ICW, CMLL, AAA, and beyond, but even if […]

Ever since WWE opted to release Hit Row – Swerve Strickland, Top Dolla, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and B-Fab – from their contracts back in 2021, a small but vocal segment of the fanbase clamored to see the group return to the promotion at full strength, especially once Paul “Triple H” Levesque officially rose to power […]

After handing Joel Embiid a brand new three-year, $193 million contract extension, excitement for the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25  is at an all-time high. The team signed Paul George to a massive max contract, secured quality roleplayers like Caleb Martin, Kelly Oubre, and Andre Drummond, and, on September 27th, they brought on Embiid’s attitudinal inspiration, WWE […]

So why, you may wonder, has John “Bradshaw” Layfield, or  JBL for short, been, well, everywhere in the professional wrestling world as of late, appearing in AAA, MLW, TNA, GCW, and beyond over the past few months? Well, as he noted on Huge Pop, it’s because after watching his angle with Baron Corbin go from […]

WWE in 2024 is a very different place than at any point in the promotion’s history, and not just because Cody Rhodes finally became the Undisputed Universal Champion. The promotion is not only very popular with its wrestlers but in free agency at large, with big-name free agents like Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, the Lucha Brothers, […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over for Vince McMahon as the new creative lead of the WWE Universe, becoming the CCO of the promotion in September of 2022, the changes came swiftly and with incredible fanfare. Suddenly, RAW and SmackDown had more wrestling with fewer camera cuts, matches actually had finishes, and the promotion’s […]

When CM Punk’s initial run in the WWE Universe came to an end, it felt like the system had won. Widely celebrated for being the “Voice of the Voiceless,” a hero to the hardcore fans who missed the WWE they grew up on, Punk fought the system at every turn, went to bat against the […]

With WWE off of Peacock for the next few weeks as fans experience the rare month without a PLE, Drew McIntyre took to the ring on RAW to celebrate his recent beatdown of the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, who hasn’t been seen on television since. On paper, this was pretty textbook stuff for […]

When it comes to having success under both of WWE’s 21st-century bookers, few performers hold a candle to Drew McIntyre. Originally brought into WWE as Vince McMahon’s “Chosen One,” McIntyre won both of his WWE World Championships under the former Chairman of the Board and was given the tough ask of being the face of […]

For the longest time, there has been a widely circulated unofficial beef between MVP and Triple H, with many using the actions of the former to accuse the latter of being racist. Now granted, MVP has brought much of that on himself, liking posts and subtweeting the WWE CCO for how he’s treated the Hurt […]

For much of Scott D’Amore’s time at TNA/Impact, WWE was the enemy. Sure, TNA still employed former WWE stars, watched their own talent leave for the promotion, and, on occasion, welcomed said talent back when things didn’t work out, but when it came to actually dealing with the top name in Sports Entertainment, it was […]

When it comes to Paul Heyman, he doesn’t really think about The Bloodline’s storyline in terms of the PLE schedule, the calendar year, or even title lengths but instead through the lens of a baseball game, with each chapter of the storyline viewed instead as an inning for the native New Yorker. Now granted, this […]

After being one of the top stars in WWE during the final act of the Vince McMahon era, it would appear Bobby Lashley’s run in WWE is about to come to an end, with the “All Mighty’s” contract set to expire before fans can say AEW All In. But why? What happened? How did Lashley […]

When John Cena announced at Money in the Bank that he was calling it a career and officially finishing his WWE run with a retirement tour across the globe in 2025, it got fans in their feelings. Sure, Cena hasn’t exactly been an active wrestler in years, with 2024 having more matches by “The Champ” […]

When Bryan Danielson took a loss to Roman Reigns in a Universal Championship versus Career match on the May 30th, 2021 edition of SmackDown, it effectively marked the end of the “American Dragon’s” run in WWE. Sure, Danielson was still technically under contract for a few more days after the match and theoretically could have […]

With 2:03 left to play in the second quarter of Team USA’s Quarter Final game against Brazil, Joel Embiid went up for the putback attempt on a miss by Jayson Tatum, and as so often happens any time “The Process” goes for a score, he was met with contact and was awarded the and-1 for […]

After overseeing a successful running of SummerSlam in one of the biggest venues the show has ever occupied, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took questions from reporters about the card, his wife, and… TNA wrestling? That’s right, while most wanted to know about Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Stephanie McMahon, the logistics of the TNA-NXT partnership […]

Will Brock Lesnar return to the WWE after being linked to the Vince McMahon lawsuit? Triple H is not sure but seems to have left the door open for the Beast Incarnate. Speaking to Mail Sport in London, England, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was asked “how close” Lesnar is to returning. “You’d have to ask […]

After being one of the true focal points of the final Vine McMahon era, rumor has it that Bobby Lashley and his former manager, MVP, are set to exit the WWE Universe later this year. Now to some, the idea of Lashley leaving WWE feels borderline unthinkable, as he’s a lock for the Hall of […]

When it comes to professional wrestlers in WWE right now, few active performers have the resume of Finn Balor. One-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions alongside his protege, JD McDonagh, Balor has wrestled all over the world, founded Bullet Club in New Japan, and holds the distinction of being the first-ever WWE Universal Champion, […]

After weeks and weeks of back-and-forth banter, the idea of the feud between LA Knight and Logan Paul ending in a qualification match for Money in the Bank felt like a borderline impossibility. Sure, Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton were included in the angle, too, which certainly made the match a memorable effort indeed, but […]

When John Cena formally announced that he was retiring from professional wrestling during a surprise segment in the middle of Money in the Bank, it sent shockwaves through the professional wrestling world. Fans quickly pulled up the announced WWE schedule to find their closest chance to catch “The Champ” in the ring once more, pundits […]

With John Cena’s retirement from professional wrestling officially announced for December of 2025, fans, wrestlers, and even the CCO of WWE, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, have been getting nostalgic about “The Face That Runs the Place” and his storied career. Discussing the 16-time champion’s decision to say goodbye and his overall impact on the business […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque went out to the Money in the Bank post-show press conference to discuss WWE’s latest Premium Live Event, there was one question – other than about John Cena’s retirement -he just had to know was going to be asked by a member of the media in attendance: why didn’t Damian […]

For months and months, WWE fans have been sitting around waiting patiently for the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson-produced documentary, eventually named WrestleMania XL: Behind The Curtain. Since the project was initially announced, the concept seemed rather cool; The Rock had his own camera crew follow him around over the course of his return to WWE […]

While Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton may have earned all of the headlines for their shocking interaction in the middle of Logan Paul’s qualifying match with LA Knight – and Santos Escobar – for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, they weren’t the only fixtures of ESPN who made it out […]

As the current WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes is the defacto face of the promotion. Sure, technically, his belt is on par with Damian Priest’s, and he should be treated as such, but nobody save the Priest family actually believes that, as it’s the “American Nightmare” who goes out and does the media appearances, grants Make-A-Wish […]

Since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over the WWE Universe and officially became the promotion’s new CCO, there have been a ton of new additions to the promotion, some of them familiar faces, some of them charismatic former college athletes, and others still who worked their way up the ranks of the indies until they […]

On the fallout edition of Monday Night RAW after Clash at the Castle, Chad Gable was seemingly… unalived by Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sick6 with what many fans assumed was a bullet wound to the head. Fans mourned the former leader of Alpha Academy, joked about Otis getting away with a serious crime, and […]

After taking a ridiculous loss at Clash at the Castle due to a brutal mix of outside interference, back luck, and the ill intentions of CM Punk, going so far as to put hands on the match’s referee and announcer, Corey Graves, once the cameras stopped rolling in his college town of Glasgow, Scotland, Drew […]

When Chad Gable broke the news on Gorilla Position just before the start of Clash at the Castle that he’d re-signed with WWE ahead of his contract expiring, it added a sense of excitement to the Glasgow-based Premium Live Event. Would Gable defeat Sami Zayn and become the new Intercontinental Champion, adding a new title […]
