A seasoned wrestling veteran has recently voiced harsh criticism toward WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, questioning his creative decisions and accusing him of being entangled in internal political battles behind the scenes.
On a recent episode of The Coach & Bro Show, former WWE head writer and ex-WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vince Russo criticized Triple H's current run as the head of WWE creative. Russo pointed out major creative lapses, including the absence of Cody Rhodes from WWE television following his WrestleMania defeat. He also expressed confusion over why El Grande Americano was not featured on the Cinco de Mayo edition of Monday Night RAW, viewing it as another missed opportunity for fan engagement.
👀Triple H Accused of Backstage Power Struggles
According to the 64-year-old Russo, Triple H is allegedly consumed with backstage political maneuvering. He claims WWE's leadership is now divided into two factions — Team Triple H and Team The Rock. Russo believes this behind-the-scenes tension is impacting the quality of WWE's weekly programming.
"I think part of the problem is Triple H right now is involved in political warfare. I really believe that. There's a Triple H camp and a Rock camp. Triple H is focused on protecting his position, and you can’t do that while being head of creative. The creative is slipping as a result,” Russo stated.
😳Jonathan Coachman Compares Triple H to Vince McMahon
In a previous episode of The Coach & Bro Show, former interim RAW General Manager Jonathan Coachman shared his insights on Triple H’s mindset. Coachman suggested that The Game may be feeling pressure to secure his role amidst alleged internal power plays.
He even drew a parallel between Triple H and Vince McMahon, saying both are driven by an unmatched passion for the wrestling business.
“I once asked Vince McMahon on his private jet, ‘Why do you still attend every show even though you’re a billionaire?’ He told me, ‘Because this is my purpose — I built this.’ Triple H has that same mentality. This business is his life.”
😳Speculation on Triple H’s Relationship with Vince McMahon
Vince Russo also touched on Triple H’s current dynamic with his father-in-law Vince McMahon. Despite past tensions, Russo believes their relationship is not as complicated as it may appear, hinting at a mutual understanding or alignment behind the scenes.
Conclusion: Is WWE Creative in Crisis Under Triple H?
As the backstage rumors swirl and fan criticism grows, questions are rising about Triple H’s creative leadership in WWE. With big names absent and key opportunities missed, many are watching closely to see if The Game can refocus and deliver compelling storytelling — or if internal politics will continue to derail WWE’s creative momentum
