Triple H No More Untouchable At Backstage Of WWE NXT

Triple H is undoubtedly considered as the second head-honcho for the WWE management after the Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon. However, things did change a lot over the last couple of years where Nick Khan, the WWE President gained a lot more power and reportedly is the one who is selecting talents to be released due to the COVID-19 budget cuts.

According to the Wrestling Observer, Triple H’s backstage power in WWE has been decreased to some extent. It has been affected in a negative way due to NXT losing the Wednesday Night War against AEW Dynamite. Both the shows used to air on Wednesday nights but now NXT has been shifted to Tuesday Nights to retain their ratings.

Triple H is being pointed out to be the responsible one who has failed to stop AEW’s rise on Wednesday nights. His guilt is doubled since he has full control over the NXT product, unlike the main roster. Also, it’s been noted that some WWE Officials are legit trying to play backstage politics to hurt The Game’s influence.

NXT employees scared of Triple H?

Some of them do feel that Triple H would fire them if he ever takes charge of the WWE after Vince McMahon,

“It’s largely based on what was said to be a new company directive for the product and a behind-the-scenes power struggle involving those who fear for their positions if and when [Paul] Levesque takes over and thus want to undermine him, and those who support Levesque.

Levesque had been thought to be untouchable, but in failing to stop AEW’s rise, and eventually losing the war, it gave both his detractors and those who felt he would replace them the obvious ammunition.”

During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the recent cuts from NXT which also indicated that a larger change in philosophy for NXT is coming ahead. He noted that Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis were behind the NXT cuts along with McMahon while Triple H and Shawn Michaels had no sayings behind these releases.

It was specifically mentioned that NXT lost the “Wednesday Night War” to AEW, and now the goal for the black-and-yellow brand is to go back to the older style of developmental with bigger and younger guys. Perhaps, the brand could change similar to the original format of NXT back in 2010. Meltzer noted that people in WWE are all fighting for McMahon’s ear while Triple H might just be a spectator in all of these.
