10 Secret Messages Wrestlers Sent

10. Triple H Has A Moment Of Madness On Twitter

The relationship between Triple H and Vince McMahon became fascinating, post-NXT.

Prior to that, it felt like they shared the same mind. Triple H did more to put over the hulking Batista than anybody else, he was bang up for burying Daniel Bryan in 2013, and he and Vince shared the same, puerile sense of humour.

And then Triple H committed the cardinal sin: in a bid to get over by osmosis, he started promoting shorter pro wrestlers and actually pleasing the marks.

Vince appeared to be more disgusted with his heir by the month as the 2010s faded; half-hearted debuts on the RAW after WrestleMania evolved into Vince carelessly plugging in a total of 10 wrestlers from NXT across January and February 2019. It was clear then that Vince had lost complete faith in the process. He didn't want stars - he didn't think Triple H was capable of building stars - he just wanted bodies under the pretence of refreshing a product so rotten that he had to apologise for how sh*tty it was in December '18.

Triple H must have been frustrated, we all thought. And he was; in May 2019, he was caught on Twitter liking posts critical of McMahon in a telling, passive-aggressive secret hint towards his frustration.

At this stage of his corporate career, he had been sent a grapefruit basket and was spitting out the seeds.
