8 Times WWE's Triple H Was A GOD-TIER Booker

8. Kevin Owens Unleashed

Kevin Owens has always been great. Let's get that on the record. Triple H is not solely responsible for 'The Prizefighter's greatness. KO has been giving audiences engaging character work and killer matches, even when having to serve the creative whims of Vince McMahon during his worst years. 

That being said, Kevin Owens's feud with Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at the end of 2024, going into 2025, was some of his career's best work. It's on record that Triple H suggested that Owens should attack Cody outside his tour bus, away from WWE televised programming, and let the internet do its thing in amplifying the incident and cementing his heel turn. It was unconventional, but felt exciting as hell to behold. Fans love feeling like they're peaking behind the curtain of reality, and to play that out in a storyline was a genius move.

From there, Owens took the ball and ran with it. His promos from inside his car, refusing to do them in the arena, were electrifying. His hatred for Cody Rhodes felt real, and his gripes with WWE screwing him out of the world title were easy for fans to understand, because there's always been an underlying feeling that KO is one of the most under-appreciated people on WWE's roster.
