It's obvious that Triple H is excited by the NXT brand, even more so because audiences have been very receptive to the men and women performing during the UK tour. For 'The Game', this means that the brand has a bright future, something which will - in his eyes - only help the main roster in the future. Triple H didn't dominate TakeOver: London, but his fleeting appearance was welcome. The lights went up right at the start of the show and the crowd popped to see him. His promo wasn't especially long, but it didn't need to be. Triple H wanted to put across the point that NXT is a show for wrestling fans, and he did that expertly. There were some grumblings on social media about the fact he even showed up at all, considering what happened at TLC just days before. On that show, Triple H was battered by Roman Reigns at the end of the event. Here, he looked fresh, but at least he mentioned what had happened. Maybe some will feel that this segment should have been skipped completely, but it kicked NXT off in the right manner. The fans were excited to see the man, and his impassioned words set the tone for the wrestlers to steal the show.
