At WrestleMania 33, Seth Rollins finally feuded with his old mentor Triple H. There, he avenged Hunter's betrayal during a Universal Title bout in August 2016 by winning a 'Non-Sanctioned' match, but there were cracks appearing in their relationship long before 2016-2017.

You'd have to go back to 2015 for that.

Stephanie McMahon confronted Seth on Raw that September to let him know that he wasn't as good as her husband. Then, WWE followed that up by having Trips himself reveal that Rollins would go one-on-one with Sting at Night Of Champions. Why would 'The Game' do that if he still had Seth's best interests at heart?

Triple H started to lose faith in his protege as early as 2015, and he hammered home his point by hitting a Pedigree on Rollins during that aforementioned Universal Title win for Kevin Owens. His decision to move away from Seth ultimately resulted in both men feuding years later.
