10 Reasons Triple H Just Won WWE Royal Rumble 2016

2. The Money

Triple H is already a very rich man, a multi millionaire who has been earning top tier WWE wages for sixteen years. But compare him to someone like Vince McMahon, and he's relatively poor. Money is only ever a matter of perspective, and driven people are always wanting more. No doubt about it, Triple H is as driven as they come. Money is still a great motivator for him. It is a factor in his Rumble win. It earns him a payday, in addition to putting him in a position for the biggest payday of his life. He's now going to be the headline act for the biggest attendance in WWE history. You can bet his pay off for that will be astronomical. And the money issue also plays into WWE's thinking. Triple H is on a million dollar downside, and they want to recoup value on that. By booking him to win the Rumble and headline Mania, they are more than getting a return on his salary.
