9. Working His Project
Triple H believes he is the master of a new generation, and he hasn't been shy in letting the world know what he's done with NXT. He sees himself as the Michelangelo of professional wrestling, with the likes of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns being his masterpieces. In truth, his subjects always had strong attributes for the business. In winning the Royal Rumble and getting the WrestleMania main event, he knows he can truly complete his vision of making the next star. He had to win the WWE Title in the Rumble, so that he can then give it to Roman Reigns, allowing himself to take credit for making WWE's next massive franchise. And the fact is, it would have been Hunter's boy Seth Rollins in that Reigns spot if he hadn't got injured. Again, it is about legacy for Triple H and how he'll be viewed in history. Reigns going over Lesnar would have meant more, but Hunter needs to be seen as the creator. It is his project.
