10 Reasons Why 2022 Is Already Wrestling's Most Insane Year EVER

4. The Ongoing Triple H/NXT/WWE Mystery

Holy sh*t.

Nobody really knows what the relationship between Vince McMahon and Triple H is like other than them and a few other peeps close to the pair. However, it's clear that something is amiss behind the scenes in WWE when it comes to 'The Game', and his future plans are anyone's guess.

Vince scooped Hunter's' baby out from underneath him. NXT was once Hunter's territory, but not anymore - it's been rebranded as NXT 2.0 and has become another plaything for McMahon. The days of NXT being that corporatised counter-culture pro wrestling movement with the cult-like following? Yep, that's all in the past.

Rumours have even started up that Triple H would consider fleeing the WWE nest and going elsewhere. Who knows if there's any truth to that, but the fact it's even being discussed at all when he's part of company furniture is insane.

Fingers crossed the man gets healthy ASAP and can refocus, because all of this uncertainty can't be easy.
