10 Times Triple H Actually Made Legit WWE Stars

10. Ronda Rousey

Triple H Ronda Rousey WrestleMania 34

This is the most recent example, and the quirkiest.

WrestleMania 34's mixed tag match was one of the best in WWE history. In it, Triple H sold like a champ for ex-UFC bad ass Ronda Rousey like he was determined to put her over as the most dangerous human on the entire planet. It worked too - Rousey, in her debut match, came across as someone who could beat anybody.

After making Trips her bitch and treating Stephanie McMahon like her own personal rag doll, Ronda came out of 'Mania with serious momentum. She looked ready to become one of the top stars in the company, and that's because the much-maligned power couple did everything they could to make her.

Rousey's debut match was so good, and Triple H sold so convincingly for her during it, that she was a made woman in just one night. Never underestimate how easy it would've been for 'The Game' to say he shouldn't sell for Ronda and leave that for his wife whilst he exclusively battled Kurt Angle.
