10 Upcoming Triple H Moves That Will Shock WWE Fans
7. Taking The FUN Out Of Fundamentals
NXT was transformed to the multi-coloured (and occasionally inspired) monstrosity of 2.0 to specifically separate it from Triple H's worst impulses.
The end of the black-and-gold era found Hunter swallowed up by his over-indulgence. Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly were wrestling to diminished returns and increased disinterest, the Capitol Wrestling Center never looked worse than when it was contrasting renewed full houses in the summer of 2021, and loads of Performance Center trainees were stuck as stand-ins and fake security guards rather than breaking through to the weekly rotation.
It was way more untenable than people realised, and much of 2.0's absurdity has highlighted what a Sports Entertainment developmental brand actually required. The prodigal son-in-law taking over at the very top may yet cause another pivot, but the last 12 months of insanity and in Orlando will hopefully remind him that putting windscreen wipers on facd guards during Sgt Slaughter promos was just as integral as The Game-uh's rugged intensity when it came to climbing WWE's greasy pole.
