10 Wild Predictions For What Triple H's WWE Will Look Like In 5 Years

...will be called WrestleMania XLIII for starters, because based on the reveal of 2024's WrestleMania logo, Triple H doesn't have Vince McMahon's weird problems with roman numerals or the show getting its age back.

'The Game' revealed this quirk long before he'd taken WWE's top job in fact. Ahead of NXT being taken away from him and reimagined after a ratings war humbling at the hands of All Elite Wrestling, the black-and-gold brand attempted a back-to-basics approach as a disparate 2020 limped on.

An October TakeOver featuring a gritty - too gritty if anything - NXT Championship bout between Finn Bálor and Kyle O'Reilly was simply titled "32", in what felt like a veiled dig at McMahon himself considering that WrestleMania 31 was the first to lose the numeric convention underneath it.

Paul Levesque has enjoyed kudos for having wrestlers call themselves wrestlers and the gradual reintroduction of first names for the likes of Matt Riddle and Austin Theory, and a return to branding people earnestly cherish will afford him yet another victory lap regardless of who he books on the actual card.
