10 Worst Things Vince McMahon Has Ever Done To Triple H

That aforementioned quiet demotion seemed to act as the first crack in the once solid assumption that The Game would one day be the person to take over from Vince McMahon.

But it was the speed in which Vinnie Mac and his cronies opted to dismantle Triple H's black and gold baby which really hammered home the fact that the boss had lost faith in the one-time heir to the WWE throne.

With September 2021 also seeing Trips suddenly being forced to step away from running NXT due to a life-threatening cardiac event, his absence brought with it the killing of the developmental brand Papa H had dedicated himself to forging and the birth of all things 2.0.

And if that often painful revamp in the wake of The Game losing the Wednesday Night War wasn't a difficult enough pill for Levesque to swallow, the sacking of many of his backstage allies sent a loud and clear message that Vince wasn't at all interested in handing the keys to the kingdom over to his sidelined son-in-law anymore.

Again, HHH ultimately set about undoing many of those demoralising developments after unexpectedly making a comeback as the new head of creative post-Vince exit in disgrace. But you still wouldn't put it past the returning Chairman to overrule the death of 2.0 and rehiring of The Game's mates out of sheer spite at some point down the road, would you?
