10 WWE Wrestlers Triple H SAVED In 2022

1. GUNTHER

Reportedly, Vince McMahon was so unhappy with a minor backstage segment on the 4 July edition of Raw that he wanted to sent GUNTHER packing back to NXT. Yes, the old boss was ready to totally give up on the current Intercontinental Champion and all-round wrestling machine just like that.

Thankfully, Triple H looks at GUNTHER differently. He recognises what the big Austrian brings to the table as a physical marvel, and he sees value in his stoic 'Ring General' character. Still, Hunter's word might not have been enough to save GUNTHER from tumbling back down the ladder had McMahon postponed his retirement.

Think about that: Vince would've discarded the guy without a second thought. That would've meant no blistering series of matches vs. Sheamus, no excellent bout vs. Rey Mysterio and no lengthy IC Title reign full stop. Perish the thought!
