10 WWE Wrestlers With The Triple H STINK

8. Indi Hartwell

Indi Hartwell was NXT Champion when she was called up to the main roster in May 2023, and as if to illustrate the difference between her time on the two shows, she was defeated in her first brand match.

That doesn't tell the entire story of the period - Hartwell was injured just before the call-up and thus had two reasons to surrender the developmental brand's top title, but right in line with the normalisation of Candice LeRae, she was part of the pair's losing effort against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green and it hasn't gotten any better from there.

A Rhea Ripley squash victim like plenty of others, she's graduated (?) from singles defeats to tag ones, and even if the pair end up becoming Champions once more, the main roster belts mean less than the ones they held aloft in NXT.

Once upon a time, WWE was dumb enough for somebody to get a rocket-strapped run out of nowhere. In the era of Triple H's careful plotting, she's in for a long wait.
