10 WWE Wrestlers With The Triple H STINK

When a very valid argument can be made that Tommaso Ciampa was better off teaming with The Miz in 2022 than his longstanding partner Johnny Gargano in 2023, it's safe to say that former NXT Tag Team Champions DIY have more than a little bit of stink on them.

It's been misstep central for the pair of them separately and together since 'The Game' first dropped them on to Monday Night Raw without considering if the wider WWE audience really cared about NXT several years ago. Or worse, the doldrum pandemic period. Either way, while Hunter didn't have to worry about "what happened when the pops ran out" with most of his programmes, he was snookered with two of his favourites on their respective week twos. A series of losses didn't exactly leave them in fans' good graces either.

Their first Monday Night Raw feud with Imperium concluded (?) with a listless two out of three falls match, and even with a major victory finally notched, a heel turn leaning into their more...irritating quirks feels like the move compared to persevering with them as flat and flavourless babyfaces. Will Triple H park his ego and initiate a reboot, or allow the stink to linger?
