When Triple H uttered those words and compared his Authority stable to his three daughters, it sounded very condescending, but once everyone was in the ring, it was incredible to see everything unfold. Triple H playing the calm yet stern villain trying to keep his volatile team together was interesting to watch. For weeks, weve seen Kane show increasing disdain and now outright hatred for WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, while Rollins arrogant, smarmy heel act is gold. Seeing them yelling across Triple H while he tried to maintain order only drove the point home that even he cant keep these combustible elements from exploding at some point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wchv-3NkxfQ The other interesting dynamic is that this showed that there are some dents in the armor of the Authority. Hunter is loyal to Kane despite Kanes disdain for Rollins, and hes obviously committed to Rollins as champs despite his admission that Seth can be annoying at times. Still, having Triple H on Raw brought a somewhat calming influence to the situation for now.
