Wrestling Observer head Dave Meltzer has claimed that Triple H is getting some heat behind the scenes at WWE due to changing creative plans heading into WrestleMania 42. Further, WWE/TKO are slightly concerned about a lower than expected advance on ticket sales for both nights in Las Vegas as things stand.

Meltzer likened this to the kind of pressure Vince McMahon was under internally for decades, so it's certainly nothing new, but it is something to keep a close eye on. Recently, there had been rumours of unrest between 'The Game' and top star Roman Reigns as WWE hopes to get the party hats out and celebrate another money-spinning 'Mania in Vegas.

Of course, a lot of that should be taken with the usual pinch of salt - not many actually know what's said behind closed doors in the company, or if there's any substantial frost between Hunter and Roman. Plus, at time of writing, Reigns is locked in to work opposite CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title during the bumper April weekender.

He won January's Royal Rumble over in Saudi Arabia, which exorcised demons hanging over from his last Rumble triumph back in 2015.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this write up from Meltzer is word that 'Mania 42's advance ticket sales aren't as high as WWE management hoped they would be. Nobody who has tried to buy tickets to the promotion's shows since TKO took over needs reminded that the prices remain absurdly high.

Again, this is definitely something to pay attention to as we creep closer to Vegas.
