Triple H Confronts Cody Rhodes Backstage

Triple H went up to Cody Rhodes backstage before his WrestleMania 38 match with Seth Rollins.

 


 

“Everyone kept asking me all day, ‘what do you expect?’ Of course, I was hoping (the crowd) would be happy, at least, ‘yay, boo,’ some sort of energy and feeling. I didn’t want to put any expectations on it and I never looked out there. I never walked the ramp, never got to see the crowd. Coming up on that lift was the first time I saw the grandeur, the showcase of immortals, all the things that WrestleMania is.

A feeling that I’ll chase for the rest of my life. If we never get another one, as a wrestler it’s always, ‘I have to get another, what am I doing next year?’ If I don’t get another one, I feel so vindicated. To go from nowhere on the card and no desire to have me and no priority, and that’s not a knock on anybody, to go out in the wilderness and try everything I could to make noise and change our business, pro wrestling, sports entertainment, whatever you want to call it. I felt like they appreciated it and I appreciated them.” he said.

Triple H is currently the COO of WWE and he is also a veteran in the world of professional wrestling and sports entertainment, having competed in several great matches and countless memorable moments during his time as an active in-ring competitor in the company. ‘The Game’ would in addition go on to win countless championships during his time as an active competitor in the WWE including a multi-time WWE Champion and WWE World Heavyweight Champion.Triple H’s offer to buy a pro wrestling company was also previously revealed. 

Back in 2018 Triple H was still in charge of NXT and developing the brand in a way that fit his vision of what a pro wrestling brand should be like. For a very long time, Triple H’s vision bore fruit as NXT put on incredible matches and events for several years, often outclassing anything put out by the main roster in WWE.
Triple H has also been away from WWE television for a long time after suffering a very deadly health crisis. The Game recently announced that he has retired from in-ring competition for good after almost losing his life.
The Cerebral Assassin also recently surprised WWE talent with an emotional appearance during a backstage meeting. Kevin Owens recently spoke with Metro, where he discussed Triple H’s surprise meeting. Owens said that Triple H revealed everything about his health issues and also gave them some advice.

“Triple H, we hadn’t seen him in so long. Yesterday, we had a talent meeting. He came back after not seeing everybody for a long time and he spoke about everything that he’s been through. The message he had was, ‘Take the time to enjoy this.

Man, that resonated, but I’d already tried to frame myself that way for the last little while. It changes everything, once you change your perspective on things.”
