Triple H was offered a major SummerSlam match years ago, and sadly he turned it down.
‘Big Show’ Paul Wight is a veteran when it comes to the world of professional wrestling, having given more than twenty years of his life to working in WWE. Shortly after the SummerSlam 2013 pay-per-view, Paul Wight was engaged in a feud with The Authority.
While Wight and The Authority’s leader Triple H had many altercations, the two never squared off inside the squared circle in a singles match around this time. It seems there was a reason for that. Paul Wight recently spoke on Talk Is Jericho, where Wight said WWE fans would have been invested in a match against himself and Triple H at a WWE pay-per-view.
However, Triple H apparently did not want to face him in a match.
“The whole angle with Hunter [Triple H] that one time, the fans went crazy because Hunter and I got into a big look on the ramp when they [The Authority] were running the company and all that stuff and scr*wing the guys over. Just off a look the fans wanted to see it. So we built that up and all that, and it never turned into a match. Hunter didn’t want to wrestle me at SummerSlam, didn’t want to put me over at a pay-per-view. ‘There’s not going to be a match. You get to knock me out and that’s the end of it.’ And that’s what happened.”
