Triple H has always been in a position of power in WWE over the last decade. However, he may decide to leave finally, thanks to The Rock fulfilling his warning and pressuring him.
At the WrestleMania 40 press event, from the perspective of the Anoa’i Family, things went wrong. The Rock had returned and was going to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania, with Cody Rhodes mysteriously stepping aside. However, Rhodes didn’t oblige. Instead, he interrupted them and announced his intention to face Reigns for the WWE Universal title.
The Rock insulted Rhodes and brought up his father, in reply to which the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner also brought up The Rock’s ancestors – something the Brahma Bull didn’t take well. He slapped Rhodes, ending proceedings there. On the way out of the arena with Roman Reigns, he stopped to address Triple H and warned him to fix the situation, or he would fix it himself – a clear warning.
However, Triple H is not someone who takes a warning lying down. He was furious and made it clear on the following SmackDown that he didn’t take orders from anyone about how things happened in WWE. He was the only one making the decisions that mattered in the company.
