Call For Triple H’s WWE Firing Over Brock Lesnar’s Booking

Triple H again fell under heavy criticism following Brock Lesnar’s WWE return.

The Beast Incarnate returned to the Stamford-based company after a few years of absence at SummerSlam 2025. He has since competed in only three matches, squashing John Cena at Wrestlepalooza and leading his team to victory in the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series, in addition to the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble.

After going on hiatus for a few weeks, Lesnar appeared on last Monday’s RAW to issue an open challenge for a match at this year’s WrestleMania.

Ex-WWE Writer Goes Off On Triple H & His Creative Team

Speaking on his The Brand podcast, former WWE head writer Vince Russo discussed Brock Lesnar’s appearance on RAW and his open challenge.

The wrestling veteran slammed Triple H’s team of writers for having no creative plans for The Beast Incarnate, claiming they should all be fired.

So now here we are. How many weeks away is WrestleMania? … WrestleMania is five weeks away…whatever. Let’s give them eight weeks. Let’s give them two extra weeks. It doesn’t matter. Here we are, bro. And they don’t have an opponent for Brock Lesnar. He’s going to do the open challenge.

When I hear open challenge, bro, and I’m a casual fan, here’s the first thing I’m saying. When I hear open challenge, the first thing in my mind is, ‘Oh bro, it’s going to be the goof that accepted Randy Orton’s open challenge… what’s his name again?’ … Joe Henry.

Well, the last time they did this, if I’m a casual fan and I’m tuning in, Joe Henry answered the call. So they’re going back to that same well again. And any casual fan who saw the last time is sitting there saying, ‘Oh, who’s it going to be this time?’ They’re just absolutely clueless.

Bro, if you don’t have an opponent and a program for Brock Lesnar going into WrestleMania, every single person in that freaking room needs to be fired.

They came up with the best they had — open challenge for six different shows upcoming that he’s booked for. So who are the marquee, who’s it going to be matches? And there’ll be a comedy one, there’ll be a serious one, there’ll be a nostalgia one. It’s just for the pops, like opening a present. That’s what it is. Who’s in the mystery box?
