Triple H Criticized Over Mistreatment Of Major WWE Star

Triple H WWE Draft

Triple H has yet again landed in the bad books of a WWE Hall of Famer.

Rikishi has been outspoken in the past about the treatment meted out towards the Bloodline wrestlers, including his sons, Solo Sikoa and Jey & Jimmy Uso.

This time around, the 59-year-old has jumped to the defense of his nephew, Jacob Fatu.

Just as the fans were starting to ask questions about his absence from SmackDown, Fatu returned on the September 26 episode and confronted Drew McIntyre.

Both Fatu and McIntyre had previously shared backstage segments, hinting at an imminent clash.

During a recent episode of the Off The Top podcast, Rikishi took another dig at Triple H and WWE for poorly booking The Samoan Werewolf.

This kid here, as far as the talent that he has in and out to squared circle, and again, I’ve always said this from the beginning, that if you book Jacob with the right people, you’re gonna get money out this kid here. Because the thing that he does in the ring, I still don’t think that they have booked him with the right people and light gasoline up behind him to really push this thing to make it work. It’s just been this little tease.

We see Jacob’s skills. We see his talent. We see his popularity is just catching on fire. … Like you can see the top of the hill, but you ain’t got over yet. You know what I mean? Like I don’t even think he on the porch yet. He should be in the house having some sweet tea by now.

Triple H Blasted By WWE Star For Wrestlepalooza Snub

Jonathan Coachman recently criticized Triple H for snubbing him from a video package around Wrestlepalooza, celebrating the new partnership between ESPN and WWE.

The former commentator had two stints with the promotion, collectively spending 10+ years there.

In the video, there was no mention of Coachman, which left the 52-year-old disappointed, resulting in him calling out Triple H on X.

The fact that me and my team didn’t make this package hurts us a little. We took Sportscenter to multiple Manias. We did Tuesday interviews from Smackdown for over 2 years. But at least anchors that don’t know anything about wrestling made it. Thank you TRIPS. LOL. To my 5 guys who rolled with me we know, he wrote on X.
