Triple H Allegedly Jealous of Current WWE Superstar

Triple H, formerly one of WWE’s greatest in-ring performers, now serves as the Chief Content Officer of WWE. He transitioned from an iconic wrestling career marked by 14 world championships to an influential executive role overseeing WWE’s creative direction and content production.

He stepped away from active wrestling in 2022 due to health reasons. Since he is a central figure behind the scenes, shaping WWE’s future, he has watched the new generation gain momentum, especially talents like McIntyre, who embody the fighting spirit and have grown into top contenders.

Triple H Is Jealous of Drew McIntyre

Vince Russo suggested that this has resulted in Triple H harboring jealousy toward Drew McIntyre due to unresolved emotions. Russo, on The Wrestling Outlaws, pointed out that McIntyre’s star power has been rising significantly, but he hasn’t yet received the full push many expect

Russo said, “This is why I say you can’t be one of the boys, and write and book and be creative. Because Chris, how do we know, how do we know part of the issue is Triple H isn’t jealous of Drew McIntyre? Come on, Chris, you and I both know, you don’t think it’s not killing Triple H that he can’t work anymore? You don’t think that’s not killing him inside?” [12:37 onwards]

McIntyre’s popularity surged notably after his 2020s comeback, highlighted by two WWE Championship reigns, including a strong showing at WrestleMania. Yet, he has faced creative hurdles recently, with some fans and insiders feeling he hasn’t been given consistent top-tier booking. This perceived gap fuels speculation about backstage dynamics, where Triple H’s position as CCO influences who gets opportunities and spotlight.

On another front, Drew McIntyre appears to be setting his sights on the spot held by another star, Cody Rhodes. After Rhodes’ dramatic win as Undisputed WWE Champion at SummerSlam 2025, The Scottish Warrior aggressively targeted him on SmackDown, attacking Rhodes and signaling his ambition to claim that championship reign.

McIntyre’s recent attack with the WWE Championship belt and a Claymore Kick through the announcers’ table sent a clear message: he wants to take over Rhodes’ role as the company’s top face and cement his place at the pinnacle of WWE.
