In this episode of the WrestleTalk News, reports of even more WWE veterans returning to the company for the brand split – including names such as Curt Hawkins, Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards and Carlito – and Triple H gets emotional backstage. His girl done him proud!
Triple H Has All The Feels!
Our top story today concerns reports that even more ex-WWE stars are returning to the company, but first – it’s time to play The Game…of emotions.
WWE’s developmental promotion NXT is very much Triple H’s baby, which he’s overseen since its inception. As a result, he’s very invested in the success of the NXT wrestlers who are called up to the main roster.
This week’s first brand split episode of Monday Night Raw not only saw the debuting former NXTchampion Finn Balor immediately position himself as one of the company’s top stars, it also saw former NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks win the WWE Women’s Championship from Charlotte in what I thought was the best moment of an already very good show.
This led Raw’s General Manager Mick Foley to tweet Triple H about looking after the female NXT wrestlers:
Thank you @TripleH for having a vision of what #WomensWrestling could be – and for believing in@SashaBanksWW
Which was accompanied with this behind-the-scenes look at how much Banks’ title win meant to The Game. Prepare for the feels: Triple H looks like he’s crying.
I shouldn’t prepared that lasagne before I started writing *sniff* LEAVE ME ALONE, I’VE BEEN CHOPPING ONIONS.
