Not now. I really wanted to see a Wyatt/HHH match, which could have easily taken place in NXT. But, I don’t think we’ll ever see that.

I'm going to second the, "Triple H isn't good at putting people over," point, and it's not because he won't lose to them - it's because he isn't good at putting them over. Win or lose he just plain is not skilled at making his opponent look better against him than they did beforehand. Cena, Reigns, Rollins, Orton, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, Punk, they all had something to gain from facing Triple H and instead came out worse than they were going in and they're far from the only ones.
I'd say the only people who have actively benefited from being against him are Batista, Rousey, and Bryan.

Seth, Roman, Batista, Orton, Sheamus, Benoit, Cena, etc Yeah Triple H never puts anybody over. Cena - That match at WM22 should have went to Edge, who was getting huge reactions and pulling the biggest ratings in years. Instead, Trips gets the match because he thought he could do a better job of getting booed against Cena than Kurt could. He was wrong. Roman - Chews him up in the WM32 main event. Orton - Orton was pulling huge numbers in the early months of 2009, Trips beats him in the WM main event in a wet fart of a match that was ruined by the stip, and Orton loses a large chunk of his drawing power and heat.
Sheamus - Trips beats him at Mania. Benoit - Sure, Trips taps at Mania, but Chris soon takes a backseat to Michaels vs HHH. Batista was great sure, but more often than not, Trips doesn't do a good job of putting someone over. Never said he doesn't put people over - I said he's not very good at it. So are you saying he DIDN'T put these guys over or he DID put them over? I don't really understand what you mean? Seems you are unhappy with Triple H at Wrestlemania weather he wins or loses.

So are you saying he DIDN'T put these guys over or he DID put them over? I don't really understand what you mean? Seems you are unhappy with Triple H at Wrestlemania weather he wins or loses. In Cena's case, Edge, by every metric at the time and how well he worked with Jern, should have had that WM main event instead of Trips.
In the case of Roman, Trips did a really poor job of putting over Roman.
He didn't put over Orton in 2009 and Sheamus a while later, and in the case of the former, stopped him from getting to the next level.
My point is that yes, Trips does put people over, but he usually doesn't do a very good job of it.

I think Edge and Cena already had their match at Royal Rumble where Cena regained the title. To do it again at Wrestlemania would have been repetitive in my opinion. Both Cena and Edge were better off facing Triple H and Foley respectively. I'm not sure what you're expecting with Roman as nothing seems to get him over so to single out Triple H from a list that includes Daniel Bryan, Undertaker, John Cena, Sheamus, Seth Rollins etc seems odd. Sheamus was made to look brutal, putting Triple H out for months and then went on to win the WWE title not long after. Granted that's not entirely HHH getting him over, but he played a part. Orton at Wrestlemania 25 I can't defend the loss, but psycho killer Orton was at his hottest because of his feud with HHH and the McMahons, and that got him over with me I guess. Also Orton pinned Triple H at Backlash to win the title with his MDK punt and had to be stretchered away. That's putting somebody over really well in my opinion. I mean from that list, the Sheamus one is the only one I'd question him not doing a perfect job with.

I mean from that list, the Sheamus one is the only one I'd question him not doing a perfect job with. That Foley match was great, but Cena/Edge as the main event would have been excellent. Those two had great chemistry, and having Edge cheat in order to hold onto the title at RR would have set up a 'mania match perfectly. Considering just how hot Edge was at the time, there was no excuse for him not to have the title match and main event at 'mania.
In terms of heat, Trips was hot, but HOLY SHIT, Edge was on another level. No question he should have had the main event, instead of a career shortening match with Mick Foley.
If it had been a brutal brawl that fitted the narrative of the story, then Trips losing to Roman would have been fine. Instead, Roman was chewed up by Trips wrestling his usual "Biggest Badass Evurr-ah!" style and didn't make Roman look good. And Roman did actually get over against Sheamus - remember how over he was when he went full beast mode and won the title in 2015?
And Orton? Similar story to the one with Roman. Instead of a brutal match that makes Orton look like a beast, its a boring match that kills much of the heat of Orton. And yeah, Orton did win the title at Backlash, but it was at Backlash and it was a 3 on 3 tag match, thanks to Trips being distracted by stopping Batista from using a chair. So Trips wins in the Main Event of WM, but loses the title at Backlash. Guess which one people will remember more?
So yeah, Trips does put over people, but generally, he either takes that job away from someone who could do it better than him, or does a poor job of it.

Absolutely not. TakeOvers are already so stacked with long, great matches that a bunch of my favourite people on the weekly shows don't get a look in.

The only role I want to see Triple H play in NXT is NXT Dad.

I mean it would be something they market huge for a callup if a guy had "Beat HHH in NXT" on his resume so for the selling point factor I could see it.
