That's my stance on it too. Triple H is much better when it comes to logical storytelling and not doing stupid crap that doesn't many sense. However I don't think he's as good at judging who to push as he's too reliant on workrate instead of looking at the whole package. Yeah you'll get good matches but for that's not as big of a deal for me. I like great characters that are larger then life personalities and the talents he's usually high and gives big pushes to tend to lack in that. yep. My thoughts exactly. HHH pushed Enzo and Cass pretty damned hard. He's shown in the past if something is over even if he doesn't get it he'll push it.

I remember Elias saying in an out of character interview once that Triple H didn’t “get” him. So yeah I’m a little worried Elias, Ezekiel & Elrod!

I think Theory will be fine long term. He may not be pushed to the top as fast as he may have been under Vince & I think that will be good for him. There is no rush.

She's mostly been used in a supporting role lately, but I'm not expecting to see any more big pushes for Alexa Bliss anytime soon. The way she was booked in NXT it was pretty obvious Triple H saw her as secondary to the Four Horsewomen and Asuka, and there are like a dozen other women in the company Triple H wants to put a focus on first that he feels Vince and company were neglecting.

Cody might be in serious trouble when he comes back if Triple H hasn't come around on him, and even just from hearing the people who weren't smitten with Triple H after their NXT tenures, it seems if you weren't one of his boys, you weren't really getting that push, and Cody sure did spend a while openly running cheeky Triple H nods. I think if Hunter still pushes him, he can call that a win. I could have destroyed you, Cody. And I didn't. Ain't I benevolent? Yes Triple H is a comic book villain in my head

I think Theory will be better off. He wont get that forced Vince push that fails and ruins him for years, possibly forever. See Roman Reigns.

Yes Triple H is a comic book villain in my head There's that, yeah, though the bigger thing would be, "I'm the most over face on the roster, and arguably the most credible. I'm also much more TV fresh than basically any other option you've got." "This is all true, but you broke a chair once and pulled out a sledgehammer, so I'm going to fire you or something." doesn't seem to be an especially likely scenario, even with Triple H's ego. WWE loves their "big emotional moment" payoffs, and getting the gold that eluded Dusty is money that'd be difficult to leave on the table.

He's the most over Face and Cody has said he admires HHH plus obviously the Dusty connection. For as petty HHH was a wrestler he's not shown the same thing as a booker/head of talent etc so I don't see that as a worry Also for people mentioning Theory. Did y'all watch NXT? HHH likes Theory, he might not push him as hard but he's not going to fully disappear off the card. HHH will find ways to keep him over

I don't know what some people watched in regards to speaking on Tag Teams and HHH not pushing personalities He pushed Bobby Roode as his replacement to Shinsuke when he was getting called up. Also before he got sick he was big on Karrion Kross (who I liked) but his style left people not really feeling him. They basically had to kick Velveteen Dream out the door when the fire got too hot cause HHH wanted to hold on to him. If you want to complain about workrate matches, that's how Keith Lee got over and then let his personality shine. Him and Dijak were going crazy in their matches and the fans loved it

HHH now has to answer to the board more directly. so "we spent all this money and hyping up this massive debut and one of our biggest reviewd matches of the year was all for this one guy... and you aren't pushing him... because he broke a chair on some other show?" Ditto for some of the other people mentioned here... like again Alexa Bliss is one of the top merch movers in the company even if she's not on top she'll be at least showcased somehow... cause again... "she made us x million dollars in merch sales last year... why are you purposely sabotaging this."

HHH will find ways to keep him over Right, plus Triple H knows how the game is played and probably didn't take most of the jabs all that personally. Their beef was over Triple H not seeing Cody as a main eventer, and that was many years, and several world titles, ago, so it's one of those issues that's likely settled. Yeah, I do think Theory is going to go back to the drawing board to a degree whenever the briefcase is resolved. They have a pretty ready-made story of him finding his place now that he's out of Vince's protection, and can go the sympathy route of trying to have him prove himself. I could see him slipping down the card, obviously, maybe put him in a team with someone who might want to mentor him, possibly.

Yeah, Cody was mad but it was business and if HHH was still an active competitor I can see the worry but as the go to guy now it is water under the bridge If Gargano comes back I can see them trying that again since it worked before and they have good chemistry but this time as a face. The obvious one would be him as Miz protege when he first came back before the Vince stuff. I think an underrated team they can go with is him and Pretty Deadly when they get called up. Hell, just give him a manager

For Cody's sake I hope HHH didn't watch the first ever Double or Nothing.

I don't think The Rock, Stone Cold, Mick Foley, William Regal, Eugene, Shane, Test, Lesnar, Taker, or that one broom in the back should be betting on title shots any time soon, that's for sure.

He saw how over Cody was on his return, and saw him fight through his pec injury. In addition, if they want to bring people over from AEW eventually- they aren't going to depush Cody.

R-Truth wasnt exactly at the top, but he only was there cause he made Vince laugh... We'll see now. Also Ezekiel, Omos, Veer, Theory...... I think everyone loves Truth, so they will find things for him.
