Triple H was asked about AEW’s blatant shots at WWE during Double Or Nothing on a NXT TakeOver: XXV media call. The Game was also asked if any retaliation is planned. He was quite open to discuss this as he mentioned his own WWE Hall Of Fame jabs at the new “pissant company.”
>“You know, look the Hall Of Fame to me there was a moment… Billy’s there… there was kinda sorta this moment where if you don’t sorta say there’s an elephant in the room then everyone’s gonna say well why didn’t they mention the elephant in the room?”
>“It was nothing more than that and to be honest with DX if you don’t sorta do that then we’re kinda not doing what we do and trust me a lot of that also wasn’t necessarily laid out and planned and things kinda just went along [at the WWE Hall Of Fame].”
>“So what they are you know for me I don’t even think about it to be honest for me when it comes to this TakeOver I just wanna put out the best product possible. I’m not focused on anybody else. I’m not thinking about anybody else’s creative or what they said or didn’t say or anything else.”
>“To me I’m focused on, you know this Saturday at TakeOver: XXV I’m focused on this Saturday at TakeOver: XXV and the brand and making everybody bigger stars coming out of it putting on the best show we possibly can for fans and continuing to grow the brand.”
>I...I'm sorry Cody, I didn't mean to attack you, it wasn't planned, please don't destroy my company.
Triple Bitch

If Vince dies, AEW folds in six months, because first thing HHH does is buy NJPW and ROH.
Jordan Gutierrez
>continuing to grow the brand But the brand has been sinking for years now. Once he loses Gargano, Dream, Cole and Riddle, it's over because all the rest are literally whos
Joshua Cook
the smarks will not like this response. smarks ruined wrestling not VKM or HHH.
Joseph Sanders
this is definitely what I got out of this weak response. Paul is still crying because Cody destroyed that prop.
I think Sinclair is still pissy at WWE for trying to keep them out of MSG and if they were gonna sell RoH, they already would have. But yeah if WWE offered them a billion dollars, I guess they'd probably sell?
Bushiroad on the other hand, no. NJPW has seen massive return on investment for them. No way would they sell.
Landon Lopez
What did DX do at the hall of fame to warrant a vague apology sort of from Lord Hunter of all people?
Nolan Fisher
>PISSANT COMPANY >VINCE WILL BUY IT OUT JUST TO FIRE YOU AGAIN
Cameron Thomas
>PLEASE CODY, DONT TANK ME PLEASE KWAB. Who in the klique isn’t completely bitch made?
Brody Garcia
Clearly he was saying 'puissant' which means powerful.
Connor Edwards
>those two first quotes What the fuck is he even trying to say? Why not just say "Yes, it was awkward having Billy Gunn in the HoF, but we as DX gotta do what DX gotta do." The guy can't talk for shit.
Nolan Torres
>Acts like a big-shot swinging his schlong around at the HOF >"FUCK YOUR PISSANT COMPANY BILLY LOL" >AEW secures the TV deal >AEW puts on a well received PPV >Cody fires back >"P-please Cody, it was a misunderstanding. Just let me make my smark show in peace, I don't want no t-trouble." The absolute state of Triple Bitch
Do you seriously think WWE has more net worth than Bushiroad (the corporation that owns NJPW) or Sinclair Boradcast Group (the corporation that owns ROH) to be able to afford to buy out either entity? Are E-drones actually this retarded?
Ryan Brown
He's shook
Joseph Mitchell
He was clearly caught off guard by the question and started stutterin and mumbln and fumblin and bumblin. I be he was seething internally that one his co-opted pet "media" guys had the nerve to bring up AEW to him.
Kayden Rogers
>Are E-drones actually this retarded?
you know the answer to this
Lucas King
How the fuck is bragging about how big and powerful your corporation is a 'DX' thing to do anyway? It was a HHH ego trip through and through but he doesn't want to admit it.
Adrian Hughes
Wwe is worth more than bushiroad but they've got no reason to sell when new Japan has been a key part of their company's growth over the past 5 years or so. Sinclair is worth way more than wwe and would probably sell for the right amount but what would that do for wwe? Roh is struggling to sell out their venues right now
Zachary Gonzalez

You know right away that its just not true . He is in the same position as Ambrose was , the creatives are fucking him up too . He spend month to build up a talent and then he has to move it up to the MR where Vince will ruin it . IMO right now , he does not want WWE to have a competition ... he wants to be the WWE's competition
Evan Wright
kinda sorta...
Thomas Long
Maybe you shouldn't be burning all those bridges Gaitch
Jeremiah Diaz
typical smark response
Dylan Morgan
Not an argument
Brayden Green
>Gargano >not a literally who
Jason Ross
>and making everybody bigger stars coming out of it putting on the best show we possibly can for fans Until they get bumped to the main roster, shit on by Vince...err...the writers...or whoever and completely forgotten three months later.
Michael Fisher
Imagine being Triple H and trying to build your dream promotion with your best friend, but you are still dependent on a literal retard.
Angel Flores
They have been trying to create the same us for them paradigm they had with WCW in house with brand splitting for the past 2 decades to no success. Even Vince himself soon after purchasing WCW said that he regretted killing his competition because competition created better business for everyone. They should be ecstatic with the prospect of AEW being any kind of competition
Riddle is too good for such a shit company. It’s gonna be a shame watching him get squandered.
Eli Diaz
KWAB
Lucas Jenkins
I think HHH is kinda eluding to the fact that he knows NXT is better than the main show and he just wants to focus on that because it's his.
Oliver Powell
>buy NJPW American companies can't buy Japanese companies by Japanese law
Ian Russell
Why the fuck would he e scared? He could literally beat the fuck out of Cody, Kenny, or any of the Bucks. When they start consistently selling out 10,000 arenas for their show maybe they will be considered a rival. But for now they are just a TNA type brand. As of right now they aren't worth his attention.
Jackson Murphy
Isn't some foreign guy in charge of NJPW.
Jacob Butler
That is better than his usual deflect of "how is your promotion going?" "Oh, you don't have one/Good don't tell us how to run ours" I guess.
Jaxson Stewart
Harold has been in Japan since he was 5, probably a citizen.
Anyway he said own, not work for. Harold doesn't own New Japan, he's the President.
Ethan Mitchell
He's could patch it with some main roster guys, like Breeze and Harper.
Juan Reyes
>He could literally beat the fuck out of Cody, Kenny, or any of the Bucks. LOL what the fuck is this? HHH has never been in a real fight his entire life, he's a roided up nerd. I knew they were stupid but I didn't realize e-drones were literal marks who thought the matches were real.
If they properly committed to the split it would have been more successful and created competition, but it was never going to work with Vince ultimately having the final say over everything and meddling too much in the other show, especially once he became butthurt that the other show became too good, like with Heyman's SD.
Lucas Anderson
>When they start consistently selling out 10,000 arenas for their show maybe they will be considered a rival. WWMeme can't even do that you plank.
Liam Phillips
But he's TALL pal! That's how you win fights! Vince told me so!
Angel Thompson
>Do you seriously think WWE has more net worth than Bushiroad (the corporation that owns NJPW) Bushiroad should stand by their card game anime bullshit. If HHH can beat their CEO at a TCG he wins the company.
Xavier Bennett
Hi, Paul
Samuel Sanders
>I’m not focused on anybody else. I’m not thinking about anybody else’s creative or what they said or didn’t say or anything else.
Does anyone really believe this? The Rock pretty much said that HHH was OBSESSED with being the champion all the time. The guy has main evented mania more times than anyone not named Hogan. He CARES A LOT and he was probably smirking when he saw Cody with the sledgehammer.
Isaac Nguyen
Reminder that Cody was a state champion wrestler and that Kenny is like 4-3 in amateur MMA, with one of those losses being to Dan Severn. They'd both ball Gaytch up. Young Cucks are simps though.
