When he’s not weighing in on the McGregor vs. Mayweather superfight or running NXT, Triple H is usually gearing up for the biggest possible match he can be in. I mean, I’m sure he has other jobs, too. Probably some sort of protein spokesperson, or something. Anyway, his only match so far this year was a two-years-or-so-in-the-making bout against his former protege, Seth Rollins.
You probably won’t be surprised that Triple H has a pretty damn high opinion of the man he hand-selected to be his onscreen surrogate son.
During a recent visit to Sky Sports, Triple H sang the praises of Rollins, who he believes is not only the present of THIS BUSINESS, but also the future of THIS BUSINESS. (Transcript via Wrestling Inc.)
“To stand in the ring with a guy as talented as Seth Rollins is, who’s kind of the current and the future of WWE in many ways, it’s hard to describe how that feels. For me knowing that I was there as he was coming into the WWE, seeing his development in the Shield, being there for a lot of it and seeing him come all the way to where he is now, it’s very gratifying in a lot of ways.”
Yeah, for some reason, I don’t think Rollins really has to worry about his spot in the company any time soon. Although they may have parted ways storyline-wise, it sure seems like Triple H is going to have Rollins’ back no matter what. And maybe someday, when the time is right, he’ll teach Seth how to bring it home.
