Rumor Roundup: Major Backstage Power Struggle In WWE, Notes On Triple H, More

1) Triple H Didn’t Know About The NXT Releases Until After They Happened

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H and Shawn Michaels didn’t know about the recent NXT releases until after they happened. These were decisions made by Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, and John Laurinaitis.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“Even though they were NXT releases, it was Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis who were the ones who decided who would be cut. Those in NXT said that not only did Paul Levesque, who runs NXT, nor Shawn Michaels have a say in the cuts, but they weren’t even aware of them until after Laurinaitis started calling the talent.”

My Take:

  • This seems crazy. Triple H must be completely pissed off.
