"Stay tuned" - Triple H shares interesting message ahead of WWE SmackDown
Triple H has shared a message ahead of tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown in Worcester, MA. Tonight's show will be the first episode of the blue brand following Money in the Bank this past Saturday night.
The promotion has had a ton of success lately and one of the company's newest ventures has hit the ground running. WWE Speed premiered on X on April 3 and Andrade is the current champion.
Triple H took to social media ahead of tonight's SmackDown to comment on the success of the show on X and claimed that they were only getting started.
"#WWESpeed is averaging an astounding 1.5 million views per episode on @X. 20 episodes in, and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned…" he wrote.
Andrade defeated Ricochet to capture the WWE Speed Championship. Ricochet has been written off of television due to an attack by Bron Breakker on RAW and there are rumors he could be signing elsewhere.
Bill Apter claims Triple H has spoiled the magic in WWE
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter is not a fan of the Wyatt Sicks faction on RAW and also thought the WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain documentary was unnecessary.
Speaking on a recent edition of Sportskeeda's UnSKripted show, Apter noted that Triple H has been pushing professional wrestling since gaining creative control. However, Apter questioned the need for the documentary about WrestleMania XL and wondered why the promotion was taking fans behind the scenes.
"Since the Triple H era has come about, we have been pushing, 'This is not sports entertainment in a way. This is professional wrestling.' And it's been like that until this [Wyatt Sicks] came along. And now I am seeing things like this, and also upcoming, they are gonna be taking us behind the scenes of WrestleMania in Philadelphia, and people are gonna get a look at how things were planned out with the various wrestlers, etc. So they have completely taken the magic trick and opened it up for everybody to know how they do it," Apter noted.
