TKO may be forced to fire Triple H from WWE for major reason after recent development, says veteran
Since taking over creative, Triple H has led WWE to several notable achievements. However, a wrestling veteran suggested the Stamford-based promotion's parent company TKO might have to fire The Game and other executives for a significant reason.
A lawsuit was recently filed against Vince and Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO for allegedly allowing "open, rampant abuse" of the "ring boys" at the hands of the former ring crew chief, Melvin Phillips Jr., in the 1980s and 1990s. This comes several months after Vince McMahon left the Stamford-based company amid being sued for alleged sexual assault and sex trafficking by former employee Janel Grant. Now wrestling veteran Bin Hamin has had his say in the ongoing matter.
While commenting on the latest lawsuit on his The Friday Locker Room podcast, Hamin suggested TKO must make massive changes to WWE's management and production crew. The former CW Heavyweight Champion claimed the parent company's CEO and Executive Chairman Ari Emanuel must eliminate Vince's son-in-law, Triple H, and everyone in management and production who has worked with Vince McMahon in the last 40 years.
"This McMahon one is gonna go back and just in the coverups alone, naming Linda, naming, you know, the whole family really. How can Triple H and Shawn hold their head up? How can Bruce [Prichard] hold their head up and still make it through this? If I'm Ari Emanuel, dude, all these people within one degree of separation with anybody named McMahon that ever worked with him in 40 years has gotta be gone from the company," he said.
Bin Hamin pointed out that TKO not making an immediate decision to get rid of all of Vince McMahon's former associates who are still in WWE could backfire on the company.
"Like, talent can stay, on-air talent that are younger, but everybody management-wise to really production-wise almost has to go, producers, because it's too much of a liability because they know where the bodies are buried, what secrets are kept. And that can come back and really be a bad skeleton in the closet down the road if you don't clean sh*t out now," he added. [40:24 - 41:21]

Triple H has flipped on Vince McMahon, claims WWE veteran
Following Vince McMahon's initial retirement in 2022, Triple H took over the creative process in WWE. In a recent interview with the Wrestling with the Devil podcast, former head writer of the Stamford-based promotion and wrestling veteran Vince Russo speculated on The Game's current relationship with his father-in-law.
The 63-year-old claimed the current Chief Content Officer and his wife, Stephanie McMahon, have flipped on the former chairman.
"[I think Triple H has flipped on Vince.] Triple H and Stephanie, I believe that without a [doubt]," Russo said.
Former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman recently revealed what Vince McMahon hated most about Triple H. He claimed the former chairman had no interest in any of his son-in-law's projects, including NXT.
