Triple H boldly claims 26-year-old is the future of WWE
Triple H made a bold claim about a 26-year-old WWE Superstar following last night's edition of WWE RAW. The star in question picked up a major victory over Sami Zayn in the main event of last night's show.
Bron Breakker captured the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn at WWE SummerSlam. He successfully defended the title against Zayn in last night's main event in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match. Following the impressive victory, Triple H took to social media to declare that Breakker was the future of WWE and shared an image of himself with the Intercontinental Champion while backstage.
"The future," he wrote.
Bron Breakker originally debuted on the main roster on SmackDown but was selected by RAW in this year's WWE Draft. He has caused headaches for RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and was suspended earlier this year.
Bill Apter reacts to fans blaming Triple H for booking decisions at WWE SummerSlam
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter believes fans are assigning too much blame to Triple H if they are unhappy with the booking at SummerSlam.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted show, the veteran stated that The King of Kings doesn't book the entire show by himself. He compared it to his time at Pro Wrestling Illustrated and noted that The Cerebral Assassin has a whole team of people working with him.
"Triple H has a whole team, and I am not talking about writers. He has a whole team of professional people in the wrestling business that are backstage with him, who are veterans and all that... It's similar to when I worked at Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine. On Fridays, all the editors would sit around a desk, and we would discuss angles and come up with the best scenarios."
Apter added that the company's Chief Content Officer shouldn't be the only one to blame if some fans are upset with the company's booking decisions.
"So, he (Triple H) should not be blamed specifically for something you don't like. There is a team of people that put all these booking decisions together. He is the ultimate 'Let's go with that one.'" [13:23 onwards]
