"You can't not be jealous of it" - Triple H 'loves' 29-year-old WWE SmackDown Superstar, reveals former champion

Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Trent Seven recently suggested that Triple H is a big fan of Butch.

Butch officially signed with the Stamford-based company in early 2017. He competed for about five years on NXT UK and NXT, where he held the NXT UK and the NXT Tag Team Championships. The 29-year-old then debuted on the main roster in March 2022. He is currently active on SmackDown as a member of the Brawling Brutes.

During a recent episode of the TouchGrass Wrestling podcast, Trent Seven recalled seeing Triple H and Shawn Michaels "marking" over Butch (fka Pete Dunne).

"He [is] just a bada**, and Triple H sees it. My God, they're like, it's pathetic. It's like sometimes like you can't not be jealous of it. He [Triple H] loves him. I remember sitting at Gorilla [position] watching Triple H and like Shawn watching Pete Dunne, and they were marking like they were like, 'How is he this good? [whispering to each other]' And he is that good. That's the point," Seven said. [33:16 - 33:51]

Triple H is reportedly very high on another WWE Superstar

While The Game is seemingly a fan of Butch on SmackDown, he also thinks highly of RAW Superstar Raquel Rodriguez. The 32-year-old has been with the company since 2016 and has won several titles, including the NXT Women's Championship, NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

However, Rodriguez recently vacated the WWE Women's Title after her tag team partner, Liv Morgan, suffered an injury. According to a recent report, the former champion is set to receive a singles push.

"Raquel will then be pushed as a singles star on her path to winning a singles title. Triple H [is] very high on Raquel." [H/T - Xero News]
