In the world of professional wrestling, the aftermath of major events often brings speculation about the future of key figures within the industry. Former Intercontinental Champion Ryback has shared his thoughts on the potential repercussions following WrestleMania XL. His comments come in the wake of Vince McMahon’s departure from WWE, following a lawsuit by former employee Janel Grant, which accused McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Ryback has suggested that Triple H, who is married to McMahon’s daughter and has been a prominent figure in WWE, could be among those facing termination.
On his Ryback TV podcast, Ryback expressed his belief that WWE might be waiting for WrestleMania to conclude before making significant changes to its executive lineup. He conveyed a strong desire for a clean sweep, naming several individuals he believes should be removed from the company, including Michael Hayes and Bruce Prichard, alongside Triple H, who he referred to by his ring name, Hunter.
Ryback’s sentiments are echoed by other wrestling veterans, including former head writer Vince Russo, who described Triple H as being in a “lame-duck seat” and predicted his departure from WWE. This speculation has been fueled further by the return of The Rock to a board position and the potential implications for Triple H’s role. Additionally, former superstar Rene Dupree has raised questions about the knowledge Triple H might have had regarding the alleged affair between Vince McMahon and Janel Grant, given that Triple H’s wife, Stephanie McMahon, was reportedly aware.
The situation is further complicated by Stephanie McMahon’s resignation from her role as WWE Chairwoman following her father’s reinstatement as Executive Chairman in January 2023. The wrestling community is abuzz with opinions on Triple H’s handling of WrestleMania XL and his future with the company. As the Chief Content Officer, his decisions and the event’s outcome are under intense scrutiny, with fans and industry insiders alike discussing the potential impact on his career.
In the midst of these discussions, there’s also buzz about wrestlers moving between AEW and WWE, hinting at a dynamic and ever-changing landscape within professional wrestling. The industry’s insiders and fans are closely monitoring these developments, eager to see how the storylines will unfold and what the future holds for some of the biggest names in wrestling.
