Vince Russo, a former head writer for WWE, recently asserted that Triple H harbors a personal disliking for LA Knight, a factor Russo believes is impeding Knight’s ascent within the company. Russo made these remarks during a discussion with Chris Featherstone on his YouTube program, Right With Russo. The conversation focused on why certain performers with significant potential fail to achieve a breakthrough.
Russo stated that he received information indicating Triple H’s lack of support for Knight.
hris, I was, you know, not—not by an outsider—I’m just going to put it to you this way. I was told that Triple H does not like LA Knight. And you’re seeing that, bro. LA Knight goes so far, then we pull him back. LA Knight goes so far, then we pull him back. And again, bro, that’s the competition between the boys.
He emphasized that Knight’s inconsistent booking is not coincidental. Russo suggested that internal “competition between the boys” backstage can obstruct the promotion of talent favored by the audience. He views this as WWE potentially undermining its own momentum due to internal politics.
