Triple H took part in a media call prior to NXT Takeover: XXV. During this call, he spoke on a wide variety of topics.
During the media call, he was asked why he took a small jab at AEW during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this year. For those who forget, he said “Billy [Gunn], let’s be honest. He will buy that pissant company just to fire you again,”.
Here is what Triple H said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quote below):
“At the Hall of Fame and with Billy there, there’s this moment where if you don’t say there’s an elephant in the room, everyone goes, ‘So why didn’t you mention the elephant in the room?’ It was nothing more than that, and with DX, if we don’t do that, then we’re not doing what we do.
“I don’t even really think about it to be honest. When it comes to this TakeOver, I just wanna put on the best product possible. I’m not focused or thinking about anyone else. I’m focused on this Saturday at TakeOver XXV.”
