5 AEW stars who are close to Triple H

#4. Triple H and AEW star Malakai Black have a good relationship

Former WWE NXT Champion Malakai Black was seen as a top star by Triple H during his time in the company. His move to the main roster didn't go well, and he was released abruptly.

Black is now trying to make his way to the top of AEW. However, he's a former WWE Superstar who has a good relationship with Triple H.

The Striking Man from Amsterdam has praised Triple H’s work and vision on several occasions. In addition, Zelina Vega has spoken about the time when she informed Triple H and Stephanie McMahon about their wedding.

“There were a few people that we had to tell. Obviously, like, this person didn't do it, but we were excited to tell, like, Triple H and Stephanie because they're like, we look to them as parents.”

“I remember when I first told Hunter, he was like, 'Wait, you guys are together?' I was like, 'Yeah, we're getting married.' He was like, 'Wait? So you and Andrade...' He was so confused.

“I was like, 'No, that's just the storyline.' He said, 'Well, you fooled me. My babies are getting married; this is so cool.' He was so happy and so supportive.”

Vega revealed that she and Black were like Triple H and Stephanie’s "babies". Black also spoke about his relationship with Hunter and how he believed in him.

Aleister Black on Twitch reacting to his release says he’s thankful to Vince McMahon, Triple H, Bruce Prichard, Paul Heyman and others in WWE for the opportunities they gave him. Also says Roman is a great locker room leader.

“The good thing about what Hunter did, or as I call him, ‘Boss,’ he believed in me and he never tried to change me,” said Black. “He told me, ‘I signed you for you. Don’t be something you’re not. Never forget that.’”

Black is just getting started in AEW. He could've been the future of WWE, but his career has taken a surprising turn that can work for his betterment.
