5 AEW stars who are close to Triple H

#1. Triple H and Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho were once bitter enemies

There aren’t many men who are more well-known and respected than Chris Jericho and Triple H in AEW and WWE, respectively. While Triple H has taken a break from the ring, Jericho is still pushing ahead as one of the top wrestlers in AEW.

Over the years, Jericho and The Game have had several big rivalries and matches. Many people backstage have pointed out that the two men had real-life heat between them.

In a recent interview, Y2J cleared the air about his relationship with Triple H and said that the two were simply professional rivals before.

“I think there were guys, in the past, that I had issues with. I mean Triple H is one of them. He’ll tell you the same. In the early 2000s, we didn’t have much [likeness] for each other, but we always had great matches, and I think that’s one of the reasons why.

“We just had this professional rivalry, maybe a bit of a personal dislike [for each other]. But fast forward five, six, seven years, you get to be older and wiser and think back. Why did we have so many problems? Why did we hate each other? Why didn’t we like each other? And now we’re friends.”
