3 Biggest things WWE told us with WWE Network Originals Special: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania

Last week on June 1st, the so-called developmental brand of the company, NXT, delivered the 25th edition of it's highly successful PPV series, NXT TakeOver XXV.

Immediately following the show, WWE released the WWE Network Originals Special: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania. Triple H, other than being the COO of WWE, is the lead producer of NXT as well, and it was apt to release this episode after a TakeOver event.

The title of the poster above says "Creation and Destruction" which hints at the two different sides of the man we know as Triple H. He plays a big managerial role backstage in creating and expanding the WWE Universe, but when he steps in his wrestling gear, he is as good in destroying his opponents as we saw him do at WrestleMania 35 to Batista.

The WWE Network special was definitely an interesting watch for people like me who love to watch and understand the various parts of running a business of this magnitude. If you ever wondered how Triple H's WrestleMania weekend goes like, this episode is your answer.

In this article, let's take a look at the 3 bggest things WWE told us with the WWE Network Special: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania.

#3 Triple H has many roles to play

One Man, Many Roles!

The biggest message delivered through this WWE Network special was that stepping in the shoes of the WWE COO is not an easy task. The man has a million things to take care of and his job never ends!

Many fans were of the opinion that this episode would focus on his preparations for his big match against Batista at the Show of Shows this year, but The Game literally had no time to think about it till the night before WrestleMania.

The toughest thing is to focus on what you are doing at the moment and not think about the other hats you have to fill after this. In a span of merely 72 hours, we see Hunter deal with promotional interviews, charity engagements, meeting with business partners, NXT TakeOver, Hall of Fame, and what not apart from his in-ring duties against Batista at WrestleMania.

In the episode, we see a staff member wishing Triple H "happy Friday!" to which he replies "I don't get a weekend". It is indeed tough to have such a hectic schedule and still have a smile on your face while talking to a little Make-a-Wish fan and make her feel special. Respect!

#2 The Hall of Fame speech of DX was not planned beforehand

DX headlined the 2019 Class of WWE Hall of Fame!

D-Generation X is one of the best and most fun groups that WWE has ever seen. The biggest reason for them getting over with the fans was the fact that they enjoyed it themselves as well. One thing that we learned from this WWE Network Originals Special was that the Hall of Fame speech of the faction was not planned beforehand.

Having a busy schedule, HHH mentioned how he hasn't even considered the personal implications of the Hall of Fame Ceremony for him as he was getting into it for the first time in his career. As a matter of fact, the group hadn't planned out their speech and just had a couple of ideas. In Triple H's own words,

"The rehearsal for me was all of us getting together in a room to remember what the chemistry was!"

Well, if you have not seen their induction speech yet, I would highly recommend you to go and check it out. Here's a small clip of their speech where the group honoured the late Chyna who was also a part of DX. Mind you, these are the only few serious moments throughout their induction, as the rest of it was DX level craziness.

#1 Vince completely trusts Hunter with NXT

NXT is truly led by Triple H!

Triple H has had a legendary career as a wrestler being one of the biggest stars of the company in the last two decades, but NXT is still the best thing that he has given to WWE as well as the whole pro-wrestling business.

We saw Dean Ambrose rip-off WWE's main roster booking as well as the atmosphere backstage with many wrestlers unhappy in the company, but the documentary did a great job in letting the viewers know how different NXT is. The great sense of contentment and pride in the whole roster after a highly successful NXT TakeOver: New York was clearly visible.

Another interesting observation from the episode was that the boss Vince McMahon was nowhere to be seen at NewYork's TakeOver event. Considering the constant blaming of Vince micromanaging everything in the company, it was a pleasant surprise to see him trust Hunter completely and not interfere. One can also argue that maybe the chairman was busy with something else, or maybe does not care.

Whatever may be the case, NXT is truly Triple H's baby!
