Whilst legions in the internet wrestling community are enticed by what transpires within the squared circle, the action behind-the-scenes has an entirely separate fanbase.

Wrestling fans who live and breathe Vince McMahon's billion dollar company are constantly seen monitoring dirt sheets to get a more detailed analysis on what might be going down near the gorilla position.

With heated backstage encounters becoming a thing in WWE now, the constant decline in viewership intertwined with the vehement criticism of the fans has become a subject of concern within the WWE management.

If recent rumors are anything to take into consideration, then it is none other than Triple H who is losing patience with Vince McMahon's creative decisions backstage.

Confirmed by an insider on Wade Keller's podcast, a close associate of the company's writing staff threw some significant light on the entire backstage situation surrounding The Game and The Chairman of the Board, Vince McMahon.

The entire podcast brings to light the tensions growing backstage among WWE management whilst showering some credibility to The Game who is often seen consoling his NXT superstars.

With the introduction of 'Wild-Card Rule' after an extremely disappointing Superstar Shake-Up, this article will dive deep and analyze the 4 biggest reasons why Triple H is extremely frustrated with Vince McMahon.

#1 The constant decline in viewership and immediate failure of the 'Wild-Card Rule'

One of the biggest reasons why Triple H is getting frustrated with The Chairman of the Board is the constant decline in viewership and ratings.

With numbers hitting a record low for more times than one, the situation has coerced the WWE management to make some serious alterations in the way they are advancing storylines on the main roster.

While the fans have always welcomed the possibility of fresh feuds and match-ups, the overall feel of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live has become pretty similar and stale.

Taking Triple H's work down in NXT into account, the widely applauded developmental brand has proved successful in bringing quality in-ring action and engaging narrative to our screens.

Moreover, The Cerebral Assassin recently liked a tweet on Twitter that addressed the array of disappointing stories being presented on a week-to-week basis, and while the former WWE Champion's appreciation might feel accidental, it somehow fits the entire scheme of things now.

#2 Making unnecessary alterations instead of character building

It's undeniable that NXT has consistently brought elite level of in-ring action to our television screens with Triple H giving all his heart and soul in transitioning talented independent performers into world-class professionals.

Regardless of the fact that The Game has been influential in bringing some of the most creatively ground-breaking stories to the squared circle, Vince McMahon's creative interventions have resulted in frustrations behind the scenes.

With incredibly proficient performers struggling to finding their footing on the main roster, the most recent name alteration of The War Raiders gravitated insane amount of heat towards the company.

Fans went wild after two of the most destructive forces under Triple H's NXT were being addressed with a different name altogether, and while the change-in-name might not affect the newest faction on Monday Night Raw, it certainly justifies why Vince McMahon might not be taking suggestions from The Game anymore.

Furthermore, making notable changes to Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Mustafa Ali didn't make sense and only gave fans a reason to shower some constructive criticism to Vince McMahon and his style of working.

#3 Coerced to console NXT Call-Ups backstage

If you closely analyze the careers of Bobby Roode, EC3, Eric Young, Tyler Breeze, Chad Gable, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bayley, and Asuka, then all played an influential role in ascending Triple H's NXT to unprecedented heights.

While The Cerebral Assassin's creative alliance with his backstage team were responsible for bringing magic to our screens on the developmental brand, the treatment of these NXT call-ups on the main roster have been absolutely dreadful.

Despite the fact that the likes of Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Lars Sullivan are making waves on both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, many are struggling to even get television time.

With the former WWE Champion growing incredibly frustrated with Vince McMahon and his creative directions, there are significant rumors floating around on The Game possibly consoling NXT Superstars backstage.

In the midst of the entire viewership crisis surrounding the WWE and the inevitable introduction of All Elite Wrestling, the likes of Luke Harper, Lio Rush, and Sasha Banks asking for their release may have Triple H extremely concerned.

#4 All Elite Wrestling possibly striking the right chord with the fans

Is WWE in trouble?

Whilst majority of the hardcore WWE fans who have supported Vince's billion dollar company through thick and thin may not agree with this, but All Elite Wrestling effect is real.

Despite The Game throwing verbal shots on AEW at this year's Hall of Fame Ceremony, the former World Champion's understanding of the word 'professional wrestling' may not be similar to Vince McMahon's understanding of the word 'sports entertainment.'

Since hardcore WWE fans are demanding the company to deliver engaging in-ring classics, Vince's reluctance on delivering a fine blend of wrestling and entertainment could coerce the audience to divert their attention towards a more 'sports-centric alternative.'

And, with All Elite Wrestling all set to hit our screens this 25th May with Double or Nothing, the inevitable competition could lead WWE to panic mode behind-the-scenes.

Considering that the newly introduced promotion is now all set to air on TNT drama this fall, the excitement among the fans could bring some legitimate competition to Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

Judging by the way Vinnie Mac has been booking shows on the main roster, the predictability of it all could lead to more elevation in All Elite Wrestling's already established name.
