Triple H is considered by many to be the godfather of NXT and has immense respect in the eyes of every Superstar, who consider him to be their mentor. It has been a trend for NXT Superstars to click a picture with the Game backstage after winning a title, something which shows how much attached the Hall of Famer is to the brand.

During a recent interview with Metro, Triple H was all praise for Keith Lee, even touting him as a future world champion.

"He’s just the kind of guy that you wanna work hard for, and you wanna deliver for him. ‘Man, I love working with him. You say “Keith Lee, world champion” – and you ask me what my opinion is? I say “Hell yeah!”

"Look, it certainly wouldn’t shock me, right? Keith has every tool"

Triple H even called him a locker room leader, revealing how comfortable he has become in the world of pro wrestling.

"It’s funny, when talent sometimes comes in here, you’re doing the same things in how you work with them but they have a preconceived notion of what they think you’re looking for and how you’re looking for it. So they change what they do to try to deliver some preconceived notion of what they think that you want – but it’s really not what you’re looking for. Sometimes it’s a while. Man, now that Keith is comfortable here, he’s just… such a great guy. Hard working, humble, just wants to deliver. Great human being, locker room leader. Everything that you could want – an ultimate pro."

Ladies and Gentleman, we are truly living in the perfect NXT timeline right now, look at our champions, NXT IS SET FOR NOTHING BUT GREATNESS with Keith Lee and Io Shirai running the show. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/mFdvyRIJdo
