Triple H will go down as one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time. The Game has now limited his in-ring appearances to focus on his backstage role. He is the father of WWE's third brand, NXT, and the reason behind the success of many an upcoming Superstar.

NXT has grown a lot over the years, and seeing the potential in the United Kingdom market, WWE also launched NXT UK two years ago. Recently, NXT hosted The Great American Bash event and beat AEW Fyter Fest in the ratings "war".

Speaking of HHH's backstage role, there was a time when Vince McMahon did not wish to hire Road Dogg back despite The Game's request. Dogg was a part of D-Generation X. However, he received an indefinite suspension in 2001 and later was released due to personal problems.

After a stint in TNA and the independent circuit, Dogg returned to WWE in 2011. Triple H played a massive role in his comeback as, during his appearance on X-Pac 12360, Dogg revealed:

[Hunter] tried three times. He [McMahon] said, ‘Why would you bring a known drug addict back to work here as an employee?’ And he said, ‘Because he’s been sober for –‘ Vince said no. So he said no two times, and the third time Vince said, ‘It’s on you, Paul. This is on you. I think it’s ill-advised, but you make the decision.’ And he gave him the opportunity to make that executive decision."

"And then later, Vince and I spoke, and Vince was like, ‘I couldn’t believe he was gonna hire you, and now I wish I had ten of you.’ And that made me feel really good, I was like ‘Holy crap. If there was ten of me, I could get all this stuff done!' (H/T: 411mania.com)

Road Dogg competed inside the ring for a while before joining the backstage crew. He got inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, along with DX buddies.
