10-time World Champion to replace Triple H in WWE? Veteran comments on the possibility

WWE has thrived under Triple H's leadership in the past few years. However, Vince Russo had a different take and believed The Game would leave the promotion in the coming year. Recently, Dutch Mantell gave his opinion on The King of King's potential exit and The Rock as his replacement.

Triple H changed the company's landscape before The Rock returned to the promotion and joined as one of the board members of TKO Group Holdings in 2024. However, Vince Russo believes Ari Emmanuel would replace The King of Kings with The Final Boss in the coming year.

Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran gave his opinion on Russo's comments and believes Triple H had no prior issues like Vince McMahon, and The Rock can book himself well, but as the creative head, The Final Boss cannot book the entire roster.

"I would say Triple H knew what he was doing. He knew what chances he would be taking if he followed that route of young boys and young girls or even messing around. He wasn't going to do that. I don't think that The Rock has the talent to book a whole territory," Mantell said. [From 18:40 onwards]

Triple H made an appearance at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event 2024

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event had several shocking twists and turns. Liv Morgan and Gunther retained their respective championships against their challengers on the show.

Elsewhere, Chelsea Green became the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion when she defeated Michin. Moreover, Drew McIntyre remained dominant and kept his streak alive against Sami Zayn, who's yet to defeat The Scottish Warrior in a one-on-one bout.

The night's biggest shocker was when Kevin Owens lost and hit Cody Rhodes with a packaged piledriver. The American Nightmare was stretchered out of the arena, and a furious Triple H confronted The Prizefighter for his actions. The two were eventually stopped by officials, but it'll be interesting to see what's next for The Game on the weekly product.
