Triple H recently opened up about Vince McMahon's reaction to his behind-the-scenes issues with The Rock in WWE.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, the WWE legends battled over the Intercontinental Championship before moving into the main-event picture. Although they are now good friends, the former opponents disliked each other in real life when their characters began feuding on television.
The latest A&E WWE Rivals episode featured stories about The Rock receiving backstage heat early on in his career. Triple H even revealed that McMahon offered to book him against another opponent due to his tension with The Great One:

"I remember Vince said something along the lines to me of like, 'I'll probably move you into something else. I know you and Rock sometimes don't see eye to eye.' I was like, 'Hold on a second, Vince, he and I are money in the ring together. It's magic. I don't give a s**t how well we get along. I'm good working with him every night.'"

After 27 years in WWE, Triple H replaced Vince McMahon as the company's creative figurehead in July 2022. The Rock, meanwhile, recently became a board member of WWE's parent company TKO.
Why The Rock and Triple H disliked each other
Due to the competitive nature of the industry, wrestlers sometimes develop jealousy of one another as they try to reach the top.
Triple H added that he and The Rock did not get along because they both wanted to be known as WWE's number one guy:
"He and I were fighting for the same spots. It was heated. At various points in time, he did not like me, and there was various points in time I did not like him."
In the same episode, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart gave an insight into how The Rock was treated when cameras were not rolling.
