Wrestling star Nick Aldis believes WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H enjoys AEW's success.
AEW, under Tony Khan's leadership, recently held their biggest show, All In, in their short history at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Over 80,000 fans reportedly attended the event, which witnessed several title changes.
During a recent interview with Niko Knows Best, Nick Aldis, who could soon join WWE, addressed the success of AEW. He also claimed Triple H enjoys it for one sole reason:
"[The success of All In is gonna light a fire in Triple H and Endeavor's a**es?] From my limited time dealing with him, I don't think he needs the fire lit ever. But I think he, look I don't wanna speak out, I think he kinds of enjoys that's happening. I think he knows that it's healthy for the business and I think in many ways he's glad that there's competition because he knows that it brings out the best in everyone," he said. [1:15:35 - 1:16:10]
