#1. Killer Kross had a great time working with Triple H in WWE

Killer Kross recently spoke to CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri and revealed how Triple H was really like backstage in NXT.

The former NXT Champion spoke highly of the Cerebral Assassin and called him a natural leader who was always fair to NXT talents.

"It was awesome. To me, he is a natural leader. He was not someone who ever had to raise his voice. He's not someone who ever had to get angry for people to listen to him," Kross said.

Kross also said that Triple H didn't play favorites backstage and inspired the locker room to develop their craft and improve as performers. The Game is the best mentor anybody could ask for, according to him:

"He was a person where I would come into work, and he would be completely focused with each and every person he was working with. I never saw him play favorites. He never told you wanted to hear; he always told you what you needed to hear. He inspired people to be better versions of themselves at work."

Triple H's influence within WWE has undoubtedly taken a hit following the recent changes to NXT; however, the company's COO still remains a valuable asset to Vince McMahon and his team.
