Vince Russo recently spoke on SportsKeeda's Off The Skript and discussed Goldust's run in WWE. Russo revealed that the reason behind WWE scrapping Goldusts' gimmick was because USA Network had complained about it after it got increasingly sexual and provocative.

“Bro, one day Vince [Vince McMahon] calls me in and is like, ‘[Throat-slitting gesture] It’s over, it’s done.’ I mean, there was no [argument] because it was affecting business. Bro, what do you do? We go from that guy to Dustin Rhodes? What could you possibly do?” (H/t: SportsKeeda)

Russo said that he felt bad for Goldust as it was just business and he had to pay the price for it despite putting in so much effort.

Triple H had returned to WWE a few weeks back and confronted Randy Orton on RAW. However, it has been reported that Triple H's appearance was a one-off and the King of Kings will not be returning to in-ring action anytime soon. Here is what Cagesideseats reported:

Triple H’s recent return and match on Raw isn’t expected to lead to anything more and he’s back on the sidelines indefinitely.

Triple H had returned to RAW essentially to replace Drew McIntyre who had to miss the show because of contracting COVID-19. While The Game looked like he would be renewing his feud with The Viper Randy Orton, it looks as though Triple H's return was just a stop-gap arrangement.
