Bayley Claims It Feels Like ‘Seven Years Ago’ After Triple H’s WWE Takeover

For many fans and pro wrestlers, Triple H is a pioneer in the world of professional wrestling. After numerous accomplishments inside the squared circle, he became a company man and the brains behind NXT.

Vince McMahon was forced to retire and step down from his position as WWE Chairman. Immediately, Triple H was made the head of WWE Creative. This was a long time coming for fans as well.

While speaking on The Five Count. Bayley claimed that Finn Balor told him that WWE feels like it was seven years ago after Triple H took charge of the company.

“It’s still so weird to me, when the news broke that he [Vince McMahon] was retiring, I was just in shock and it felt like we needed to…’do we party or sit around and sit in our feelings and feel weird?’ It was such a strange feeling. It’s still talked about backstage how different things are. Not worse or better, just super different. Fortunately, for me, I’ve worked with Triple H for years since being in NXT and we have such a great relationship and he understands what I’ve been through and where I want to go and how I view my character and things like that. In that sense, it’s been so awesome. I can see a shift, it’s kinda like a new relationship, is how everybody feels. Everybody has a little extra spunk in them because it’s different.

I was talking to Finn Balor backstage and Triple H just walked by and was like, ‘Hey guys, what’s up?’ We were like, ‘Isn’t this so weird? It feels like seven years ago again,’ especially with Finn because he and I were champions at the same time in NXT and Hunter was very hands-on and having him there again feels like Twilight Zone.”

Triple H is also fully focused on developing WWE talent now that he is no longer an active in-ring competitor. We will have to wait and see how WWE will flourish under Triple H.
