Triple H is the COO of WWE and oversees everything that goes on in the company and naturally, that includes releases. The company ended up releasing a few key talent earlier this month, and now Triple H’s potential involvement in the latest set of releases has been revealed.
As reported earlier, Baron Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox were all released in the latest slew of cuts from the company. While Hartwell and Nox were released, which means they have 90-day non-compete clauses, Corbin was simply told that WWE won’t renew his contract and he will be a free agent once his current contract ends.
While speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether Triple H was involved in the latest WWE releases. Sapp noted that he was not told whether Triple H had any involvement in the releases. He pointed out that two of the three wrestlers let go hadn’t been used on television, which might mean WWE didn’t have major plans for them. However, he also mentioned that Mustafa Ali was supposed to win the NXT North American Title before he was released, so sometimes wrestlers are cut even if there were plans for them.
“I wasn’t told if he had a say directly, but two out of the three were people who weren’t being used on TV at all. It’s hard to believe that someone they had firm and big creative plans for would be let go if someone in control of creative wanted them to stay. But then again, Mustafa Ali was planned to win the NXT North American Title and was cut.”
Baron Corbin already received an offer from ex-WWE star Tyrus following his release, while Tegan Nox made it clear fans will see a side of her that had been long forgotten. Regardless, only time will tell if WWE will ever bring back any of the aforementioned talent to the company again in the future.
