It’s a long way to the top if you want to the top if you want to make it in WWE, and wrestlers have to do their best to impress the people in charge on their way up. However, it sounds like Triple H’s relationship with Seth Rollins got off to a rocky start.
During a recent appearance on Broken Skull Sessions former Universal Champion Seth Rollins talked about his early days in NXT and he revealed that Triple H pulled him aside and said some harsh words to him.
“Terry is very old school in the sense that he thinks a certain way works, and part of that ideology is sort of shunning what is up and coming instead of embracing it,” said Rollins. “And I was always like, ‘Hey, the business is changing. You’ve gotta go with it. If you go against it, it’s not gonna help.’ I would just challenge him in little ways every day to the point where I was insubordinate, and Hunter [Triple H] took me aside and was like, ‘Look, I don’t see anything special in you….”
Even though Rollins and Triple H got off to a rocky start, Rollins made an effort to bury the hatchet with Triple H while he pitched the idea of him becoming the first NXT Champion.
“Three months later, I’m sitting in a room with Hunter and I’m saying, ‘I want that NXT Championship. I wanna be the first one to hold that title. Put it on me and this brand is off and running. If it goes another direction with it, then I don’t know where you’re gonna be in a couple of years.’ And I told him that. I said, ‘I’m the right guy for this. You know that, I know that. Let’s bury this hatchet and let’s make this work.”
