Triple H has nothing but praise for former WWE Champion Roman Reigns following the events of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Despite suffering a loss in the Men’s WarGames match, Reigns finished the night under the spotlight when he shared a staredown with both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes.
Shortly after the show ended, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, heaped praise on Reigns during the post-show press conference, calling him ‘bigger’ than a championship. He drew a massive comparison to a WWE Hall of Famer when describing Reigns’ current standing in the company.
“He’s almost transcended to a point in the business where he’s bigger than the championship,” Triple H claimed. “He’s bigger than being a world champion. He is just a legend unto himself. I used to think that about Taker all the time. He just transcended the business in a way that you didn’t even need to talk about him in the title picture because he was epically in that circle. That is where Roman Reigns is right now. There is an aura about him and just something different.”
The final moments of the Premium Live Event saw Reigns exchange intense words with his teammate Cody Rhodes, declaring that the event marked the last time they would ever team together. When Triple H was later asked at the Survivor Series post-show if this interaction was a teaser for WrestleMania 42, he offered an intriguing perspective on Reigns’ future challengers.
“When you have a star the size of Roman Reigns, he transcends the world title, he transcends the Royal Rumble, he transcends the Elimination Chamber. Does he really need to qualify or does he just call his shot? That’s a decision that we here in the WWE need to make very shortly. I have a feeling that one of those two guys, CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, is on a collision course with Roman Reigns. It’s going to be interesting to see where that goes.”
In the main event of the night, the team of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Roman Reigns lost to The Vision (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed), Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar.
