WWE is currently in the UK for their upcoming Clash at the Castle show in Cardiff, Wales. As such, this allowed Triple H to appear live with Ariel Helwani and the current head of WWE Creative had the following to say when it came to the topic of NXT running head-to-head with AEW. “The Game” said,

No, no. People put so much pressure on this ‘competitive war.’ It never was that. First of all, they beat our developmental system. Good for them. It was never that. There was never pressure of, ‘You have to beat them.’ It was never that. It was ‘put on the best product we could.”

When current AEW wrestler Chris Jericho was informed of the comments made by his WrestleMania 18 main event dance partner, Jericho was quick to respond. Alex McCarthy mentioned the comments made by Paul Levesque, and Le Champion did not hold back when confronted with what Hunter had to say about the NXT/AEW head-to-head match-up. He said,

“Well I mean, once again, it is just changing the narrative and changing the history, which makes me laugh because when it started, it was not developmental. ‘It was the third brand,’ and ‘It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon’ and all the other bull**t that they said.

“So, of course we beat the developmental or whatever you want to call it. Who gives a s**t? It’s such old news. And the show sucks, NXT sucks. It’s not a good show, and they know it. And whether they were punished or not, they probably were punished. That’s probably why Triple H said those things, because he is angry that we beat them. And he’s probably angry that we exist. But you know, we don’t care about WWE. We care about our show, we care about putting on the best stories that we can put on, and we care about building our fanbase and building our ratings.

“And we will continue to exist. Because I tell you this, my boss has a lot more money than his boss does. A lot more. So you want to go to that, it’s like, we are not going anywhere. And we’re just continuing to grow, and I think that pisses them off, and why wouldn’t it? They had a monopoly for so long, they don’t like the fact that we exist and that’s fine. We don’t care that they exist, God bless them. And they’re running a show in front of 50,000 people, why would he care about us? But you know, he should, and he does, and that’s why he said those things.”
