I’m not at my best right now. That’s why, even though I’ve been giving my all with this knee, I don’t think I can become the strongest until I fix this knee.

Triple H takes a subtle dig at AEW; says WWE's storytelling is betterWWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, recently made remarks that appeared to take subtle shots at AEW’s creative approach. Speaking on the All-In podcast ahead of this week's Monday Night Raw, the King of Kings compared WWE’s storytelling philosophy to that of other promotions without naming All Elite Wrestling directly.“We tell stories. I’m less—and people within our business sometimes take this wrong—but I don’t—we don’t write the shows based on, ‘That’ll be a great match.’ We write it on the stories that we can create. The protagonist, the antagonist—how does that work with each other? Telling stories that can resonate with people, that maybe they’ve experienced in their real life, some type of fantastical version of that," he said.
