Triple H has officially secured a new deal with WWE, but behind the curtain, his long-term future wasn’t always viewed as a sure thing. Some within the company reportedly believed that there was a real chance he might not remain in his role much longer.

Speaking on Tuesday’s episode of “Wrestling Observer Live,” Bryan Alvarez reported that concerns about Triple H’s future weren’t limited to online speculation — they were being discussed within WWE itself in the lead-up to WrestleMania 42. He said,

“Sometimes there will be some things that are booked and fans won’t like it, and then they’ll try to get this traction going that maybe we need to replace Triple H. I will say that this year, leading to WrestleMania, unlike previous years when fans were discussing it, it was a topic of conversation in WWE leading up to WrestleMania 42.”

“I want to make it very clear — the people discussing this within WWE were not discussing this in the sense that, ‘We think he’s doing a horrible job, we need him to be replaced.’ It was being discussed specifically because so much stuff was being done at the last second by people outside. The decision to bring in Pat McAfee, the decision to insert him into the storyline, the thing with Jelly Roll — I heard about it prior to that as well with other things that had come from above.”

“It was just kind of — there was a feeling that perhaps these people keep getting involved, and why would they keep getting involved if they have so much faith in this guy? And there were people who thought, ‘I don’t know if this guy’s gonna be around at this time next year.’”

“Turns out he ends up getting his deal extended, so he will be around. But there was a discussion point that, ‘This may not be his thing for a long period of time — it could be over soon.’”
