Following a highly successful Royal Rumble event, Triple H, whose real name is Paul Leveque and serves as the head of creative at WWE, avoided addressing questions about his father-in-law, the disgraced former WWE chairman Vince McMahon.
When questioned about his knowledge of the sex trafficking allegations against McMahon before the recent lawsuit came to light, Triple H opted to focus on the positive aspects. He acknowledged the existence of negative aspects but emphasized his choice to concentrate on the positive.
Vince McMahon initially retired in the summer of 2022 amidst a series of sexual misconduct allegations. Despite attempts to return to the company six months later, Triple H, Vince’s daughter Stephanie, and president Nick Khan opposed his return. McMahon eventually managed to return but did not regain the all-encompassing power he once held.

This week, McMahon resigned from his position as Executive Chairman of TKO, the company formed after the $21 billion WWE and UFC merger in September. This decision followed sponsors withdrawing support for WWE due to the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant.
Grant accused the billionaire McMahon of sex trafficking and detailed disturbing incidents, leading to a legal battle. Asked about ensuring the safety of WWE employees and preventing such incidents, Triple H expressed the commitment to do everything possible.
When questioned if he had read the lawsuit when it became public, Triple H mentioned that he had not and learned about it in real-time along with others.
