Triple H Answers the Raging Question Following WWE Raw's Debut On Netflix

The three-minute, eight-second highlight reel was released a few hours before Raw officially aired on Netflix, and was narrated by the Chief Content Officer Triple H himself. The promo showcased several nostalgic moments that left a lasting impression on the fans and also terms like "heel, face, kayfabe" which do exist but never really get talked out in the open by WWE were mentioned on air by the Game. Hence, discussions on the same carried out on social media by several fans and the community were divided into two halves.

Following the culmination of the show, Triple H addressed the matter in the post-event presser and had this to say:

The reaction seems like we did a good job with it.

He elaborated and stated that the intent is to not hide anything from the fans.

That was the intent, to capture the emotion and let people know, we're not hiding what we do. I saw a lot of chatter today from people saying, 'Oh my God, they said heel and face and shoot and work in one promo.' We're not hiding what we do. That's what we do."

To be honest, I think most of the world understands those terms and they've almost transcended our business," the former wrestler continued. It's transcended our business. It's what it is, people know what we are. We talk about it. We're not insulting anybody's intelligence. We're an art form. Absolutely an art form that captures people's emotions. We don't take ourselves as seriously as most other people take us. It was all part of trying to capture that and say, 'If you've watched, watch this and hopefully we honor what you love,"

He concluded by stating that clarity will prevail in the future.

If you've never watched this, watch this, we'll explain to you what we are.' That was the attempt.
