Kevin Owens has seemingly raised doubts about Triple H's recent actions following a physical altercation at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event. The confrontation occurred after Owens' actions in the show’s main event, which saw him fail to dethrone Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. In the aftermath, Owens delivered a Package Piledriver to Rhodes, resulting in the champion being stretchered out of the arena.
Triple H's Reaction to Owens’ Actions
This prompted a reaction from Triple H, who appeared on the entrance ramp and shoved Owens. The two were soon separated by WWE officials to diffuse the situation. Owens later took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a throwback picture with Triple H from 2016, when the two were allies. In the image, Triple H assisted Owens in winning the Universal Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match on WWE RAW, where Owens defeated Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Big Cass to claim the title. After the match, Triple H raised Owens’ hand in victory.
Owens’ Possible Message to Triple H
By sharing this picture, Owens may have been subtly highlighting the contradiction in Triple H's actions, suggesting a hypocrisy on the part of the veteran. Owens had previously benefited from Triple H's support in a title match, but now seems to be on the receiving end of the legend’s disapproval. This isn’t the first time Triple H’s unpredictable nature has come into question, as he has a history of betraying others when he feels it serves his interests.
Kevin Owens Reflects on His Relationship with Triple H
In an interview with Sports Illustrated in August, Kevin Owens opened up about his off-screen relationship with Triple H, which he describes as good and built on mutual respect. Owens explained that their shared sense of humor has played a key role in their strong connection, allowing them both the creative freedom to express their ideas honestly.
“We have a very similar sense of humor," Owens said. "It was a couple of years ago when we were talking about how we were gonna do a certain thing on the show. And I went, and I was half joking, 'Can I just point out how ridiculous this is?' And he goes, 'Yeah, why not?' And then it just became a thing.”
Owens’ Creative Freedom Under Triple H's Leadership
Owens further emphasized how Triple H’s role as WWE's Chief Content Officer has allowed him to bring more of his personality and ideas to his character on-screen. The two have developed a working relationship based on authenticity, with Owens feeling comfortable voicing his opinions to Triple H when something doesn’t sit right with him.
A History of Triple H’s Betrayals
The situation with Owens isn't the first time Triple H’s actions have been called into question. Fans remember the shocking betrayal of Seth Rollins in 2016 on WWE RAW, which allowed Owens to capture the Universal Championship. That move led to a monumental showdown between Rollins and Triple H at the following year’s WrestleMania, cementing Triple H’s reputation for turning on allies when it suits him.
As Owens continues to navigate his career and relationship with Triple H, this recent altercation leaves fans wondering if the dynamic between the two has changed or if this is just another chapter in their complex history.
