Triple H said it’s rough and mentioned the different component that is the internet and how fans quickly see when the company gets behind someone.

Austin said some fans feel that Reigns hasn’t earned the push yet. Triple H said Vince McMahon is the one guy who is calling the shots. Triple H said the Rumble was talked over and debated.

Triple H said it’s a tough environment and mentioned how half the people will boo John Cena while the other half would cheer but he is still selling out arenas. Triple H said it’s hard to find the star that every single person likes. Austin said he hasn’t seen the Twitter feedback yet but he believes that RAW may have quelled some of the resentment towards Reigns. Austin said Reigns shined and what he did at the end of RAW helped him. Austin said he needed that and Triple H agreed. Triple H said people say all the time that Reigns isn’t ready and Triple said nobody is really ready for that. Triple H said you think you know what it means to be the guy until you get there and put a whole different world of pressure on yourself.

Austin asked if Triple H could change one thing about RAW what would it be. Triple H said if anything, it would be back to two hours. He said the third hour of TV is so hard to write that he can’t even describe it. Triple H said the three hours is Vince’s call and a finance call. Triple H said he would like to the Divas get more time and attention. Austin mentioned the NXT Divas. Triple H said they have a lot of women that watch the product.
