The Rock says he and Triple H are close, and they talk often.
The Rock and Triple H previously worked together as fellow WWE stars. Now, they work together behind the scenes, as The Rock is on the TKO Board of Directors while Triple H is WWE’s Chief Content Officer.
At the WWE SmackDown Post-Show Press Conference, The Rock was asked to comment on who he consulted with, and he highlighted Triple H.
“That will be Nick Khan, and that will be Paul, Triple H, as well. With those two guys in particular…wrestling is I think an interesting business to be in because while it’s a big business, I also feel like you gotta love it. If you’re these C-suite executes, you have to love the business. That’s what Triple H, loves this business. I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve done a lot of fun stuff together, lot of crazy stuff. He’s doing a great job. I talk with him often, we’re very close. What I like about Triple H is that he’ll present me with something, I’ll like it, then we’ll chop it up, we’ll talk about it, and I’ll present him with something else.
“But ultimately, what I love about Paul, by the way, it’s always been this way with Paul. Even back when we were wrestling together every night on the road is that, ‘Hey, let’s do something that’s never been done. Let’s do something that’s unpredictable, let’s do something that’s bold.’ So regarding tonight with The Final Boss and coming to Cody Rhodes and saying, ‘I want to make you bigger than The Rock, and I want to provide you, I want to make all your dreams come true,’ audacious and bold and disruptive. I could tell Paul, and he’ll say, ‘Great, let’s go for it.’ I love that about him, and that’s the bond that we have. Nick is the same way. By the way, Ari Emanuel, who’s my very close business partner, who’s the owner, feels the same way too.”
