- On if Randy Orton made things right this past Monday night on RAW, Triple H said that we'll know when The Royal Rumble pay-per-view is over on Sunday.

- Triple H called Brock Lesnar the most amazing and intense athlete he's ever been in the ring with. HHH said that Brock's not used to getting thrown around, and Big Show rises to the occasion of the person he's in the ring with. He said that their match will be very interesting, but either way, it's best for business.
- He said that there is no conspiracy for CM Punk being number one in The Royal Rumble match, and that someone has to go in first every year.Visit Wrestling Inc. He said that CM Punk may not be the luckiest, but if he's the best, then he should have no problem going in first. As to how he'll fare, Triple H replied with a smirk, "he's the best in the world."
