Triple H On Ronda Rousey - WWE, NXT Touring In The UK, Takeover Spoiler, Tough Enough, More
Triple H was one of the first celebrities to participate in the new Facebook Live streaming feature. During the 18 minute chat with fans, he takes fan questions and shows us around his office. Below are some highlights from the video, which is also embedded:
* He hypes SummerSlam weekend in Brooklyn with NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, SummerSlam and RAW at the Barclays Center. There are still some seats being released for Takeover but it will be sold out for the event.
* He said not many entertainment entities could sell out Brooklyn three nights in a row but they are.
* He spoils next week's Bayley vs. Becky Lynch #1 contenders match and says Bayley will face NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks at Takeover.
* He acknowledged Jushin "Thunder" Liger coming to Takeover has brought a lot of questions and excitement to the brand.
* The mini-tour of his office includes the live streaming coming from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
* It's hard for him to say if any of the Tough Enough competitors can make it in WWE at this point. He believes there are some with potential and believes some who have already been eliminated had potential too. He tells those already eliminated that if it's their dream to make it to WWE, they will find a way.
* A fan asks when will we see Ronda Rousey in a WWE ring again. He says a lot of factors depend on that happening again. He says she likes what they do and they are huge fans of hers. The opportunity is there if Ronda wants it but it will depend on what they can make happen. He calls her the hottest property in sports and maybe the whole world right now. He congratulates her on her success and the win at UFC 190. He says "never say never" in regards to Ronda being back in WWE.
* He says they are working on touring NXT around the United States and internationally. He talks about some of the tours and festival events NXT will be at. He says they're looking at potential NXT UK dates also. He says NXT will go wherever there is a demand.
* A fan asks who has the biggest office, him or Stephanie McMahon, and he jokes about size not being everything.
* A fan asks how he juggles being a Superstar and an executive. He says it's hard to be an executive, a talent and a dad, just like it is for everyone else in the world. He says it's all about time management and doing what you have to do. He says he doesn't sleep much but it's all worth it because this is fun. He says they have a saying in WWE but it's really what they do – we put smiles on people's faces. He talks about Elijah becoming an honorary WWE Superstar at RAW.
