Waltman disclosed that Triple H had to fight very hard to get the green light to get beaten up by Reigns.

"[WWE] did wonders in a two-day period between the last pay-per-view and I was here in Philly when Roman won the title in the exact building in Royal Rumble that they booed him out of the building," Waltman said.
