Triple H Fires Shots At All Elite Wrestling During WWE Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony (Video)
Triple H used the DX WWE Hall of Fame speech to fire shots at All Elite Wrestling.
While joking around about being corporate these days, Triple H said apparently these days if you put the "EVP" title in front of someone, it makes them feel important. AEW's Executive Vice Presidents include Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.
Triple H then called AEW a "piss-ant" company after DX joked around about not being able to name Vince McMahon during their speech. Billy Gunn said Vince couldn't fire him anymore, a reference to Gunn working for AEW.
The Gunn joke led to fans in the audience doing an "AEW" chant. Triple H responded, "Billy, let's be honest. He would buy that piss-ant company just to fire you again."
Everyone laughed at that reference and another line from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. When joking about always counting on Gunn to under-deliver, Michaels said, "You can always count on 'ol Billy Gunn to over-promise and under-deliver. We thank you for being out here and being 'All In'."
