    Here's a thought- Rock is now on the Board of Directors of the company. I know Vince owned the company and still performed, but this is a different era and a different company. Would Rock even want to wrestle now?
    The Rock wrestling has always been about him being the final boss for Roman. What better way for him to cement his status as tribal chief by beating the most successful member of the family. Given how long he has reigned he doesn't need the rub anymore

    After the match Logan Paul told Punk he loved what him and Cody did. Some fans don’t realize that while Punk was legit tired (he’s barely worked in a year) a lot of this was also ….acting.

    Cody and Punk were both acting like they were gassed from how long they were in there. It was part of the story the 2 did.

    For those wanting a Punk heel run…he goes heel in spot here. Playing to audience with his moments.

    Post show HHH had to keep basically keep saying, let’s discuss the PPV than discuss Vince McMahon essentially. In one spot he praised TNA for allowing Grace to work the show and her as a talent. Then he mocked the saying of the Forbidden Door lol

    Cody handled the questions about Vince better than Trips did. You know hunter is bull****ing when he said he didn't read the lawsuit

    Trips is a suit now and has to answer suit wise. He isn't gonna give anything to press and risk losing his position he has now. Its his company direction fully now and with no one coming in to swoop it away.

    The talent themselves from a report is more happy. Because they always felt there was a risk Vince would swoop back in and take control over something. Now they know the only boss they answer to is HHH.

    Unless TKO decides to clean the house and fire everybody who was close to Vince.

    Cody answer was also a suit answer. He acknowledge what happened, did so in a respectful matter and served as something of a prep talk. Trips was completely dismissive and tried to avoid the subject. A suit would know better than to state an obvious lie like not reading the lawsuit.

    Cody definitely handled it better than HHH. Cody at least seemed prepared for the press to bring up the elephant in the room, though of course there was some PR stuff in it. But it was still a lot better than HHH, who went out of his way to dodge and deflect. I get the impression that if the press pressed HHH any further, he would have said "This conference is over" and abruptly walked out.

    Cody’s a worker and can wax poetic about the situation and speak more openly. Trips can’t here since he’s in a higher position. Plus has bosses and a sponsor who nearly quit.

    Cody has been around more, and had to play more roles while he was out there.

    He is easily a better "Suit..." than anyone else in the mix. Even if he is technically "Talent..." in this instance.

    Cody was in a whole different situation as an executive with his friends and Tony Khan than the position HHH is in currently. HHH has a whole set of bosses above him and given this situation right now , they don’t want him making anything that can be used as news fodder to CNN or press.

    Given he’s Vince’s son-in-law he likely knows TKO could sack him if they feel like it. Not wanting any of the family there.

    So yeah…HHH handled this the best he could.

    You forget that Cody was an EVP. Same position as HHH. I doubt they would have been any issues if Trips answered questions in the way Cody did.

    Tony Khan parties and hangs out with his workers. It’s like working at a beach resort and palling with the boss there during work hours compared to say .. working at Target with your boss lol.

    Yeah Triple H handled the Vince questions horribly, I get that he's obviously uncomfortable talking about it given he's Vince's son-in-law but he should've just reiterated what Cody said and said he'll give no further comments. Nobody buys he didn't read the lawsuit and if he didn't he isn't qualified to be in the high ranking position he is. More surprising is that TKO didn't hold a press conference or send a message to the media addressing the situation so if anyone in WWE is asked they can just tell them to refer to the statement. Incredibly stupid for Triple H to go before journalists and not have anything prepared.
