7-time WWE Women's champion praises Triple H era; namedrops Randy Orton
WWE fans entered the Paul "Triple H" Levesque's era following WrestleMania XL. Bayley, who has worked with The Game since her early days on the NXT brand, recently expressed her admiration for the new era.
The Role Model is a two-time WWE Women's Champion, a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, a one-time NXT Women's Champion, and a two-time Women's Tag Team Champion.
She began her career with the Sports Entertainment juggernaut in 2012 when the former WWE Champion was in charge of the erstwhile black and gold brand. With Vince McMahon no longer at the helm and Triple H leading the main roster as Chief Content Officer, Bayley, who is a prominent member of the SmackDown brand, shared her thoughts on the new era.
During a recent appearance on The Rob Brown Show, The Hugger reminisced about her time with Paul Levesque in NXT, highlighting his familiarity with the younger generation.
"I still can't believe the era we're in right now. Us NXT kids that grew up with him in that era are super lucky that he's so familiar with us. We got a little taste of it then, but it's so different now where it's on a much larger scale, and somehow he still makes time for everybody. In NXT it was different; we were [sic] a smaller roster, and [had a] smaller arena to fill," she said.
Bayely noted that despite the growth in scale, Triple H remained an approachable and supportive individual, making time for everyone from established WWE stars like Randy Orton to newer talents.
"Even now, he still makes time for us, from top to bottom, from Randy Orton to me to anybody on the show. That helps the feeling backstage. He makes you feel seen and like he has your best interest at heart. That does a lot for our morale and goes a long way," she added. [H/T: Fightful]

WWE veteran questions Triple H introducing brand new exclusive championship
At WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta, The King of Kings unveiled the new men's and women's Crown Jewel Titles. The annual PLE event in Saudi Arabia will feature Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther and Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan for the championships.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo criticized Triple H's decision to introduce the Crown Jewel Championship, suggesting that it should be defended exclusively in Saudi Arabia whenever the company is there to hold special significance for the country. The former WWE writer questioned the need for a separate championship and expressed confusion regarding the concept and its purpose.
"Why not just have a Crown Jewel Championship that is defended when they are in Saudi Arabia? I mean, that's special to them. I mean, it's just defended when they are over in Saudi Arabia. I mean, ya, the concept and uh, champion vs...., I don't get or understand that at all," Russo said.

Fans will have to wait and see who will emerge victorious as the Crown Jewel Champion in both the men's and women's divisions on November 2, 2024.
