On the latest upload to Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge YouTube channel, the legendary Bill Apter cleared the air about Triple H’s comments after WWE SummerSlam. Some took it as Triple H being disrespectful to Apter after bing asked why Austin Theory was in the battle royal instead of defending the United States Championship.
Apter said, “A lot of people were defending me thinking that Triple H disrespected me at the SummerSlam post-press conference.”
Apter continued, “I had asked a question to him and I said, ‘Why the heck is the United States Heavyweight Champion in a Battle Royal’, and he sarcastically, jokingly, because it’s a relationship I have with him said, ‘Well, to win a Battle Royal, to throw people over the top rope’, and he went into this, and you know, it got a good laugh. Then he explained how he couldn’t put all the talent on the show because it was too long. But my feeling was that one of the main champions in the company should not be in a plain old Battle Royal there, and a lot of people thought that he was sort of too sarcastic and disrespecting me, and I just want to set the record straight. He was not disrespecting me one bit.”
