Fans in Saudi Arabia were not universally positive towards WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque following the 2026 Royal Rumble. The 56-year-old executive had chants of “We want Vince” and “You f**ked up” aimed at him during the Royal Rumble post-show.
Triple H did not acknowledge the chants during the broadcast. Sean Ross Sapp noted on a Fightful Select Answers Q&A that there has been no internal reaction to the “We want Vince” chants within WWE.
Negative remarks towards Triple H have become common at Premium Live Event post-shows since the new format was made permanent at SummerSlam 2025. Fans were notably furious following John Cena’s retirement match on the December 13, 2025, episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event. That event saw Triple H receive significant boos, followed by fans chanting “You f**ked up” and “AEW” during the post-show segment.
Regarding the recurring hostility, Sapp noted the reaction within the company regarding the last few times Triple H has received negative chants.
“Well, Triple H didn’t want to be in a room full of media, and this was what he got instead,” Sapp reported.
Vince McMahon has been gone from WWE since he resigned as TKO Executive Chairman in disgrace in January 2024. His departure came after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing McMahon of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and physical and emotional abuse. Additionally, McMahon, Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO are being sued by seven former ring boys who have alleged the defendants were aware of the sexual abuse carried out by Mel Phillips but did nothing to prevent or stop it.
