In an exclusive interview with Poker Scout, a former champion Saraya defended Triple H’s work in WWE, praising his long-standing support for the women’s division and noting that he unfairly receives the brunt of criticism for the company’s creative decisions.
Saraya noted that she will “always hold a soft spot” for Triple H because of the opportunities he provided for women. “I will always hold a soft spot because he helped the women more than people realize, when he took over NXT, he trusted us to have these long matches.
He gave us time, he gave us the opportunities, he let us do moves that women weren’t doing before or hadn’t done in a very long time or what Vince didn’t allow us to do,” Saraya explained. She noted that she is “very grateful for him”.
The wrestling star defended the current creative direction, noting that criticism of Triple H is often misplaced because he is not the sole person in charge. “If something’s not great, a lot of people go on the attack with Hunter and people don’t realize it’s not just him. He’s just trying to put on the best show that he possibly can,” Saraya said.
Saraya called Triple H the “lightning conductor,” a face that takes the backlash for the entire team. “He’s the one who gets the brunt of it, and people just don’t realize there’s more people in just one person running the show,” she concluded.
