WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, ensures to communicate at a personal level with the company’s roster. Recently, The Game sent birthday wishes to country music icon Jelly Roll. Moreover, he even called the artist a friend and a WWE Superstar.

Jelly Roll competed at this year’s SummerSlam alongside Randy Orton in a tag team match against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. The musician cut promos, was involved in a backstage ambush, and also got the cheers of the crowd. Thus, despite fighting just one match, HHH honored Jelly Roll by calling him a WWE Superstar on his 41st birthday via a tweet on X.

“Music icon. WWE superstar. Inspiration. Proud of the many challenges he’s faced and overcome, and even prouder to call him a friend. Happy birthday @JellyRoll615!”

Jelly Roll and Randy Orton ended up losing the match at SummerSlam. While the musician refused to be taken out of the arena by the medics, his last stand was thwarted by Logan Paul, who pinned him to pick up the win.


Triple H slammed as the worst WWE booker in 50+ years

The men’s WarGames match at the 2025 Survivor Series saw a hooded figure in all black climbing into the cage and dropping CM Punk with a Curb Stomp. The mysterious man then escaped the cage instead of revealing who he was, and Bron Breakker finished things with a Spear on Punk.

While Triple H ended the main event of the premium live event with this cliffhanger, he made almost no effort to continue this story on the RAW episode right after. Frustrated by this, former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized The Game on his YouTube channel and called him the worst booker he has ever seen in his lifetime.

“In my 55 years of watching televised wrestling, I am now gonna make the declaration without a shadow of a doubt, Triple H is the worst booker I have ever seen since 1971. You’ve got a masked guy at the WarGames. Screw the babyface team, and none of the babyfaces are on Monday Night RAW to get answers and find out who effed them? Are you effing kidding me? And bro, it’s so important, and it’s a story of such magnitude that the only one that seems to care about it is Adam Pearce, and he cares about it to the point, Stevie, of putting a referee on it. Triple H, brother, you suck. It can’t get any worse than you.” [0:50 onwards]

The points raised by Russo are valid and showcase the gaps in the way Triple H planned the red-branded show without focusing much on the hooded figure. If anything, it was the heel team mentioning the masked guy. It would be interesting to see if HHH will drop any clues about the identity of the mystery man on SmackDown.
