With recent reports linking Drew McIntyre’s push to support from Triple H, the assumption has been that Hunter prefers the SmackDown! talent to some of the other rising WWE Superstars.
In an interview with Powerslam Magazine, however, Triple H excludes McIntyre and identifies several other Superstars as future players for the company.
“Well, C.M. Punk is obviously already on his way to becoming a big star. Jack Swagger, I like. Sheamus. Evan Bourne is very good. Kofi Kingston. They are all moving up, but slowly, which is the right way,” says Triple H in the interview.
He adds that he has a particularly close relationship with Sheamus, his training partner on the road.
HHH notes the similarities between Sheamus and a 1990s Hunter, “Sheamus just the other day showed up at a show he didn’t have to be at. He does whatever he’s asked to do without complaining, he goes to every show and is always wanting to work: he does it all, goes above and beyond. That’s what I was like.”
