During the post-WWE Saturday Night's Main Event show, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed several topics. He expressed that he was not surprised by the fans booing him during the post-match segment of the John Cena vs. GUNTHER match. He explained that there are long-standing traditions in the world of professional wrestling, and there is a proper way to conduct business that may not be understood by people in the moment.
This is what Triple H said, “No. Look, there are time-honored traditions in our business, and there’s a way you handle your business. John has said the right thing his entire career, that it’s about leaving this place better than you found it. I think people don’t — there is no way for people to understand that in the moment, you know? But you do what is right for the business. You do what is right for the industry. John has done that his entire career. I will do that for my entire career. I will do what I think is right for this business. It just is what it is, and I understand that stuff for people. I understand, but you know, it’s part of what we do. That is the role we have chosen.”
On how there was never any doubt about Cena going out the way he did:
“Yeah, I mean that is — if you were to say, ‘What would Cena do on his way out?’ Take the emotion out of it. What would John Cena do? I’m not talking about the character. His entire career. Sum it all up. What do we do on the way out? And if we want to talk about behind the scenes, he will put over somebody on the way out. He will leave this better than he found it. He will go into the ring, and he will make somebody on his way out. That is what John does. That’s what John has always done, and you know, I know people will criticize this. People will talk about this moment right here. I’ve got big shoulders, I’m good with it.”
