3 Wrestlers Triple H Is Good Friends With And 2 He Probably Doesn't Like

In this list, we look at 3 of Triple H's wrestling friends, and 2 he doesn't particularly like...

Whether you love "The Game" Triple H or not, it's impossible to deny the fact that he's one of the biggest legends in the business today - definitely one of the all-time greatest. Triple H has accomplished all there is to in sports entertainment, and he's slowly but surely transitioned into a position of authority backstage in WWE as the Executive Vice President Of Talent, Live Events and Creative.

Triple H is undoubtedly one of the WWE's locker room leaders, and he's gained the respect not only from his co-workers and talent, but from the fans as well for his terrific work down in NXT.

With that being said, though Triple H is on the good side of most wrestlers and peers, that certainly doesn't mean "The Cerebral Assassin" hasn't made a couple of enemies, or at the very least, a few wrestlers he doesn't really get along with too well.

Back in the good old days, there were many rumors which alluded to the fact that Triple H had quite the ego, and this clearly would have rubbed some Superstars the wrong way. Today, we are going to be taking a look at 3 WWE wrestlers Triple H is good friends with, and 2 he probably doesn't like (and vice versa).

#5 Friend: The Undertaker

Triple
Triple H and The Undertaker may have been on-screen rivals, but that's not the case backstage...

As we alluded to in one of our previous articles about The Undertaker, it's widely known amongst the wrestling community that "The Phenom" is one of the most respected wrestlers in the WWE locker room, and 'Taker has become friends with most of his co-workers including Triple H. The Undertaker has always showed his peers respect backstage, and there is unquestionably a mutual respect between Hunter and 'Taker.

While these two wrestling legends have been bitter rivals on-screen, behind the scenes, The Undertaker and Triple H are good friends, and they have been for many years now. In fact, it's been reported that Hunter has sought out advice and guidance from The Undertaker when in need over the years, and this showcases the kind of guy "The Deadman" truly was and still is backstage - a model WWE employee.

#4 Friend: Sheamus

One
One of Triple H's closest backstage buddies is "The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus...

As surprising as it may sound, one of Triple H's best "backstage buddies" is none other than "The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus. Right from the start of his career in WWE, rumors suggested that Sheamus was in the good books of Hunter, and this was undoubtedly one of the probable reasons behind Sheamus' quick rise to the top of the card.

Sheamus and Triple H are reportedly work-out buddies, as they have been spotted together "clanging and banging" as The Rock would say on multiple occasions. While we have no concrete evidence that Triple H was involved in the booking decision of Sheamus' shock 2015 WWE Championship reign, by all accounts, "The Game" was definitely all for Sheamus receiving another run at the top of the pecking order...

#3 Probably Doesn't Like: Scott Steiner

Scott St
Scott Steiner and Triple H are the furthest thing from being "friends"...

Considering Scott Steiner joined up with WWE during the time period where Triple H's run was at its peak, it's not hard to understand why things went sour extremely quickly between the two titans.

Although Triple H may have been slightly difficult to work with back in the day, Scott Steiner was just the same if not worse, thus creating a "recipe for disaster" so to speak. Scott Steiner and Hunter's feud in 2003 was far from being great, and it further compounded their disdain for one another.

Steiner would end up getting released from the WWE in August 2004, and he's been at Triple H's throat ever since with his constant rants not only directed towards Triple H, but Hunter's wife Stephanie McMahon and father-in-law Vince as well.

Without question, Scott Steiner would never be welcomed back to the WWE if the decision was solely up to Triple H...

#2 Friend: William Regal

William R
William Regal and Triple H have had a long-lasting friendship...

If you were not aware, Triple H and William Regal have been great friends for many years now - stemming all the way to their days as a tag team in WCW.

Whenever Hunter's needed someone to talk to during a tough period in life (especially during his multiple injuries), William Regal has always been that guy (and vice versa).

Though William Regal has had some issues related to drug and alcohol usage in the past, WWE have thankfully looked past his previous problems with the input from his close buddy, Triple H.

Now working alongside Hunter down in NXT, the two spend hours working amongst each other making their weekly shows as impactful and awesome as possible. As long as Triple H holds some power in WWE, William Regal will be right alongside him - much like how Michael Hayes and Kevin Dunn are for Vince McMahon.

#1 Probably Doesn't Like: CM Punk

Tri
Triple H's most infamous rival is unquestionably CM Punk...

Without question, CM Punk is Triple H's most notorious enemy, or as some fans like to say, "frenemy". The backstage issues between Punk and Hunter have been well documented over the years, and things remain the same even to this day.

Although Triple H tries to be as professional as possible, he still takes subtle shots at CM Punk whenever asked about "The Cult Of Personality".

Apparently, Triple H wasn't fond of CM Punk right from the get-go, and he certainly was not very happy when Punk began picking up steam in the mid 2010s as a "megastar in the making".

Since departing the WWE, CM Punk has made his feelings towards "The Game" clearly known, and the same can be said for Hunter. While neither Vince or Stephanie were very fond of Punk, Triple H was undoubtedly the guy who had the biggest bone to pick with the former WWE Champion...
