3 WWE Superstars Triple H expected to fail and 3 he tipped to succeed

#2 Triple H expected John Cena to fail

Triple H’s heated promo with CM Punk before WWE Night of Champions 2011 involved an interesting comment from the NXT founder about John Cena.

Granted, this was a promo segment between two WWE characters on RAW, as opposed to an out-of-character interview, but it certainly seemed that both Triple H and CM Punk were telling real-life stories during their back-and-forth war of words.

At one stage, Triple H tried to educate Punk on what he had to do to get to the next level in WWE. Using Cena as an example, “The Game” explained how he came from nothing and gradually won over the WWE Universe to cement his status as the top Superstar in the industry.

Triple H also revealed that he initially thought Cena did not have anything to offer WWE.

“Sometimes I look at a guy and I say, ‘Yeah, that guy to me looks great. I think he’s probably going to be the biggest thing in the business.’ Turns out to be nothing. Other times I look at a guy and say, ‘You know what, I don’t think he’s got anything to offer this business.’ And then that guy turns out to be John Cena, the biggest star in the business.”
