3 WWE Superstars Triple H likes and 2 that he probably doesn't

As the heir apparent to the entire WWE, it's safe to say that the career of Triple H has been a huge success.

Debuting in the company as a snobbish blue blood in 1995, it wasn't long until the young Hunter Hearst Helmsley tasted championship gold.

Forming the Kliq not long after, the Game made his fair share of friends and enemies as part of the group, before having his push halted in 1996 for the MSG incident.

Returning to the promised land in 1997, the Game would win his first of 14 World Championships in 1999 and is now one of the company's most decorated Superstars.

Out of the ring, Triple H is the WWE COO and is gaining more control each year.

With all this, it's obvious that Hemsley has plenty of supporters and detractors in the company, and here are just some of them.

LIKES: #3 Ric Flair

In 2002, Triple H entered a feud with Ric Flair, with the Game chastising the Nature Boy for being what he saw as a has been.

Of course, this was all a ruse, as the Cerebral Assasin said this so Flair would gain the trust with Rob Van Dam, who failed to gain the World Heavyweight Title because of the dirtiest player in the game.

Both on-screen and in real life, Triple H and Flair have been very close, with the 16-time World Champion helping to mentor Helmsley from 2002-2005.

Splitting in 2005, the duo's feud was possibly more entertaining than their team, as Flair hoped to prove that he was not the Ol' Yeller Superstar Triple H claiming he was.

In interviews, the Game has described Flair as the greatest ever.

DOESN'T LIKE: #2 Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio is no stranger to controversy in the world of Pro Wrestling.

After being released from the WWE in 2014, Del Rio returned the following year, but quickly found himself in the company's bad books, being suspended in 2016, and later released.

During this time, Del Rio engaged in a very toxic relationship with Paige, with the two appearing online together, where Del Rio would reference a big-nosed Superstar, presumably Triple H.

Del Rio would continue to goad the Game, who never responded online to the Mexican Aristocrat's words, though Del Rio has said he has since apologized for all the awful words he said.

Whilst Del Rio has said in interviews he expects he will return to the WWE, it doesn't seem likely with The Game in charge.

LIKES: #2 Randy Orton

This should be obvious to many fans, but Triple H and Randy Orton are close friends in the WWE.

Working together in Evolution, The Game mentored the young Orton, helping him on his way to becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history.

The two would enter a bitter feud almost immediately after though, which saw Triple H defeat Orton at the 2004 Unforgiven pay per view, ending his reign at just one month.

Undeterred, Orton would fight back, feuding multiple times with Triple H over the years, including main-eventing WrestleMania 25.

Of course, this was all done as a favor to both men, who worked well together and got a long well backstage.

Now on SmackDown, Orton continues to be one of the most vicious heels on the roster, clearly having learned a lot from his mentor.

DOESN'T LIKE: #1 Melina

The former Women's Champion had some harsh word for the Game.

This is more one-sided, with the former WWE Women's Champion clearly having an ax to grind with the King of Kings.

In the past, several Divas have criticized the Game for his alleged misogynistic behaviour, though women in recent years such as Sasha Banks, Bayley and Charlotte Flair have lauded him for helping revitalize women's wrestling in NXT.

Despite this, Melina clearly isn't a fan, once tweeting that seeing The Game in public once after her release made her want to vomit.

To be fair, Melina has trashed practically every WWE performer since leaving the company, so it's nothing too shocking to see the former Superstar to have some harsh words for the Game, though I can't imagine he was pleased to read it.

Don't expect to see the screaming sensation back with WWE anytime soon.

LIKES: #1 Sheamus

Asides from one brief feud in early 2010, the careers of Triple H and the Celtic Warrior Sheamus have been very separate.

Debuting on the WWE main roster in 2009, Sheamus was rocketed to the moon, becoming a top star in ECW, before moving to RAW, winning the WWE Championship at TLC.

In February the next year, Sheamus would lose the title, being pinned in an Elimination Chamber, which saw the two enter a bitter rivalry.

However, backstage, the two were very close friends, with the Game being an instrumental part of Sheamus' rapid success.

Whilst the King of Kings did defeat Sheamus at WrestleMania 26, he would return the favor a month later, having the Irishman utterly destroy him at Extreme Rules, which saw the Game off-screen for almost an entire year.
