Triple H once raised concerns backstage about Chris Jericho after his fellow WWE Superstar accidentally gave Chyna a black eye during a match.
Jim Ross, WWE’s former Head of Talent Relations, said on his Grilling JR podcast that Triple H asked Vince McMahon to talk to Jericho.
“I just think that Vince is then able to go tell Triple H, who we were counting on – he was going to become a huge star, great heel – that, ‘I talked to Jericho, I got that cleared up.’ So that’s one squeaky wheel that moves on to something else. So I think that’s kind of what it was... Triple H’s influence,” Ross said.
Ross explained that Triple H was protective of Chyna during her storyline with Jericho because he was dating her at the time.
The former WWE executive also recalled how he warned Jericho about possible negative reactions in the locker room after the incident with Chyna. According to Ross, Jericho had a “fearless” and “undaunted” attitude, and he was not intimidated by any of his WWE co-workers.
