"He would have never in a million years laid down for me" - Former Champion recalls Triple H believing in lesser known gimmick

D-Von Dudley recently recalled Triple H believing in his "reverend" gimmick.

After dominating the tag team division for years, The Dudley Boyz were finally split up in the 2002 WWE Draft. D-Von moved to SmackDown, while Bubba Ray Dudley moved to RAW.

This saw D-Von take on a villainous reverend character who acted as Vince McMahon's spiritual advisor. Although he was considered a tag team wrestler, D-Von enjoyed a pretty decent singles run, and he even beat some notable names, including Triple H.

During a recent episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, D-Von Dudley said that The King of Kings believed in his gimmick otherwise, he would've never laid down for him, considering the power he had backstage.

"If Triple H didn't believe that the Reverend D-Von gimmick was getting over the way it did. Then he would have never in a million years, especially at that time, laid down for me. He would have never let that happen and Hunter had a lot of power and a lot of say. So back then. I'm not gonna say even more than he does now. But he had a lot of say back then he had just married Stephanie you know him and Vince are so freakin tight, they're not butting heads or anything like that." [H/T Insight with Chris Van Vliet]

Seth Rollins is reportedly now Triple H's number-one guy

Given the power Triple H wields backstage, there are a lot of WWE Superstars who would want to be his top guy. However, someone has already filled that position.

According to a recent report from Boozer666 via Wrestling News.Co, Seth Rollins is listed internally as Hunter's number-one guy despite not holding a title in the company.

We will have to wait and see if being The Game's number-one guy will result in Rollins winning the new World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions.
