Triple H sends emotional message after WWE SmackDown

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H sent a heartfelt message after the latest edition of SmackDown came to a close. With tonight's episode of the blue brand, the show's five-year journey with FOX came to an end.

Back in 2018, WWE signed a deal with FOX to air SmackDown on its network. The five-year deal has now come to an end with the latest edition of the blue brand.

After SmackDown came to a close, Triple H took to X/Twitter to share an emotional message addressed to FOX. Here's what The Game wrote in his tweet:

"Thank you to FOX for an unforgettable five years of broadcast television, pushing @WWE further into the mainstream. #SmackDown"

WWE SmackDown's five-year run on FOX gave fans some of the most memorable and iconic moments in the show's history. The Bloodline's entire run, the NXT invasion, and several other major moments took place on SmackDown on FOX.

On the other hand, this era also gave fans some of the worst moments in WWE history. On the premiere episode of SmackDown on FOX, Brock Lesnar squashed Kofi Kingston in a matter of seconds to become the WWE Champion and end the latter's months-long title run. There was no follow-up to the squash and Kofi simply moved on from the loss.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
