5. Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon was pushing Triple H higher up the card long before he got married to Stephanie McMahon. Whether it was DX or Evolution, Triple H always got priority and it wasn’t always because he was family.
After his marriage to Stephanie, Triple H rose to even more prominence and at present is Chief Operating Officer at WWE. He is responsible for the success of NXT and the revival of the cruiserweight division along with the WWE Cruiserweight Classic. Triple H is doing some great things for the WWE, and the company will have a bright future ahead with him at the forefront.
The main reason Vince has entrusted Triple H with this much responsibility and creative freedom is because of their personal relationship. Their respect and regard for each other show through their work. Vince isn’t just Triple H’s father-in-law or his boss, he’s a dear friend.
