Triple H was nearly fired by WWE, despite his father-in-law Vince McMahon being his boss. Prior to becoming Head of Creative, a role he was appointed into in July, Triple H was one of WWE’s most successful wrestlers ever.
Despite going on to have a great deal of success, during his time with Shawn Michaels in DX, Triple H recalled WWE threatening to fire him.
During his time with Shawn Michaels, Triple H’s DX faction were involved in some of the craziest segments that we’ve ever seen in WWE.
The group often pushed the boat on what was and wasn’t acceptable, with Triple H revealing during a recent interview that it nearly resulted in him being fired by Vince McMahon. Triple H told SPORTbible that the risque nature of his skits with Shawn Michaels were so bad that the USA Network got involved, leading to Vince having to make an ultimatum.
