Dutch Mantell stated that Triple H is taking things slow and steady at the moment, keeping the interests of the audience in mind. He went on to say Triple H is the deserving candidate for the job, as he has the best job in the world.

But what Triple H would do is, he would say, 'Okay, let's go a little bit this way and see how people grab it.' Triple H has got the best job in the world. He can take his time and see how people buy it. That tells them what to do.
