WWE delivered an incredible show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis this week at Fastlane. After the premium live event, the company held a special press conference. During the conference, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H answered some significant questions. The Game was also asked about his reaction to Edge leaving the company to join All Elite Wrestling.

Triple H said it was the right time for him to leave as it would create opportunities for young talents. He said, “But when they see him walk away and go somewhere else, they’re like, ‘Damn right, I’m taking that spot.’ That creates opportunity. Everybody will step up their game to fill that role.” Furthermore, The Game revealed that there is a line of young talents, just like Edge was when he came to WWE.

In the press conference held after Fastlane, Triple H went on to appreciate John Cena’s efforts. The WWE CCO said, “He’s at an age [where] he’s doing a lot of other things. I would just say this to everybody out there: revel in it. Because the appreciation level that John should get is off the charts.”

Triple H and John Cena share a mutual respect for each other. The Cenation Leader competed in a match against The Bloodline at Fastlane. There is no doubt that the Franchise Player is close to hanging up his boots. However, he is advertised for the Crown Jewel PLE next month in Saudi Arabia.
