During this year’s SummerSlam event, Triple H surprised many by posting match ratings on his X/Twitter account, a move that generated considerable discussion among <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE fans. As the Chief Content Officer of WWE, responsible for the company’s creative direction, Triple H’s use of social media to rate matches—particularly those he helped book—caused a split in opinions across the wrestling community.
Diverging Opinions Emerge Over The Game’s Ratings
The most notable rating came from Triple H’s comment on the tag team match featuring Roman Reigns and Jey Uso versus Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. He awarded the match “four stars,” praising it as “One hell of a match” and a perfect way to start SummerSlam. This post led to comparisons between Triple H and noted wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, who is famous for his star ratings.
“Four stars. One hell of a match. That’s how you kick off SummerSlam.” —Triple H, Chief Content Officer
Despite some fans appreciating the rating as a genuine acknowledgment of quality, others criticized the move. Several expressed concern over the perceived conflict of interest, since Triple H rates matches that he himself has a hand in organizing. Some fans saw the action as a possible jab at Dave Meltzer, while others viewed it simply as unusual for the company’s top creative figure to publicly assess the product in this way.
Fan Responses Highlight Mixed Reactions to Triple H’s Tweets
Fan reactions ranged from confusion to amusement, with some mocking the decision while others defended it. Comments reflected the division, showing both surprise and skepticism about a company executive sharing these kinds of subjective evaluations openly. While many in the WWE Universe voiced displeasure, others suggested Triple H was merely stating the obvious quality of the match and giving the event a positive endorsement.
Whether Triple H plans to continue posting such ratings or respond to the ongoing debate remains to be seen, but his recent tweets have undeniably added a new dynamic to how fans engage with SummerSlam and WWE content.
