WWE, as a major force in professional wrestling, features a diverse roster of wrestlers from all over the world. However, the company has faced criticism for the lack of diversity, particularly in their Premium Live Events. When Triple H addressed this issue, stating that he doesnt see color, his response drew backlash and now WWEs internal reaction to Triple Hs remarks has been revealed.
Recently, people have been worried about how Black male wrestlers are treated on WWEs main roster, especially since they are rarely featured in Premium Live Events. WWE knows about this problem and plans to address it, especially by highlighting Black male singles wrestlers.
During the WWE Bad Blood Post-Show Press Conference, Triple H was asked about the criticism regarding the lack of diversity, particularly the absence of Black talent at the event. He said that he doesnt look at wrestlers based on color, nationality, or gender; he only sees talent. He emphasized that his focus is on talent, not representation.
Triple H explained that WWE tells stories with the wrestlers they have, and their priority is to bring those stories to life. He mentioned that he doesnt keep track of representation but focuses on what matters and the biggest stories in wrestling.
While speaking onFightful Selects Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp reported on WWEs internal reaction to Triple Hs comment about not seeing color. When asked about the lack of Black male stars on Premium Live Events, WWEs response has been relatively muted. No WWE talent has expressed to Fightful that they believe Triple H is racist, although some did mention past actions that raised questions. The general response internally was, I wouldnt have said that.
One individual even referenced Cody Rhodes remarks during an AEW press conference, where Brandi Rhodes told Cody, If you dont see color, you dont see my experience. This response was seen as a more thoughtful way to address the issue. Fightful noted that, as of now, there hasnt been widespread discussion about Triple Hs comment.
WWE seems determined to avoid controversy over diversity, so its unclear when they will start including more diverse talent in their Premium Live Events. Triple Hs comments have already sparked considerable backlash, so it remains to be seen how the company will try to rectify this issue in the coming weeks.
Do you believe WWE will take proper measures to ensure that there is more diversity in Premium Live Events after Triple Hs remarks? Let us know in the comments.
