Maven Says Only One Person In WWE Trusted Triple H
Maven has called out Triple H over his comments in WWE's latest documentary on Netflix. Former WWE superstar Maven Huffman has built a sizeable fanbase, thanks in part to his YouTube hustle. The former Tough Enough winner recently dropped a new video on his channel, in which he reacted to WWE: Unreal. The documentary pulls back the curtain on WWE's creative process with appearances from the likes of Triple H, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley. At one point during the documentary, Triple H references his old beef with Punk, telling fans the issue between them stemmed from a lack of trust. However, according to Maven, there weren't a lot of names who trusted Triple H during that era—except his best friend, Shawn Michaels. 'No one trusted you, Hunter,' Maven said. 'Not a damn — Shawn trusted you, right? There's your list.' Maven recalls his WWE experience with Triple H and Shawn Michaels 'You're in a WWE locker room, and when you're walking down from catering, and you see Hunter and Vince and Shawn. You see all these guys that you watched on TV, and you see all these guys that you've idolized for years, and all of a sudden, you're not only in the same locker room as them, but hell, I'm on the show with them tonight,' Maven said. He continued, ''Well, I don't want to step on anybody's toes. I'm going to be the good little subordinate wrestler and do what I'm told. Hopefully, if I cross my fingers and I do what's right, then my time will come.' That's how 99.9% of the locker room views it. Punk said that was bullshit, and I'm gonna be as much of a star as you are without your effing help. By God, he went out and did it.'

Report: WWE's Mindset Behind Placing Main Roster PLEs Against AEW PPVs
What is WWE's mindset behind their recent change in strategy to place main roster premium live events against AEW pay-per-views? It was reported earlier this week that WWE has plans to run a yet-to-be-announced premium live event on September 20 to go head-to-head with AEW All Out. Later in the week, it was reported that WWE is also interested in changing the date of John Cena's retirement match to go head-to-head with AEW Worlds End. For a company that claims that AEW isn't competition, why the sudden, drastic change in strategy? According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is in the process of delivering a 'major full court press' against AEW with additional assistance from TNA to hurt their overall business. 'They (WWE) really want TNA to become the other promotion because they can control TNA,' Dave Meltzer said. 'And it's a—this is a major full court press, —They just want this guy (Tony Khan) out of the box. And they know that if the numbers stay good, that he's going to get a renewal at a much bigger number, just like they did, and a number that will make him increase. 'It's already very profitable. The number will make him incredibly profitable, and they'll never get away with him, you know, away from him or anything like that. So they feel that they need to make sure this is the last contract.' [H/T: WrestlePurists] Will John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar negatively impact AEW All Out next month? Meltzer also spoke on the upcoming unnamed WWE premium live event going head-to-head with All Out, with a main event attraction of John Cena versus Brock Lesnar. 'It is [John] Cena and Brock Lesnar on September 20th,' Dave Meltzer said. 'I think that's very clear now. And that's going to go head-to-head with All Out in Toronto. And you know what the effects of there are, we don't know. The one thing we do know is that for All In: Texas, it didn't hurt at all, and it probably hurt NXT a lot worse. 'Now, when it's main roster pay-per-view with Brock Lesnar against John Cena head to head with AEW, or will AEW go to the afternoon, or what? I don't know what Tony Khan's response is going to be. Obviously, the last time he moved to the afternoon, he can easily do that again. Wouldn't be that difficult to move Toronto to the afternoon. It's probably beneficial to do that. But we'll see.'
