Triple H refuses to comment on sex trafficking claims against Vince McMahon as he ‘chooses to focus on the positives’ after Royal Rumble and admits he hasn’t even read the lawsuit
- Vince McMahon resigned from TKO this week amid details of his lawsuit
- Triple H took over creative duties from McMahon in 2022
- The Game was questioned about what he knew about the sex trafficking allegations
After a highly successful Royal Rumble, Triple H refused to be drawn into questions about his father-in-law and disgraced former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
The Game, real name Paul Leveque, head of the company’s creative department, was asked how much he knew about the sex trafficking allegations against McMahon before the lawsuit came to light this week.
“I choose to focus on the positive. Yes, there is some negative, but I choose to focus on the negative,” he replied.
McMahon, 78, initially retired in the summer of 2022 amid a series of sexual misconduct allegations. He attempted to return to the company six months later, but Triple H, Vince’s daughter Stephanie and president Nick Khan all voted against his return.
The founder would eventually force his way back in, but he never retained the all-encompassing power he once provided.

McMahon resigned this week as executive chairman of TKO – the company created by Endeavor following the $21 billion merger between WWE and UFC in September – as a result of sponsors pulling out of WWE in light of Janel Grant’s lawsuit.
Grant accused the 78-year-old billionaire of sex trafficking, claiming, among other things, that he defecated on her head during a threesome.
Grant, who previously agreed to a $3 million settlement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022, filed a new lawsuit this week against McMahon, the WWE and a former executive.

In that filing, which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Grant claims McMahon stopped making payments after the first $1 million installment, and she is now seeking to have that agreement void.
When asked what WWE will do to make sure all employees feel safe and that things like this won’t happen again, Triple H simply said it all.
“Everything is possible. That is very important to us, a very important subject. So everything is possible.”
When asked if he had read this suit this week when it was made public, HHH said he had not.
‘I didn’t do that. I think Cody said it. We all found out in real time when you did.”
