IN THE RING
COO Triple H: The entire WWE locker room; excluding Randy Orton, John Cena, C.M. Punk, Kelly Kelly, & Eve Torres.. but including the referees the return of Jerry “The King” Lawler – came out and surrounded the ring. HHH came out said the job was a lot harder than he thought and it wasn’t a job he asked to have. HHH said Miz & Truth call him a hipicrite for being mad about doing things he would have done. HHH said he was upset with them for their inability to accept their punishment. HHH admitted to being old school, and enjoying confrontation… and the chaos that is the WWE! HHH said he would bet his life that the WWE Universe likes it also. HHH pointed out to the wrestlers that it was the WWE Universe who really signs all of their paycheques. HHH said it was his responsibility to make sure the show is the best for the fans. HHH said he works for the fans, but was curious to hear the opinions of his employees. Wade Barrett was the first to speak up, saying HHH has created a very unsafe working environment. Wade said the reason they came to WWE was because they are all competitors, who liked to adhere to certain rules and regulations. Wade said they shouldn’t be subjected to being attacked by outsiders. Wade said HHH wasn’t capable of doing his job, and he just admitted it. Wade said HHH enjoys putting his hands on his own talent. Wade said the reason for all the chaos is HHH; you’re completely out of control! HHH reminded everyone that Wade led the Nexus to come out and destroy half the roster and tried to ruin Money Night RAW and shut the company down. HHH said what Wade is saying is the only problem Wade has with the chaos is that he’s not the one causing it. One of the referees spoke up, saying in his 16 years with WWE he has never seen so much abuse against the WWE officials. Beth Phoenix spoke up for the WWE Divas, saying the bedlam around RAW leads them to fear that something might happen to them. HHH asked for an example of something that happened to a Divas since he took over, and Beth just said “it could happen.” Jerry Lawler got in the ring and spoke for himself only – saying he agrees with some opinions but disagrees with others. The King said he agrees that the show is spiraling out of control. The King said he doesn’t think it’s HHH’s fault, but it’s exactly what C.M. Punk said it was. The King said he thinks it’s someone behind the scenes trying to sabotage HHH. The King said everyone around the ring, including himself, is paying the price for it. The King said somebody doesn’t want HHH running the company, and as long as he is running the company it won’t stop. The King said HHH was the reason it was happening. Christian wanted a vote of confidence right now. Each little clique around the ring took turns saying “NO CONFIDENCE.” The King said he wasn’t sure what everyone else was doing but he was reluctantly walking out. The entire WWE roster (the ones that were present, at least) then turned and followed the King in a walk out on Triple H! Michael Cole also got up and left, followed by Booker T, ring announcer Justin Roberts, all of the camera men, the ringside crew, and finally Jim Ross. . . . . The crowd cheered and gave Triple H a standing ovation. John Laurinaitis came out to the stage and shook his head at HHH. The crowd chanted “you suck!” before Laurinaitis turned and also walked out on HHH. HHH then milked the crowd before the show went off the air.
