Vince Russo once again spoke candidly. On the February 3rd episode of Coach & Brother, the former WWE writer made a striking prediction about Triple H’s future within WWE, linking it to what he perceives as growing tensions within The Rock’s close circle.
Examining the fallout from the 2026 Royal Rumble, Russo suggested that WWE’s creative leadership—especially Triple H—is facing substantial internal opposition. His reasoning centers around Roman Reigns’ recent remarks about The Rock’s daughter leaving WWE, which Russo interprets as part of an ongoing backstage power struggle.
He highlighted Eva Reign’s quiet departure from the company shortly after the release of her girlfriend, Harlem Bravado, just a week earlier. Russo didn’t hesitate to imply the significance of these events.
Russo stated:
“Let’s piggyback on this. The Rock’s daughter is leaving the company. Before that, one article noted that her girlfriend was released from WWE a week prior. I’m not certain if that’s connected, but it’s an offshoot of The Rock… And Roman Reigns is an extension of The Rock, folks.”
Russo boldly predicted:
“Following the Royal Rumble disaster, I said this online: Coach, I’m going out on a limb and say this—by January 1, 2027, Triple H won’t hold the role he currently has. I’m 1000% certain of this.”
For Russo, this situation extends beyond backstage politics; it’s an escalating battle. He believes signs of division are becoming undeniable and that this is a direct challenge from “the other side”: Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Eva.
He explained:
“Now it’s becoming clear. There’s open animosity towards him. What some of us noticed a year ago, everyone is seeing now. When you involve Reigns, The Rock, and The Rock’s daughter—this is the other side making a declaration.”
Russo’s perspective suggests WWE could see monumental shifts within the next 11 months. Given the negative response to the Royal Rumble, many share his concerns that something is indeed amiss.
