After Triple H stepped down as NXT’s Creative Head due to health issues in September 2021, Vince McMahon rebranded NXT as NXT 2.0. During that time, Triple H’s close friend and NXT creative team member Road Dogg was fired. Former WWE Writer Vince Russo stated on The Wrestling Outlaws that McMahon punished them for losing the rating war to AEW Dynamite.
“So bro, when your son-in-law (Triple H) is on his deathbed, Vince McMahon takes over NXT, fires everybody Triple H hired, and does a whitewash of everything. Bro, you do that while your son-in-law is on his deathbed. Bro, to me, that was the punishment,” he said.
