Vince McMahon never backs away from punishing the WWE talents. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo firmly revealed that McMahon fired Road Dogg from WWE to punish his son-in-law Triple H.
Vince Russo opens up on Vince McMahon
Back in September 2021, The Game stepped away from WWE and his position as the head of NXT due to a health scare. In his absence, several on and off-screen talents were let go from the promotion owing to cost-cutting measures. One of the victims of this wave was Road Dogg, a long-time friend of Triple H.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo stated that Vince McMahon, taking control of NXT in HHH’s absence, was McMahon’s way to punish his son-in-law. Russo also pointed out how this led to Triple H’s wife, Stephanie McMahon, announcing a hiatus from WWE in May 2022.
“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. Remember Chris? Shortly thereafter, what did Stephanie do? Personal issues, ‘I’m going to take some time off to be with my family.’ So all of that happened before Vince’s shenanigans,” said Vince Russo.
