Swerve Strickland opened up about his time at WWE, highlighting a challenging relationship with Triple H during his tenure in the company's developmental promotion, NXT. Strickland revealed that while he respected Triple H, he felt strategically positioned not to overshadow other talents. Despite delivering standout performances that garnered praise from top WWE stars, Strickland often found himself perplexed by the company's decisions to limit his growth and visibility.
