Triple H, a legendary figure in WWE, motivated the Authors of Pain (AOP) to seize their moment at WrestleMania, challenging them to steal the show and earn a significant push. His words were a clear message to the team: step up your game or miss out on a golden opportunity.
AOP’s Recent Push and Potential
The Authors of Pain have been on an upward trajectory lately, demonstrating notable improvement and potential within WWE.

Bully Ray’s Insight on Triple H’s Leadership
During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, host Bully Ray shared his WrestleMania 40 experience, highlighting some behind-the-scenes moments that underscored Triple H’s leadership. As the guest official during the Final Testament match featuring Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits, Bully Ray witnessed an inspiring exchange backstage.
Energising AOP for Success
Triple H’s commitment to Karrion Kross and AOP stems from his personal decision to bring them back to WWE, envisioning big plans for their future. Both had previously been released under Vince McMahon’s regime, but Triple H saw untapped potential. To elevate their status, he included them in a Street Fight match at WrestleMania 40.
Before the match, Bully Ray detailed a motivational pep talk that Triple H gave to AOP. On Busted Open Radio, Ray recalled, “I watched [Levesque] go up to AOP and give them one hell of a pep talk. Basically, [he was] telling them, ‘Force me to push you.’ … I watched him go up to them and try to get into them, and basically say, ‘Give me a reason. Go out there. Steal the show. Do something.’”
Future Prospects for AOP
Since WrestleMania, AOP and Final Testament have been receiving a push, indicating they made a significant impression. Recently featured as a dominant team, AOP secured a victory over New Day, showcasing their growing prowess. However, it remains uncertain whether a title run is imminent for them.
Triple H’s Vision for His Hires
Triple H’s support for AOP highlights his desire for his recruits to succeed. While fans have mixed opinions about AOP’s in-ring abilities, Triple H’s confidence in their potential is unwavering. His pep talk likely served as a crucial boost for AOP, who have shown marked improvement since their return.
The direction for Final Testament as a faction is still evolving, with recent recruitment efforts focused on Xavier Woods and their midcard performance. Whether this will lead to a main event push remains to be seen.
