Swerve Strickland Says Triple H Dodged Him When He Asked Creative Questions in WWE NXT

TLDR

Swerve Strickland revealed on the Kings of the Ring podcast that Triple H avoided his questions about creative direction during his WWE NXT run, saying "Triple H, me and him were just going back and forth. He was dodging me when I was coming up with creative questions and stuff." According to Strickland, the situation changed when Stephanie McMahon called him her favorite heel on the show, which led to WWE forming the Hit Row faction around him despite his lack of experience leading a group.
