Tommaso Ciampa's departure from WWE was amicable with no anger from Triple H, according to Sean Ross Sapp during a Fightful Select Q&A. WWE kept Ciampa in a storyline with Ilja Dragunov until late in his deal that made him look good on television. Ciampa debuted in AEW last week and won the TNT Championship from Mark Briscoe in his first match.
According to a Fightful Select Q&A, WWE's belief as of the start of the year was that Brock Lesnar was planned for SummerSlam 2026, which is set for Minnesota. Sean Ross Sapp reported this information but noted he wasn't sure whether WWE would tie it into a retirement angle. Lesnar appeared at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia but did not win the match, and had a run-in with Oba Femi during the event.
Fans at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia chanted "We Want Vince" and "You f**ed up" at Triple H during the post-show segment, but WWE sources indicate there has been no internal reaction backstage to the crowd hostility. According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, Triple H has faced similar negative crowd reactions since WWE introduced the permanent post-show format at SummerSlam 2025, including chants of "AEW" and "You f**ed up" after John Cena's retirement match in December 2025. Despite the repeated incidents, WWE has no plans to scale back Triple H's post-show involvement or adjust the format.
