The WWE fans stood in support of their COO while everyone at RAW went on strike. The following week, Triple H addressed the situation and said, “I will wrestle a broomstick for two hours, and that broomstick will give me a better match than half of the people out there on strike. Come hell or high water, I am giving you a show.” Right after that, superstars John Cena, Sheamus and even CM Punk walked to the ring and declared their support for him.

John Cena took digs at his previous bosses – Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff and Vicky Guerrero and said, “I am not saying that you are my best friend, but you are my boss, and I am staying.” Sheamus recalled when he stepped on Triple H’s toes and faced the consequences, but he also declared his support. The most surprising source of support was CM Punk, who had a reputation for being anti-establishment. Punk took responsibility for his words and how he stirred the pot many times when it comes to controversy in the WWE. “I know I am the last guy you would expect to see in the foxhole with you, but you know what? Here I am,” he said.

The four proceeded to give the audience a match between Sheamus and John Cena, as Triple H played the role of referee and Punk did the commentary. The match continued; Vince McMahon walked out and stopped the fight as he announced that Triple H will no longer be running Monday Night Raw.

Wrestlemania 41 will be held in Las Vegas on 19 and 20 April and will mark John Cena’s last Wrestlemania as he hope to win the WWE championship for a record 17th time.
