We have more details on the recently reported backstage tension between Vince McMahon and Triple H, which apparently got worse with Shane McMahon returning to the company.

Apparently Triple H tried to downplay how much of a star Shane was before he came back, and how big of a reaction he would receive from the crowd. Triple H also was vocal about not seeing Shane as a legitimate contender for The Undertaker, especially inside Hell In a Cell. However, Vince McMahonhas been confident in the match.

Some are under the impression that Triple H doesn’t want Shane involved anywhere in WWE after the WrestleMania 32 program, as an on-air talent or an executive. This is another example of the difference in opinions between Vince and Triple H. Vince has reportedly been under pressure to go ahead and name his successor and with people wondering if Triple H is the one for the job, situations like this, their opinions on NXT and the incident we just reported on with Triple H not catching a Michael Cole error on RAW don’t help his case.

Another reason Triple H might not want Shane around is that Vince sees Shane as leverage when it comes to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon taking their positions and futures for granted. Vince doesn’t like how some people just assume Triple H will be in charge one day.

On a related note, Dean Ambrose recently had a RAW segment where he asked Triple H if he liked Shane. That line was direct from Vince and reportedly upset Triple H.

The WrestleMania 32 booking has added to the tension between Triple H and Vince as Vince really wanted The Rock in a match and feels like the company didn’t do whatever possible to get Rock booked. Triple H kept assuring Vince that they would be fine with just a non-wrestling appearance by Rock, which led to the creative that saw Triple H win the WWE World Heavyweight Title so he could defend it against Roman Reigns in Sunday’s main event.

What error is this? I clearly wasn't paying attention.

I think it was Cole neglecting to mention that Lana hit Brie with Brie's own finisher

really? among all the crap that Cole says, this was a problem?

Because that crap that Cole says is exactly what Vince wants him to say. This was Cole not saying something that Vince wanted him to say. (And in fairness to Cole, I, too had forgotten that it was Brie's finisher as well until I started looking up every single woman to have ever used the move).

...I honestly didn't even realize it was Brie's move. So it clearly wasn't really an issue, just Vince being weird.
