Jonathan Coachman just dropped a bombshell prediction—and if he’s right, Triple H’s time running WWE could be coming to an end sooner than fans think.

Speaking on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, Coachman claimed that there’s a serious power struggle brewing inside TKO, one that could eventually push Paul “Triple H” Levesque out of WWE altogether. According to him, personal tension between Triple H and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a major factor.

“From my time there and my time with The Rock, I know for a fact that he does not get along with Triple H. That does not go away. They’ve always been butting heads for years and years for a lot of different reasons.”

Coachman didn’t stop there. He said he’s spoken to multiple people close to the situation and believes there’s real movement behind the scenes to remove Triple H from his current creative role.

“The reason I said on my show there’s a big power struggle—well, first of all, I’ve talked to two people close to the situation… I can’t tell you who they are, but I’ve got really good intel.”

He then made a bold prediction that Triple H’s time leading WWE creatively is on borrowed time.

“We predicted that within 18 months, Triple H will not be running WWE anymore. I actually feel kind of bad for him because I’ve always really, really liked him.”

Coachman used WrestleMania 40 weekend as evidence that Triple H might be overreaching. He pointed to the length of Triple H’s Hall of Fame speech and the decision to give himself a special entrance—while WWE legends like Bret Hart and Steve Austin were treated as background.

“You’re going to disrespect Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin and walk them out with everybody else to give a wave to the crowd, and you get your own water music entrance right next to those guys?”

According to Coachman, The Rock—now a TKO board member—could be eyeing his longtime creative ally Brian Gewirtz as a replacement for Triple H in WWE’s top spot.

If these predictions come true, WWE’s creative power structure could be flipped upside down. The tension between longtime rivals might be creeping from the ring straight into the boardroom.
