Triple H approaches Braun Strowman backstage and says he knows what he’s trying to do, but he can’t replace Sami Zayn in the ladder match tonight by taking him out. Braun says he has no idea what Triple H is talking about. HHH says he won’t take any further actions or call the police, but as a professional and his boss, he asks that he leave the building. Braun says “whatever” and walks off. So I’m guessing it was Sullivan who attacked Zayn.
