Rumor Mill - Triple H Pushing Drew McIntyre; Issues with R-Truth and Camouflage
Sources say Triple H is quite high on Drew McIntyre and is one of the driving forces behind the young wrestler’s current push. On the subject of McIntyre’s Hell in a Cell opponent, there was apparently a minor backstage issue involving R-Truth prior to their match last week.
According to reports, as R-Truth was preparing to go out to the ring, he was told he had to take off the camouflage vest he was wearing as camouflage is now associated with the DX tag team. The wrestler approached Stephanie McMahon about the complaint (which presumably came from a producer); McMahon, the wife of DX member Triple H, said that he should probably discuss the issue with Hunter.
At that point, R-Truth decided to just abandon the wardrobe item as he headed to the ring for his match.
