Triple H has become the target of the anger of WWE fans, dissatisfied with his work as head of the company's creative department. A role that has been exposed to the public in "WWE Unreal," the popular Netflix series that reveals the secrets that await backstage at the company.

Despite the criticism, the roster as a whole continues to publicly support the WWE Chief Creative Officer. The latest to do so has been The Miz, who in a recent interview with Sam Roberts on Not Sam Wrestling, explained how difficult it is to stay five steps ahead when crafting stories.

"Many of the veterans are not fans of Unreal. I love it. I love it because it allows people to appreciate exactly how hard we work to make everything look smooth and simple, but you don't really understand what goes on behind the scenes. Unreal can only take you so far. You don't really know much about it, but I feel like now the fans have a greater appreciation for the work of a WWE superstar and all that it entails. Not just the work of a WWE superstar, but our production as a whole," he said.

"Like Triple H, the person behind it all. Triple H has to think five steps ahead of everyone, and no one gives him credit for it. They don't understand how difficult that position is. They just throw things at him: 'Why didn't this happen? Why couldn't they do that?'. There are domino effects that you don't understand. Even I, when I'm doing my own thing, involved and thinking: 'Why can't we do this?', I get the response: 'If we do this, XYZ will come crashing down. Do you have any other ideas?'", he concluded.
