Top 8 Female Wrestlers Both Triple H And Vince Love And 7 They Disagree On
15 CHARLOTTE FLAIR (AGREE): WOOOO! If there was ever a female WWE Superstar that both Vince McMahon and Triple H can agree on, it's former WWE Divas Champion, four-time Raw Women's Champion and current first-time SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair.
The name Flair carries a lot of weight with Triple H, who idolized Ric Flair, and with Vince McMahon who maintains a good relationship with The Nature Boy.
Charlotte might have the Flair lineage, but she also has a couple of other qualities that appeal her to Vince and Triple H. For Vince, Charlotte has that beautiful athletic physique that he expects from all of his female wrestlers.
For Triple H, even despite the Flair name, Charlotte is a product of Triple H's baby, NXT. Charlotte is a big reason for the success of the current Women's Division and the "Women's Revolution." Triple H has Charlotte to tout that success.
14 SASHA BANKS (DISAGREE): For some bizarre reason, Vince McMahon has it in for Sasha Banks. She's a four-time Raw Women's Champion, but Sasha has always played second fiddle to Charlotte or Bayley and now Alexa Bliss.
Despite being super-over and breaking many firsts for the WWE Women's Division, Vince has always been reluctant to give Sasha the super-push she deserves. Even though Vince hasn't warmed to Sasha, Triple H likely doesn't feel the same way.
Like Charlotte, Triple H feels a sense of pride and appreciation for Sasha Banks who was just as important to the success of the NXT Women's Division and current Women's Revolution as Charlotte.
While both agree Charlotte is the ideal candidate to lead the Women's Division, with Charlotte leading the SmackDown Women's Division, the feeling isn't mutual with Sasha who's alone on Raw.
Vince sees more potential in Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss, and unfortunately for Sasha, the real "Boss" isn't her. 13 RONDA ROUSEY (AGREE): Despite being a rival to WWE, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are both big fans of UFC.
Though Triple H has made the differences between WWE and UFC pretty clear, he's also not afraid to show up at UFC events. As a result, Triple H and Stephanie are also huge fans of Ronda Rousey and had Rousey appear at WrestleMania to give a big arm drag to Stephanie herself.
While Triple H is a big fan, Vince is no fool either. He sees the dollar signs Ronda Rousey can bring to WWE, and he's not going to let her popularity pass by. Bringing Rousey, and others like her, into the WWE is already underway with a planned Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen angle in the works.
12 BAYLEY (DISAGREE): Bayley is like the other members of the Four Horsewomen in WWE, as she was a huge part in Triple H's NXT and was built up to be a big deal there. Unfortunately, Vince hasn't been hugged enough because he sees Bayley the same way he sees Sasha. Vince hasn't been as impressed with Bayley as he is apparently with Charlotte.
Despite being super over and highly marketable, Bayley has suffered some inexplicable and damaging losses. However, Triple H isn't going to agree with his father-in-law with Bayley. Triple H knows how to market and build Bayley up. He has seen what Bayley is capable of and knows she's just as important to the Women's Division as Charlotte.
Now, if only Vince would get out of the way and let Triple H show the world how good Bayley can be, the Division could have even more depth.
11 ALEXA BLISS (AGREE): Although she doesn't carry any lineage from her name, Alexa Bliss is beloved by Vince and Triple H for the same reasons they like Charlotte.
The Goddess is incredibly beautiful with excellent mic skills, which both cater to Vince. At the same time, Bliss also comes from Triple H's farm system, making Triple H looks like a savvy businessman himself.
10 MARIA KANELLIS (DISAGREE): To her credit, Maria Kanellis didn't use WWE to further her career in something else.
Maria left WWE and continued her wrestling career becoming the "First Lady of Professional Wrestling." Maria would be paired with her future husband Mike (Bennett) Kanellis where the couple brought their power of love to ROH and TNA/Impact.
The gimmick became quite popular, and Triple H took notice, bringing the power couple to WWE. While Triple H may be high on Mike and Maria Kanellis, Vince doesn't appear to be a fan.
9 BECKY LYNCH (AGREE): In the mind of Vince, the Four Horsewomen, Charlotte, Becky, Sasha and Bayley, have been hit or miss. However, Becky Lynch has been a hit for both Vince and Triple H.
Triple H has to be proud of the work his wrestlers have done in NXT, and Vince loves the international crowd that the Irish-born Becky Lynch brings to WWE.
8 LANA (DISAGREE): While Lana may have been in the doghouse for a while for posting pictures of her engagement, thus disrupting a storyline she was involved with, Lana still has the support of Vince McMahon.
Lana is separated from Rusev, has begun her wrestling career and has been given a gimmick that Vince believes fans cannot possibly hate. Unfortunately, the fans haven't exactly warmed up to Lana, and it's likely she hasn't warmed up to Triple H either.
7 SONYA DEVILLE (AGREE): Much in the same vein of Ronda Rousey, Sonya Deville has been brought into WWE with the hope of capitalizing on the popularity of mixed marital artists.
Triple H is definitely a fan of Deville's MMA work as well as her work in NXT, but Vince seems to be 100% behind the idea of a MMA vs WWE feud also. The look is definitely a huge factor as to whether or not Vince sees potential in a wrestler, and Deville definitely has the look that impresses the boss.
6 ALICIA FOX (DISAGREE): The longest-tenured female WWE performer, Alicia Fox has remained in the company with the backing of Vince McMahon and his most loyal servant, Vice President and Producer Kevin Dunn.
Dunn, for whatever reason, is a big fan of Alicia Fox and her crazy gimmick thus giving her nigh immunity to firing. While Foxy has been a solid performer, that fact that Dunn and Vince are so high on Fox has to annoy the COO.
5 CARMELLA (AGREE): Carmella signed to WWE, joined NXT and formed an alliance with Enzo and Big Cass. The trio became a big hit in NXT, and Carmella found herself on the main roster alone on SmackDown.
Triple H has always seemed high on Carmella, like many of his NXT call-ups, but Vince seems to be totally fine with Carmella's push also.
4 NIKKI BELLA (DISAGREE): The fact that Vince McMahon loves the Bellas shouldn't be a surprise. Vince brought the Bellas back, even though no one missed them, then, twice, gave them their own show.
Nikki received the honor of being the longest Divas Champion in WWE history, but also represented one of the worst times for the WWE Women's Division.
3 DANA BROOKE (AGREE): Despite Dana Brooke having an up and down career in WWE, she's a female wrestler both Vince and The Game see as a positive to the company. Vince looks at Dana and is reminded of Trish Stratus who, like Dana, became heavily involved with fitness prior to wrestling.
Dana may not be the greatest female wrestler, but she's got a superhero look that goes a long way with Mr McMahon.
2 ASUKA (DISAGREE): Let's be honest, in all likelihood, Vince McMahon has no idea who Asuka was before she was signed. Thankfully. Triple H looks up other wrestlers from time to time and isn't afraid to bring in talent that has succeeded elsewhere.
While there is no real reason to think Vince isn't a fan of Asuka, no one would be surprise if he soured on the Empress of Tomorrow from some dumb reason like he did with Shinsuke Nakamura.
1 NIA JAX (AGREE): Nia Jax has also suffered from some very unusual booking. Sometimes she's booked like a wrecking ball on the cusp of a huge push to the Raw Women's Title, and other times she's a stepping stone for Bayley and Sasha.
Despite this confusing stop-and-go pushing of Nia, she's solidly in the camp of female superstars that both Vince McMahon and Triple H agree on.
