Fans in Saudi Arabia weren't universally positive towards WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque following the 2026 Royal Rumble, as the 56-year-old had "We want Vince" and "You f*cked up" chants aimed at him during the Royal Rumble post-show.

Triple H didn't acknowledge the chants during the post-show, and Sean Ross Sapp noted on a Fightful Select Answers Q&A that there has been no internal reaction to the "We want Vince" chants within WWE.

Negative remarks towards Triple H have been common at pay-per-view post-shows since the new format was made permanent at SummerSlam 2025. Fans were notably furious following John Cena's retirement match on the December 13, 2025 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event which saw HHH receive huge boos, before fans chanted "You f*cked up" and "AEW" during the SNME post-show. Sean Ross Sapp noted the reaction the last few times Triple H has received negative chants was very much, "Well, Triple H didn't want to be in a room full of media, and this was what he got instead."

Vince McMahon has been gone from WWE since he resigned as TKO Executive Chairman in disgrace in January 2024 after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing McMahon of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and physical and emotional abuse.

Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO are also being sued by seven former ring boys who have alleged the defendants were aware of the sexual abuse carried out by Mel Phillips but did nothing to prevent or stop it.
