If you are a follower of Triple H on social media, you know that he usually takes a photo backstage with WWE stars after they accomplish something. Sometimes it is a debut and sometimes it is a championship victory.

Triple H was recently a guest on the McMahonsplaining podcast hosted by Uproxx. During the interview, he explained why he takes photos with stars backstage. Here is what he said:

“You know why I take pictures with everybody? Because I’m more famous. When I do that, and I take a picture, just on Twitter alone I got six million people that see it when I tap that picture. I make them something bigger, and that’s the attempt.”

He also explained why he doesn’t take pictures with some talent:

“When they don’t need it, I don’t stand next to them anymore. When people ask me, ‘Well, why didn’t you stand next to that guy when he won the title on SmackDown?’ He doesn’t need it. He didn’t need that promotion. If I can help them, I help them. If I can take them to another level, I try to take them to another level. That’s what this is all about, creating the future. If I can do that, and help create the future, then I do.”

He also says the photo is the last thing he wants to do, but he has to do it:

“When I don’t need to step into that, I’m happy to step out of it. Trust me, when they come to get me to shoot that picture when I’m pointing at the guy, it is the last thing I possibly want to do at that moment in time, is go take that picture, but I have to do it.”
