I agree that on RAW Triple H's word seems to mean very little. But I'm also not even sure how true that is. I think Triple H burns Vince constantly because his vision of his guys is not the same as Vince's vision of the same guys. I think Triple H pushed Jason Jordan - which admittedly to me felt like a smart choice - and Jordan has already started to collapse because RAW doesn't get what Jason Jordan is. Now that Triple H (supposedly) is taking a more active hand in Smackdown (this last week really felt like it, although Jinder is the Vince Project), I have to say that Owens' success is probably owed to Triple H. He's got the marquee storyline.

On RAW, Bayley has failed. Sasha has failed. Joe has found success (but he would have anyways). Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are becoming toothless and dull. At the same time, non Triple H guys are equally as dull. Who is exciting on RAW? Braun, a character that seems to only be well-written because he's a teflon dummy that charges at everything and wins (and also feuded with the most hated guy on the show). If you book Asuka like she was booked, it will work. Let's be honest - the APWT doesn't like Nakamura that much anymore, but he is over with the crowds in the same way he was over in NXT (not to the same degree but even in NXT he started to lose some of the massive support he had at the start).

My point is, Triple H shows Vince these shiny toys, but Vince doesn't get how they work. Then he throws them aside when he can't make them do the cool things Triple H showed him on the playground. I don't think it's a Triple H thing, I think it's a Vince and Creative thing. Probably a Kevin Dunn thing too. I think Triple H's backing is pretty important, and it can consistently poise people for the push that could make their career - it's the failing machine at the top that can't figure out how to get people over.
