To only drop the belt to Triple H the very next night on RAW?

Wasn’t it because Storm front Steve refused to put Triple H over

Austin was hyper political when he was on top and it never gets brought up.

He flat refused to put over Trips to make another guy. They had to use Foley as a transition.

Also never once put over The Rock for the belt, and turned heel in 2001 to prolong his run on top instead of stepping aside for The Rock.

I think the “explanation” was they didn’t want Jesse Ventura posing with a heel in Triple H to end the PPV so they gave it to Mick and have Trips go over the next night.

But I’ll believe that Austin didn’t want to lose to Trips one on one, thus Mick getting added to the match.

Big Show spoke about Austin’s politicking on the Stone Cold podcast but glossed it over as him having a great eye for what was best for business
