Triple H sat down with Michael Cole for yet another in-character interview and while the proceedings are done in kayfabe, they also shed some light on the direction the company is going in and the interview bares credence to some rumors that have been circulating for weeks.

Seth Rollins hinted on Main Event that there would be a second Ladder Match added to Money in the Bank on June 29 at the TD Garden in Boston and that he "had it on good authority" that he'd be in the match, which will be for a contract good for a title shot within the next year.

"I can confirm the match," Triple H said. "Like it states: Money in the Bank. Somebody will have the opportunity to climb a ladder and pull a contract down that gives them a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship whenever they want. And I can confirm that Seth Rollins will be in this match."
Triple H also addressed the fact that Roman Reigns and John Cena advanced to the other Ladder Match for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the pay-per-view. Reigns won a battle royal while Cena defeated Kane in a Stretcher Match to earn the right to join Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Cesaro and Bray Wyatt in the match.
Cole asked Triple H about being unhappy that Vickie Guerrero -- who was vomited on by Stephanie McMahon earlier on in the show after Reigns tampered with her coffee -- gave Reigns and Cena a chance to get into the match after "The Game" and his wife left the building.
Triple H gave an answer that makes it seem like Guerrero's tenure with the WWE is nearing an end as it has been rumored she's leaving the company to pursue outside interests soon. Triple H was asked if he was unhappy about what happened Monday and said it will be addressed on next week's Monday Night RAW.
"Am I not happy with somebody's gross incompetence? Somebody who can't even get a simple cup of coffee," Triple H said. "To say I'm unhappy would be a massive understatement and that situation will be dealt with on Monday."
It is likely Guerrero will be leaving the WWE after Monday's show, and Triple H continued to hint that the Authority may fire her as a way to write her off television.
"I gave a lot of people opportunities. Vickie Guerrero took it upon herself to give Roman Reigns an opportunity that I didn't want him to have," the COO said. "He didn't deserve it because he's a cancer in the locker room...He defies authority."
Triple H also defended him awarding Orton a spot in the Ladder Match without a qualifying match because Orton never had a rematch after he lost the belt to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX in a triple threat match that also involved Batista.
Triple H said Bryan had "no heart" as Bryan's slow recovery from neck surgery caused the WWE to vacate the title. "The Game" said Reigns and Cena are far from winning the gold.
"John Cena, Roman Reigns...all of them are a long way away from climbing a ladder at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and reaching the pinnacle of this industry...Walking up that ladder and grabbing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and earning the honor to tell the world that you are the best," Triple H said.
Money in the Bank 2014 airs live from the TD Garden in Boston on Sunday June 29 and a new champion will be crowned.
