As WWE’s new chief creative officer, Triple H hopes to make communication easier for talent.
Over the past month, the world of professional wrestling has been rocked by a major scandal. Vince McMahon was revealed to have paid over $14 million in hush money following sexual misconduct with employees. Last Friday, McMahon announced that he would be stepping down from his position as CEO of WWE. In his place are his daughter Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan, the new co-CEOs of WWE.
Paul Levesque, better known by his ring name Triple H, now leads WWE’s creative team. While he remains to be seen what exactly WWE will look like under Triple H’s control, he reportedly already has a vision for how the company will operate in the future.
Triple H’s encounter with the talent
Prior to tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Triple H held a backstage meeting with the roster. According to Fightful Select, the meeting laid the groundwork for Triple H’s intentions with the main roster going forward.
Triple H promised the talent more transparency in the future, including open lines of communication. This has been a problem for WWE in recent years; The talent would sometimes have to wait hours outside of Vince McMahon’s office to talk to him. Triple H also told the talent during the meeting that he wants the job to be fun.
According to Fightful’s report, the meeting went smoothly and was well received. The talent is said to be feeling optimistic now that Triple H is in charge.
If Triple H means what he said to WWE talent tonight, then things could be looking up for the company. Hopefully, WWE’s new regime can get through this rough patch and find brighter days ahead.
