Triple H is EVP of Talent Relations and Head of Creative and the announcement was made after Vince McMahon recently announced his retirement from his roles as Chairman and CEO of WWE. It was later clarified that he was also done with his work on creative. Some reports have emerged regarding his backstage performance as well. It was revealed that Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan will serve as Co-CEOs of WWE. Several speculations have come upon regarding ‘The Game making some changes to the presentation of WWE shows.
Triple H is likely to focus on pro wrestling rather than sports entertainment
During The Gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina, the legendary promoter Jerry Jarrett (father of Jeff Jarrett) was asked what he thinks will change in WWE now with Triple H running the creative side of things. Jarrett shared some news that he likely heard from someone who works in WWE.
Jarrett said the following:
“They didn’t tell me not to tell anybody. So I’ll tell you, Hunter called, this week, the Raw crew and the Smackdown crew and said, ‘My father-in-law and Stephanie’s father….We admire him and we respect him. He reached success that we would never know without him, but we don’t know how to do it his way, and we’re not going to try. We’re going to try a new way.’… and I think the new way is to put wrestling instead of sports entertainment. I mean, I that’s pure speculation on my part.”
WWE has already begun to change their weekly television; this week, it was clear that they have removed the silly segments. There was no 24/7 Title segment on Raw. Several released talent has been brought back. Thus far, Dakota Kai, IYO SHIRAI, and Karrion Kross (with Scarlett) are being pushed into top storylines on their respective brands. It’s also expected that more former talent will be asked about returning.
