Fans have noticed a shift in the dynamics of storytelling since Triple H took over as head of WWE Creative. Storylines don’t feel as rushed any more, and are being given time to breathe. This has been a welcome change for the talent, and that includes Baron Corbin.
Corbin, who recently moved over to RAW, spoke on the Johnny Dare Morning Show last week. He discussed the changes in the creative dynamic.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Triple H’s changes to Monday Night RAW: “The show has gotten new energy, new life, and for me being on Monday nights, I’m still adjusting and being on the new schedule, getting into the roster and digging into who we can work with and who we want to beat up and who has the most punchable face, besides me. It’s fun, it’s nice, we’re not rushing anything. That’s one thing I love about Triple H, he’s a firm believer in ‘it’s a marathon, not a race [sprint].’ He likes to slow-play things, and he doesn’t just waste people. If you don’t have something that is a big-time play or move on television, he’s like, ‘Then you don’t need to be out there because it’s not good to just be out there.’ You want to have a purpose every time you go on television.”
How he’s adjusting to the new pace of the show: “It’s still a lot of things for me to get used to where he’s like, ‘Hey, stay at home with your family this weekend, enjoy the weekend.’ Wait, what? He’s a guy that really wants his talent and the families to be happy. Vince (McMahon) is the same as well, but his mentality is ‘go, go, go.’ That’s how he is, he’s incredible, he works out at 3 AM, he’s a machine and expects everyone else around him to be a machine. Everybody in WWE is capable of that, but it is nice to step back. I just took a cruise and was on a boat for seven days.”
