As we previously reported here on eWn, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has usurped a major creative role in WWE by driving 99.9% of the company’s creative direction.
Triple H has been “knighted” by the Endeavor group while Executive Chairman of TKO Group Holdings Vince McMahon no longer remains involved with the creative side of WWE.
On today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that McMahon has “backed off” on the creative process and Triple H is the man in charge now. He said,
“That’s how it was described to me, for now he’s backed off. He still has the power – if he wants to change something, he will. But right now he’s pretty much backed off on that. So what you’re seeing right now is pretty much, what I was told, 99% or whatever, 95%, Paul Levesque. I mean, (Vince is) still around, and there’s probably gonna be input when it comes to main event programs and things like that going forward, but right now, it is mostly the Paul Levesque show now as far as what’s going on on TV and everything.”
McMahon was named as the Executive Chairman of the Board of TKO following the WWE-UFC merger last month.
