During a recent appearance on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story” podcast, Nick Khan discussed the lessons he and Triple H are learning as they navigate their business mistakes. The WWE President said,
“Same with business, and if you make a mistake in the decision, that’s okay too. Fix it. No issue. Paul (Levesque) and I, Triple H and I, we make mistakes in business every day. The good thing is we have one another, where we can say, ‘I think I did this. What do you think?’ ‘Ah, I don’t think that was the move. Maybe we could think of it the other way.’ ‘Okay, let’s try that,’ and then to the executive committee meeting — the executive committee part of me, the senior leadership team will say, ‘Hey, this got messed up. We’re gonna pivot,’ we’re gonna do X, Y and Z instead and everyone rolls in the same direction.”
During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry evaluated the segment from last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown featuring Naomi and WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
Henry noted that Naomi received bigger pops than Stratton and criticized the current momentum loss of Tiffany’s title run.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Naomi getting bigger reactions than Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown: “I don’t think it’s happened. There’s an example, several examples, of championship caliber wrestlers being hot as fish grease, and then a month later, they … [fade].”
On the importance of a champion maintaining momentum: “You have to keep the momentum going in a way that is conducive with that character or person, keeping your attention, but also, if you lose, you should lose because there was a cheating moment or you should lose because a serious injury happened and you caught and pinned, the referee got bumped.”
On what he thinks is hurting Stratton’s title run right now: “Tiffany is not having moments where she wins and loses by exciting things happening. Things that further along her greatness and her abilities, and that’s gotta change, otherwise she’s going to be one of those characters that become forgotten.”
