As we previously reported here on eWn, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has been put solely in control of WWE creative, while Vince McMahon has “backed off.”
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has shared additional details regarding McMahon’s ousting from WWE creative, including the backstage reaction to recent events. Dave Meltzer wrote,
“One person close to the situation said that Emanuel has a vision for how he can use the worldwide notoriety of McMahon, and that vision doesn’t include him micro-managing the weekly television shows.”
“This is all subject to change, and if there is a downturn in popularity, the idea of Vince being back in the spot isn’t inconceivable, but it’s not likely to happen now. For a long time there was fear that the loss of McMahon, because he was the man who built the business, could cause the stock price to decline. But when McMahon left the company, and brand popularity continued to increase, that fear Wall Street once had was alleviated. If anything, when McMahon returned in January, the stock price was more likely to drop, except he returned and brought up selling the company, which led to excitement around the stock and a rise in price.”
While McMahon had been making remote changes for quite some time, that practice has ceased to exist under the leadership of Triple H.
At present, the only last-minute creative changes made to the shows have been due to clearance issues and not storyline alterations.

In recent news, it has been reported that Paul “Triple H” Levesque has taken over control of WWE creative, while Vince McMahon has stepped back from his previous role. This development has sparked interest and speculation among wrestling fans and insiders alike. Let’s delve into the details and explore the backstage reaction to this significant change.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, McMahon’s ousting from WWE creative has been met with mixed reactions. One insider revealed that Ari Emanuel, the new head of WWE’s parent company, has a vision for utilizing McMahon’s worldwide notoriety, but it does not involve him micro-managing the weekly television shows. This suggests that McMahon’s reduced involvement in creative decisions is part of a larger strategy to leverage his brand and influence in different ways.
It is important to note that this situation is subject to change, especially if there is a downturn in popularity. While McMahon’s return to a more prominent role is not inconceivable, it is unlikely to happen in the near future. Previously, there were concerns that McMahon’s departure from the company could negatively impact the stock price. However, when McMahon left and the brand’s popularity continued to grow, those fears were alleviated. In fact, McMahon’s return in January and his discussions about selling the company generated excitement among investors and led to a rise in the stock price.
Under Triple H’s leadership, McMahon’s remote changes to WWE shows have ceased to exist. The decision-making process now primarily rests with Triple H and his team. Any last-minute creative changes made to the shows are typically due to clearance issues rather than storyline alterations. This shift in power suggests that Triple H has been entrusted with the responsibility of shaping WWE’s creative direction.
