Update on the Current WWE Creative Process – In recent days, there has been significant discussion surrounding the handling of creative aspects within WWE.
Last year, there was a noteworthy shift in creative leadership as Triple H took over the main roster creative responsibilities from Vince McMahon. This transition occurred as Vince McMahon stepped down, primarily due to his involvement in a hush money scandal. Throughout the year, Triple H has played a pivotal role in shaping creative direction, even though McMahon returned to the board of the company in January.
Despite this change, there have been instances where elements on TV seemed to align with McMahon’s creative preferences, suggesting his continued involvement in certain aspects of WWE’s creative process.
Recent reports indicate that Vince McMahon is no longer actively engaged in the creative side of the business, and the prevailing belief among talent is that Triple H has been granted a more prominent role in creative decision-making, essentially being “knighted” by Endeavor, the parent company of WWE. It is suggested that Triple H will now be the driving force behind approximately 99.9% of the creative direction moving forward.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided insight into the current creative process. He noted, “Regarding the creative process, right now, Paul Levesque is the person in charge. He’s the one making all the key decisions. Bruce Prichard is a conduit between creative, talent relations, and talent services. Ed Koskey is the operations person who keeps the scripts flowing.”
However, it’s important to note that, although Vince McMahon has temporarily stepped away from the creative side, it’s emphasized that he remains the individual with the highest authority and power within the company. The status of his involvement in creative may change in the future, but for now, Triple H appears to be the central figure driving the creative direction of WWE.
