Triple H named head of WWE creative

WWE announced Vince McMahon’s retirement on Friday (July 23) after trading closed on Wall Street. To start the new business week, they announced a new role for Paul “Triple H” Levesque — and its one that will please a lot of fans, and send a message to investors about continuity in Stamford after the company’s long-time leader stepped down amidst a hush money scandal. It also answers some questions about the power plays we’ve heard whispers about.

Triple H will lead creative, taking over for his father-in-law. The news was announced in a press release confirming that Levesque’s wife Stephanie will serve as new co-CEO with former President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan.
