Report: WWE Talents Paranoid Following Vince McMahon's Return To Creative

After two years of cuts under Vince McMahon, Triple H brought back a whole host of former WWE talents after he was appointed as Chief Content Officer, re-signing the likes of Emma, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, Hit Row, Mia Yim, Johnny Gargano, Tegan Nox, and Candice LeRae, among others in 2022. 

Many of the talents brought back have largely bulked out the WWE roster, with very few of them receiving pushes on TV. Since their returns too, Triple H has found himself out as the head of WWE creative, with Vince McMahon having re-established himself at the head of the creative food chain since the Raw after WrestleMania 39. 

As of last word, Triple H was still writing the shows with Bruce Prichard and WWE's creative team. Vince McMahon is remotely overseeing creative and getting involved with booking the main event picture. 

McMahon's return to the top of creative has been a cause for concern within WWE, with PWInsider Elite reporting there has "been a slightly bubbling paranoia among talents in the last few weeks", mainly among wrestlers who Triple H brought back in 2022 and aren't receiving pushes at the moment. They are reportedly fearful about being relegated to the undercard and potentially being high on the list of talents to be let go should WWE decide to make cuts. 

Sources within WWE creative stated there have been no edicts to suggest re-signed wrestlers will find themselves languishing on the undercard but that hasn't stopped paranoia from spreading within WWE. Talents also find themselves "walking on eggshells" again following McMahon's return.
