Nick Khan: Vince McMahon & Triple H Are Going To Communicate On WWE Creative

Nick Khan says that Triple H and Vince McMahon will communicate about WWE creative

A lot of the talk since WrestleMania 39 and the WWE sale to Endeavor has been the status of Vince McMahon within WWE’s creative. After reports of him being in control of the Raw after WrestleMania with a lot of rewrites, it seems as though it has gone back to relative normality with Triple H being the man behind the desk at weekly shows. 

WWE’s CEO Nick Khan commented on the creative input from Vince McMahon and how the system now supposedly works between him and Triple H. He spoke in an interview with LightShed Live on this topic; 

"On Monday [April 3], when this deal was officially announced, Vince sent out a company-wide email to our thousand or so employees, including myself, and in the email he laid out the structure of the NewCo. Specifically, he articulated that Paul Levesque remains the sole Chief Creative Officer. Sole. How does that work? Does that mean that technically because I'm in charge of the business side of the business that I don't seek input from other people. I wouldn't seek input from Vince McMahon, who created this entire empire? That would be a mistake on my behalf. Paul and Vince, a family relationship, a relationship that spans back to the mid-90s. Paul is in charge of creative. If he wants input from Vince or Vince has ideas that he and Paul are going to communicate, that's always going to be the case. We're lucky to have Vince. We're lucky to have Paul in control of creative. We're lucky that the set up that Vince created, that the company could continue to exist, even when Vince stepped out for that five month period, the company kept flowing. We think the best organizations are set up that way and that's the way Vince set up WWE.”

This may be a bit of a vague answer, but it seems to confirm previous statements made by the likes of McMahon who said that he would be somewhat involved in the WWE creative process going forwards, but wouldn’t be the man making every single call.
