Triple H Announced As New Head Of WWE Creative

Along with confirming the appointment of Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan as Co-CEOs, WWE announced today that Triple H is the new head of creative in the company.

WWE issued the following press release, which states in part: 

"STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WWE® (NYSE: WWE) and its Board of Directors today announced the appointment of Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan as co-Chief Executive Officers. Ms. McMahon has also been appointed Chairwoman of the Board, and Mr. Khan will continue to serve as a member of the Board. These appointments follow Vince McMahon's retirement announcement on Friday, July 22.

"'We are grateful for the opportunity to lead WWE together with our unmatched management team,' said Ms. McMahon and Mr. Khan. 'We recognize this is a tremendous opportunity and responsibility, and we look forward to serving the WWE Universe.'

"Additionally, WWE executive Paul Levesque will assume all responsibilities related to WWE’s creative, in addition to his regular duties."

It was initially reported that Bruce Prichard was the new head of WWE creative following Vince McMahon's retirement on Friday but that is ultimately not the case. 

Along with his new creative responsibilities, Triple H is also the new Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, having taken over the role shortly before McMahon announced he was retiring. 

The Game does have experience with creative in WWE, having headed up NXT for several years before he suffered from major heart issues in September of 2021. He returned to work in a different role earlier this year and announced his retirement from in-ring action.
