5 Drastic changes Triple H could make in WWE if he takes creative control from Vince McMahon

WWE has managed to establish unmatched dominance in the pro-wrestling business and continue to rule the industry. Vince McMahon, who has worked hard to make the promotion what it is today, should be credited for his foresight.

However, the changing times have had its effect on the sports entertainment industry as well which has often led to fans questioning the decisions made by the owner of the company in recent times.

It is widely believed that Triple H is next in line to run the business and will eventually take the reins of the company in his hand once Vince retires. His success with NXT has convinced the WWE Universe that he is the right man to lead the promotion in the future. And when that happens, a lot of things will change in WWE.

Apart from booking better storylines and removing the ‘yes men’ from behind the scenes, there are several other alterations that will happen in the company once Triple H takes over the control of WWE.

In this list, we will take a look at the five most drastic changes that we will see in WWE once The Game starts calling the creative shots of the business. So, without further ado, let’s dig right in.

#5 More focus on ‘sports’ in Sports Entertainment

'The Game' has his own set of preferences

It’s a known fact that Triple H prefers to pay more attention to the ‘sport’ aspect of the ‘sports entertainment’ business. Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho, who is now working with All Elite Wrestling, openly spoke about the biggest difference between Vince McMahon and Triple H when it comes to their respective approaches towards the business.

Jericho stated that ‘The Game’ prefers to add realistic elements of sport in wrestling as opposed to Vince who is more inclined towards the entertainment aspect of the business.

With Triple H as the head of the creative control in WWE, the fans can expect to see more and more intense fights on a regular basis.

As is clear from NXT, Triple H prefers to have the in-ring action dictate most of the story. That, in turn, helps keep the fans invested in the feuds even if they have multiple chapters added to them.

After all, a good match can guarantee entertainment but every dramatic or scandalous segment doesn’t guarantee good feuds.

#4 Skills over stature

Skills take precedence over stature

It is no secret that Vince McMahon has prejudice towards Superstars who are heavily built. He prefers wrestlers who have a ‘huge’ stature and often pushes them as ‘Beasts’ and ‘Monsters’.

This is one of the biggest reasons why most of the ‘top Superstars’ of the company have similar built – tall and muscular with overall intimidating performance.

While focusing only on Superstars of such stature might have worked in the past, the times have changed in recent years.

More and more Superstars, who aren’t built as conventional champions, have taken over the business with their impressive skills. Unfortunately, things have remained the same in WWE to an extent.

Despite their popularity amidst the fans, the Superstars of smaller stature never receive a push similar to the likes of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. However, this will change if Triple H is the one calling the shots backstage.

We have seen wrestlers like Finn Balor, Johnny Gargano, and Adam Cole receive a huge push on NXT and the same will happen on the main roster with ‘The Game’ in charge.

#3 More reliance on organic push

Even the 'Big Dog' will have to earn his way into a title feud

One of the biggest criticisms that WWE has faced in recent years is the creative’s obsession with one wrestler and their reluctance to look over their preferred names.

This holds true in the case of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar who often end up in the bad book of the WWE Universe owing to their continuous push at the cost of other talents.

Triple H, on the other hand, prefers to strike the rod when the iron is hot. In the long history of the NXT, we have often seen the wrestlers getting a push, based on their momentum and not on their history.

This is a much better approach towards booking the matches as the ever-changing momentum allows the writers to come up with fresh feuds and the fans don’t have to see the same faces again and again.

Moreover, using the organic push to build-up a wrestler works wonders in keeping the fans invested. This allows them to feel that they are a part of the storyline which brings them closer to the overall product.

Triple H will do the same across all three brands of WWE when he takes over which will then lead to the creation of a lot of more interesting rivalries.

#2 Long term story-telling

Everybody likes a good revenge story

WWE rarely has long term story-telling on RAW or SmackDown. Kofi Kingston’s feud with Randy Orton last year and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt’s ongoing feud with John Cena were not planned long before and certainly gained hype due to the coincidence.

While the creative managed to bring the past altercations in the above-mentioned feuds, it forced the creative to dig deep into the history to establish a connection.

Short-lived feuds seem to be a more common theme in WWE nowadays. And if we actually get to see a lengthy feud, it often ends up turning stale within a span of few weeks.

However, this is only limited to RAW and SmackDown. NXT, on the other hand, has had several long-term bookings and the black and gold brand has done wonders in executing them with perfection.

The feud between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa or something as recent as Dakota Kai’s heel turn speaks volumes about the dedication of the NXT creative towards building-up intense storylines.

Much to the relief of the fans, developing engaging feuds over the course of a few months and delivering well-planned feuds would become a common occurrence across all three brands once ‘The Game’ takes over the creative control of WWE.

#1 Revised role of the authority

Triple H would want to avoid unnecessary interference

The manner in which the ‘authority’ functions on RAW and SmackDown is completely different from the way it functions on NXT.

On the Red and the Blue brand, we often see the authority figures interfering in storylines that see an unexpected Superstar rising through the ranks – mainly with the objective of adding obstacles to their path.

Under Triple H, however, the role of authority is minimized to booking matches. Taking William Regal, the General Manager of NXT, for example. He has been in this role for the last six years and yet, he only comes out when he needs to announce a match to settle a brawl.

This allows the Superstars to continue with the momentum that they have gained without compromising with the credibility of those sitting behind the curtain, calling the shots.

Of course, the interference from the authorities makes for entertaining angles but overusing that angle has led to predictable results in the past.

This will be one of the biggest changes in WWE when Triple H takes over, allowing the creative to save the interferences from the bosses for times when there appears to be no legit contender.
