There is a large contingent of the WWE Universe that is completely prepared for the day Executive Vice President of Talent, Triple H, takes over control of WWE from Vince McMahon. Mr McMahon has done amazing things for the company and has turned the wrestling promotion into a sports entertainment behemoth. However, with his advancing age, there will come a day when it will become increasingly difficult for Mr McMahon to be as hands-on with the functioning of the company and its events as he is today.

Some might argue Triple H is in a better position to lead the company, as he arguably has a better understanding of the wants and needs of the WWE Universe. So, let's check out what changes Triple H would make to WWE if and when he is put in charge.


#5 Retire from in-ring competition

Getting to see Triple H wrestle these days is a treat. People may have differing views of the COO, but there is no denying the man is a living legend. He has been involved in some of the most memorable moments in WWE over the last few years, including Ronda Rousey's WWE debut. He tends to step into the squared circle to add some more star power to Wrestlemania season.

However, if he is given full control of WWE, it is immensely unlikely he will be able to take care of his other responsibilities and be an active in-ring competitor. Vince McMahon did not build and maintain an empire by working a 9-5 job and Triple H will have to follow suit as well. Juggling a family and his responsibilities as head of WWE is challenging enough; adding in-ring competition to the mix would find Triple H stretching himself far too thin and it will probably be in his best interests to retire from in-ring competition.

#4 Promote Shawn Michaels

In addition to being one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Shawn Michaels is also one of Triple H's closest friends. If Triple H assumes complete control of the WWE, he would be foolish to not use the wealth of experience Michaels has, to help him run the company. As The Game moves up the corporate ladder, his need to delegate duties will increase as well, and who better than The Heartbreak Kid to assume some of the responsibility?

Michaels' technical knowledge and storytelling capabilities are unparalleled and Triple H would be wise to use his friend to develop the new recruits down in NXT. Michaels can take on whatever level of responsibility he desires because his presence in any capacity will be massively beneficial to the development of the NXT brand.

#3 Give NXT a push

NXT is Triple H's baby. The COO was given full reign over the developmental territory of WWE and he has built it into a show that rivals (and sometimes, is better than) main roster shows. NXT is the land where Superstars are made and the WWE Universe is often treated to fantastic wrestling and in-depth storylines.

If Triple H is given control of WWE, he will probably want NXT to rival Raw and Smackdown Live in terms of scale to give the main roster some true competition. He could aim to do this, perhaps by getting NXT a TV deal and shifting it off the WWE Network to elevate the development brand to the next level.

#2 Better define the roles of heels and babyfaces

Just by taking a cursory glance at NXT and the main roster, it is quite easy to tell that the roles of heels and babyfaces are considerably more clear-cut on NXT than they are on Raw or Smackdown Live. These Superstars obviously switch sides from time-to-time, but fans know exactly whom to cheer for and whom to boo week in, week out.

NXT talents such as Bobby Roode, Bayley, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn have all struggled on the main roster. It has taken them time to find their footing, as the traits of their character become more blurred on the main roster than they are on NXT. Expect Triple H to intervene and define these roles better when he assumes control of WWE. A perfect example of this is Bo Dallas going from a bland babyface to a grating heel that ruled over NXT for months. This kind of character transition is relatively lacking on the main roster but expect that to change once The Game has the keys to the kingdom.

#1 Give more creative freedom to Superstars

Triple H is a product of the Attitude Era. In those days, stars were often given points they had to cover during a promo, giving them the room to improvise and allow their characters to truly shine through. It can be argued that today, the room for improvisation and creativity for the Superstars has reduced, as they are given entire promos to deliver in front of live audiences.

It has made it more difficult for Superstars to get over, because the fans sometimes get segments that use terms like 'Suffering Succotash', and end up doing more harm than good to a Superstar. Triple H will likely move back to the older approach of promos, which will possibly give WWE programming a more spontaneous feel.
