Vince Russo reveals the unique problem for Triple H in WWE right now (Exclusive)

Triple H has been in charge of WWE creative since becoming the Chief Content Officer back in 2022. The Game has since been handling all storylines that take place on the main roster shows and PLEs, while Shawn Michaels handles everything NXT-related.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo listed a unique problem that the Cerebral Assassin has, which is hurting the product in his opinion. He recalled an incident where he went up to Vince McMahon and said to his face that he didn't like the product being put on, and they worked on it together to make it better.

Russo was talking on the latest episode of BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, where he said that Triple H doesn't have someone who would do the same for him. He said that Triple H needs someone to do what Russo did for McMahon and call the product out when it's not good.

"The problem is there's no Vince Russo to Triple H right now. You guys can watch the Unreal with the hugs and the resting heads against each other, and there's no Vince Russo saying to Triple H, 'You thought that was a good show tonight? Did you? What was good about it, Trips?'" Russo said.

Triple H has largely done a good job of handling WWE creative since taking control midway through 2022. However, since this year started, people have started criticizing the product a bit more regularly, with fans expressing their frustrations about various storyline points.

WWE, however, continues to make a profit and now has its attention turned towards the upcoming Crown Jewel PLEs next month. Triple H has already announced three matches for the show, with both the men's and women's world champions facing each other for the Crown Jewel championship, while John Cena is set to take on AJ Styles in Perth.
