Well now, folks, let me tell ya a bit ’bout that ol’ Vince McMahon, the fella who’s been all over the wrestling world for as long as I can remember. He ain’t just some regular feller, no sir. Vince is the one who built WWE into what it is today, makin’ all them big decisions for the company. But y’see, things ain’t always so steady, and sometimes even the big shots gotta step back. And that’s what happened with Vince McMahon in 2022. It was a shocker, but the man retired, leavin’ behind a whole lotta questions ’bout who would be in charge of things. But don’t get too comfortable, ’cause let me tell ya, things didn’t stay quiet for long.
Now, back in July 2022, ol’ Vince decided to retire from all them fancy roles, includin’ the one where he was headin’ up WWE’s creative side. That’s the part where they decide what the wrestlers do and say, and how the whole show runs. So, naturally, folks thought things were gonna change. The man himself confirmed that he was lettin’ go of his creative duties as part of his big retirement plan, which I reckon was a big relief for some and a worry for others. But here’s the kicker—this wasn’t the last time we’d hear from Vince.
After Vince retired, ol’ Triple H, that’s Paul Levesque, took over the creative reins. Folks started to see a shift in how the shows were lookin’. Triple H, he’s been around WWE for a long time, and his ways were a bit different from Vince’s, but still, the company kept rollin’. But as it goes in the business world, changes never stop. In 2023, Vince McMahon came back—yeah, you heard me right—he came back to the company as the board’s Executive Chairman. So, it looked like the ol’ fella wasn’t ready to hang up his boots just yet.
Now, this got people talkin’. With Vince comin’ back into the picture, a lotta folks started wonderin’ what would happen to the direction of WWE. Would the shows be like they were when Vince was in charge, or would they stick with Triple H’s way of doin’ things? The folks at WWE, they weren’t too clear on things, but they sure weren’t shy about the rumors flyin’ around. In fact, it was in October of 2023 when some big changes happened. Turns out Vince McMahon, once again, was no longer callin’ the shots on WWE’s creative side.
This time, things were official. On October 15, 2023, it was reported that Vince McMahon had been removed from his creative duties for good, at least for now. The decision came straight from the big dogs over at Endeavor, the group that owns WWE after merging with UFC. The word on the street is that Vince ain’t in the creative process no more, and Triple H, well, he’s now runnin’ the show. Triple H, that’s the Chief Content Officer now, and he’s the one takin’ charge of WWE’s storylines, the talent, and all that good stuff. So, it’s safe to say, Vince ain’t part of the creative team no more.
It seems like the folks at WWE wanted to make sure that the jobs matched up better with the titles. Vince’s role was gettin’ more and more about the business side of things, while Triple H was sittin’ pretty as the head of creative. Some folks say that was always the plan, but ya know, in the wrestling world, plans change faster than a clothesline to the face.
So, with all these changes, where does that leave Vince? Well, he’s still got his ownership stake in the company, that much ain’t changed. Vince bought WWE back in the 1980s, and he still holds a significant part of it. But when it comes to the creative side of things? Nope, that’s all Triple H now. Vince might still be watchin’ from the sidelines, but he ain’t callin’ the shots on what happens in that ring anymore.
Now, some folks are still askin’ if Vince is truly done with all that creative stuff. There’s always a chance he could pop back in, but for now, it looks like Triple H is gonna keep on rollin’ with what he’s got. The changes that came in 2023 with the new leadership structure and the merger with Endeavor are real, and they’ve made it clear that Vince is takin’ more of a backseat these days. He’s still got his hands in the business side, but when it comes to the wrestlin’ stories, that’s all Triple H now.
But let’s be real, in WWE, nothing ever stays the same for too long. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe Vince will decide to come back to the creative side one day, or maybe Triple H will take WWE to even greater heights. Whatever happens, it’s sure to be a wild ride for us fans, and we’ll just have to sit back and watch.
