New insights into Triple H’s leadership style at WWE have surfaced since Vince McMahon’s departure earlier this year. McMahon’s resignation followed a lawsuit by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
The Game has assumed creative control of the promotion, steering WWE to its most successful WrestleMania to date.
A report by NBC News suggests a more relaxed atmosphere since McMahon’s exit. McMahon was known to arrive late for shows and often stayed well past midnight.
NBC News also highlighted McMahon’s quick trigger for firing employees, a practice that seems to have shifted.
Employees now report a greater sense of freedom and room for error. Underperforming staff receive progress reports and opportunities for improvement before facing consequences.
Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently critiqued Triple H’s booking decisions.
The current (new) leadership in WWE operates more conventionally, giving underperforming employees a standard progress report & opportunities to improve before taking action.
Now there’s more levity & freedom to make a mistake or suggest ideas.

Russo pointed out that while Triple H isn’t a writer, his background as a wrestler influences his approach to match planning. Russo likened Triple H’s role to his own hypothetical attempt at wrestling professionally.
Triple H’s leadership marks a departure from McMahon’s vision, signaling a new era for WWE. As WWE continues under Triple H’s guidance, fans anticipate further changes to the company’s product.
