A little over a year ago, WWE underwent a seismic organizational shift that most fans thought they’d never see (at least not anytime soon). These changes came in the wake of company CEO Vince McMahon resigning in disgrace after numerous allegations of sexual misconduct (and the company funds he used to keep those transgressions hidden) became known.
Amongst the corporate reshuffling, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over the day-to-day creative duties. Unfortunately, the McMahon-free era of WWE only lasted roughly six months before the (alleged) sex pest forced his way back into the company, using his power and resources to bypass accountability.
With McMahon back in the fold, he has the final say on creative decisions, but Levesque still handles the everyday booking tasks. During Triple H’s tenure, fans have appreciated the noticeable uptick in the on-screen product’s quality, particularly compared to how bleak things looked right before McMahon’s ousting.
However, Hunter has made his share of mistakes, too, and some of those missteps have been just as glaring as the successes.
In totality, though, what does this say about this version of WWE?
By now, we’ve seen enough of a Triple H-led WWE to discern his strengths and weaknesses. So, that’s what we’ll attempt to do today.
