Eric Bischoff believes that Triple H is the right man for the job when it comes to WWE creatively.
During an appearance on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Bischoff was asked to describe what Triple H needs to do in order to improve the company. Bischoff mentioned that he is optimistic about Triple H taking control of WWE creative.
“Here’s what I’m excited about. I’m very, very optimistic. Now I’m not tight with Triple H. We get along. We can be together in a room, and it can be very, very pleasant and borderline fun. But we don’t hang. He doesn’t drink anyway, but if he did, we didn’t go out for drinks, none of that. We don’t chat, so I don’t know him personally. But I did get a chance to, for a very brief period of time, four months back in 2019, get a chance to work with him. Here’s what I think. I think Stephanie has been the head of creative under Vince. I think Triple H has been the head of creative under Vince. I think both of them know that as phenomenal of a process as Vince McMahon’s process was, and what it achieved over the last couple of decades, the fact that it’s a five billion dollar market-capped company with a global footprint speaks to Vince McMahon and his process. If I’m right, there is a whole lot of talented people that I did get to work with a lot, for a short period of time, that I have nothing but admiration, not just respect, that comes along with the admiration. So at the same time, you’ve got a new creative regime, although it came up under the mentorship of Vince McMahon, that’s a great thing, by the way. But they also see that things have to change,”

Time will tell if Triple H will be the one to lead the creative team into a new era of WWE TV that can bring in the sponsorships and viewers WWE have lost over the last decade and a half since WWE adapted to a more sports entertainment approach.
