Nick Khan Continues To State Triple H Is Still Head Of Creative While Vince McMahon Advises

For many fans, it has become clear that McMahon has been involved in the WWE product more now that he is back in power.

Whether it be certain words being used, storylines making little to no sense or other tropes of McMahon’s creative, it feels like every show has his fingerprints on them.

Speaking on LightShed Live in an interview recorded on April 7, Nick Khan was asked about McMahon creative involvement in WWE.

“On Monday [April 3], when this deal was officially announced, Vince sent out a company-wide email to our thousand or so employees, including myself, and in the email he laid out the structure of the NewCo. Specifically, he articulated that Paul Levesque remains the sole Chief Creative Officer. Sole. How does that work? Does that mean that technically because I’m in charge of the business side of the business that I don’t seek input from other people. I wouldn’t seek input from Vince McMahon, who created this entire empire? That would be a mistake on my behalf. Paul and Vince, a family relationship, a relationship that spans back to the mid-90s. Paul is in charge of creative. If he wants input from Vince or Vince has ideas that he and Paul are going to communicate, that’s always going to be the case. We’re lucky to have Vince. We’re lucky to have Paul in control of creative. We’re lucky that the set up that Vince created, that the company could continue to exist, even when Vince stepped out for that five month period, the company kept flowing. We think the best organizations are set up that way and that’s the way Vince set up WWE,”

We will have to wait and see if this remains the case, as Vince McMahon could realistically take over at any time given his position in the company now that Endeavor are in control.
