Billy Corgan Comments On Triple H Taking Over Creative Control In WWE: “I’m looking forward to seeing what he does.”
Billy Corgan is excited to see what comes next for WWE under Triple H’s direction.
On July 22nd, Vince McMahon retired from his role in the WWE amidst several sexual misconduct payoffs being exposed to the world. He would retire from all roles within the company, including as head of creative. Triple H, Vince’s son in law, would take over those responsibilities.
Billy Corgan, owner of NWA, recently spoke on Insight with Chris Van Vliet and addressed the change in the WWE hierarchy.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what he does. Somebody asked me if I saw any changes and I said that you don’t turn a battleship around quickly. That’s a big institutional culture with a lot of pieces. As someone who runs a big organisation with The Smashing Pumpkins world, you don’t flip switches and see what happens. You are going to poke around and put some people in places, but I don’t think we will know until about 18 to 24 months what the vision of Triple H is. I do know, well this is speculation, I do know as AEW has gone out of their way to pick fights with the WWE world and the WWE world has not responded, I don’t think that will continue under Triple H. I don’t feel that he is the type of personality that will let people sock him in the chops over and over again and he’s not going to respond. He was in D-Generation X and I think he was a big part of the sass that they had. I think there is business there as well, it is blow for blow and competitive. Now the position from WWE corporately, from what I see from a public observation, is we are not going to sweat it publicly even if we are sweating it privately. I think those dynamics are definitely changing.”

Triple H has only been in the role for little over a month but fans have seen the landscape of WWE change completely, despite no titles changing hands on the main roster. Time will tell how Triple H will continue to adapt into this role as the lead of WWE creative team.
