Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel Reportedly Behind Giving Triple H Full Creative Control in WWE

-- Recently, it was reported by multiple outlets that there has been a major change at the top of WWE's creative team hierarchy with Paul "Triple H" Levesque re-gaining power as the man in charge with Vince McMahon no longer directly involved. Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso is reporting that this sweeping change took place immediately after Endeavor gained majority control of WWE and was done at the direction of CEO Ari Emanuel.

-- According to the report, which cites multiple contacts within both WWE and UFC, Emanuel is firmly behind the change as he is a staunch supporter that in order for an organization to be as successful as possible, people need to focus the job they are assigned to do in this case that means Levesque is in charge of creative and he has empowered him to "exert his full influence" in the company's creative initiatives.

-- McMahon meanwhile has been assigned a different role which is to oversee and participate in negotiations related to a new media rights deal for both the WWE Monday Night Raw and WWE NXT brands. While he has a contract in place to protect him financially, he is no longer majority owner of WWE and isn't protected politically.
