What is Paul "Triple H" Levesque's role behind-the-scenes in WWE following the recent acquisition by Endeavor?
Nick Khan spoke about this during a recent appearance on Light Shed Live.
“On Monday [April 3], when this deal was officially announced, Vince [McMahon] 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 new company," Khan stated. "Specifically, he articulated that Paul Levesque remains the sole Chief Creative Officer. Sole."
Khan continued, "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.”
