From being demoted in NXT to Head of Creative. The Game always gets his win back eventually, huh? It's all about the game and how you play it. All about control and if you can take it.
Lemmy was warning us...

So Haitch has the ball without having to filter everything through that crazy old man anymore. Should be interesting. Not really. Vince still has controlling interest in WWE and they have to please him because of that. I'm not much of a stocks guy, but controlling interest I don't believe means you have creative input on the TV product. Maybe some behind the scenes stroke, but I don't think he'd be making booking decisions right now. Also, I am pretty sure his legal team is telling him to stay away from any kind of involvement right now. His involvement would only serve to cause more problems right now.

Your stocks have nothing to do with creative. If they said he’s done with creative then he’s done. He still controls the company as far as ownership but that has no barring on creative since he gave that up. He can’t Jerry Jones/Mark Cuban this

Good I’m excited. He was good in NXT and it will take some time for his decisions to start showing up on TV but the big thing now is their is no filter for him.

This is freaking amazing news for WWE. He did awesome stuff for NXT and especially with a more mature product, I think HHH can do wonders.

I'm curious what he has to offer at this stage. He had great moments in NXT but the quality declined a bit (in my view at least) when they went live to two hours, especially over a year in. How much input did Vince have at that point, I wonder? Maybe little, maybe a lot, maybe none.

Imagining a world where the main roster cares as much about tag team wrestling as NXT always did. <3

Oh and keep in mind a big thing that has to change is WWE's hiring and recruiting process. Listening to Regal's podcast he was asked about scouting. For as many coaches and trainers as the PC had up until 2021 the recruiting and scouting department was... four people

THIS is the exact scenario pretty much everyone has wanted.
HHH running creative with Steph and Nick Khan on the business side of things....IMO unless you were against that scenario and really wanted a sale then as a fan you should be absoloutley f***ing excited like you aint been in years just on the basis alone that Vince has nothing to do with creative and HHH is now running things creatively.
I still do not expect big wide sweeping changes YET but tonight will be a nice litmis test because it is a big show...in MSG , the go home Raw to summerslam...your undisputed champ is actually wrestling etc.

He does have a huge ego (not a criticism per se, anyone with ambition does). DX Tank invading WCW might just be the beginning of HHH's greatness being retold.

I didn't love absolutely everything about NXT but it was for the most part a competently booked show with a good women's division and a good tag division. Just basically that on a bigger stage with bigger names would automatically be a massive improvement if it's implemented. That might not sound like rocket science to pull off but Vince made it seem like it a lot of the time in recent years.
And beyond how good or bad the show ends up being on screen, things should be running a lot smoother behind the scenes going forward. You didn't hear about NXT constantly tearing up scripts on a whim every week and re-writing entire shows for the hell of it, stressing everyone out.

It’s going to take a long while for HHH full vision to come to being noticed
A lot of wrestlers were used to Vince and some no doubt preferred the Vince way. I think more freedom for the roster will def be a breath of fresh air but I expect him to attack the womens and tag divisions as his first objectives to start getting things where he wants it

Seriously, if we see more NXT Black and Gold ideas and priorities on the main roster, I might have to actually check out the shows again.

Changes will probably be gradually eased in, so, yes, it will be Wait and See. And I mean the WaitingEST and SeeingEST of waiting and seeing.

Ciampa is one in particular I am gonna be watching closlely. And also someone like Ali who has been HUGELY misused. That will be the first thing pretty much everyone is gonna be watching out for ...who gets better positioned and who noticably has to take a step down the card.

even though this was just reported, the wrestling insiders have been speculating that even with Trips going back to his old position you are likely going to see him delegate a lot of responsibilities since... ya know... he almost died.
