I don't see being given more time for global expansion of a brand as a demotion.
He's probably not going to be in head office as much so makes sense he doesn't spend time negotiating contracts instead of doing his day job.

To me it sounds like less of a demotion and more of a shift to strictly NXT. With the brand struggling on cable, this seems like a strategy to help improve things.

I'm glad. I really don't think he's the executive to be able to succeed as a successor to Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon may be a polarizing figure in the way he acts and I don't like a lot of his actions but he has a presence as a successful businessman to the general public, not just wrestling fans. I think businessmen looking to do business with Triple H as the successor would see him simply as "the crotch chop guy" and that's about all I see in him as well. Vince's business model may have hurt a lot of competitors but it has worked as a successful model. Triple H's model of business is leech off the other guy and at some point that's not going to work anymore.

This seems like less of a demotion and more of a lateral move to me.

So Trips only has control over the best brand in the company and now all of the main roster bullshit has zero to do with him?
That's a win for Trips. Get that W bruh bruh. All this will do is have more people pushing for ya and NXT compared to the before.

Until they were fired, the succession plan was George and Michelle run the corporate side as CEO, CFO etc, Hunter runs the actual wrestling business and Steph remains CBO/Public face of the company were something to happen to Vince. EDIT: At best, Hunter would’ve ended up 3rd in power. Possibly 4th depending on how Steph slotted in.

He doesn’t have much of a resume and would fall to the same skepticism, if not worse, as Hunter from Wall Street. He could run a division or divisions of WWE, but as a publicly traded company he won’t run the whole show.

Calling this a demotion sounds like bullshit. Being able to focus on an entire branch of your company without having to worry about contract negotiations with individual workers is generally considered a promotion in the business world.
He's more of a directer and less of a manager.

Yeah I don’t see this as a demotion. NXT is his baby and to be able to concentrate more on that than sorting out contract negotiations seems like a better move to me.

I'd be interested in Shane as CEO and HHH as his trusted talent guy. I don't know if that's ever going to happen, but if HHH could instruct Shane on what's going on and what should be going on, who knows? Could be a reasonable mix of "CEO knows how to business but has a solid go-to guy for the wrestling". I know some people would disagree, given Shane's not-wrestler status and HHH's supposed "burying all the people" status, but I'm sure he's gotta have contact with "the guys", so who knows? I'd like to see how that'd pan out.

That literally sounds like the same job with a fancy new title.
Then again, I'm not a multi millionaire. So what do I know.

Nah, seems like a sidegrade for me too, but likewise I'm not a corporate wrestling guy.

Lol He's given more financial responsibility and it's spun as a "demotion."

I wonder if this will mean an end to the generous contracts being handed to midcarders they have no plans for, simply to keep them out of AEW. I can't imagine those being popular at a corporate level, being both expensive and an admittance that the WWE isn't making the best use of its assets.
