It has been all change in WWE over the course of the past seven days. Vince McMahon stepped back as the company's CEO and has been temporarily replaced by Stephanie, and Bruce Prichard is now head of talent relations while John Laurinaitis is away. Both McMahon and Laurinaitis are being investigated by WWE's board of directors after some pretty serious allegations were made against the two of them.

Triple H Is Back

It still remains somewhat unclear what the hierarchy looks like in WWE right now. Stephanie is the CEO, but Vince is apparently still in charge of creative. There are also reports Stephanie has been working closely with Triple H and Paul Heyman. There's even a new report claiming The Game has returned to the Performance Center, which could result in him working closely with talent in NXT again.

This is according to POST Wrestling's John Pollock. Pollock reports multiple sources have told him Triple H was back at the PC this week and told recruits in attendance he's back for good. As for what role The Cerebral Assassin will be playing there moving forward, that remains unknown. Whether he will be sticking to the PC, or assuming his old role shaping NXT and dictating what we see on TV every Tuesday night.

The Changing Of The Guard At NXT

Triple H has been absent from NXT for the better part of a year for a number of reasons, many of which we still don't and might never know. The black and gold brand The Game helped build became NXT 2.0 in September 2021, a change that some deemed necessary after WWE's shows failed to chase off AEW Dynamite when they went head-to-head for almost two years on Wednesday nights.

At around the same time as NXT became NXT 2.0, Triple H suffered a cardiac event that resulted in him taking time away from WWE entirely. In an interview earlier this year, The Game revealed more details about exactly what happened, confirming that he'll never wrestle again. He has gradually been reintegrated into WWE life, and now it seems he will once again have a role to play at the PC, and maybe even in NXT's on-screen product.
