Only a fool would claim that WWE haven't overhauled their system dramatically since Triple H became more involved behind the scenes; the launch of NXT as a new developmental hotbed for the main roster and a fresh approach to talent recruitment have both been noticeable improvements in the company over the past 4/5 years.

Granting an interview to NBC Sports, 'The Game' said he had a big decision to make upon gaining more influence than ever before behind the curtain, and that decision revolved around challenging Vince McMahon's own perceptions.

For example, Triple H isn't sure that McMahon would have turned away notions of a guy like Bray Wyatt being WWE Champion before, but he's also not convinced that anyone within the company would have suggested such a move to Vince a decade ago.

Not content to adhere to any preconceived ideas of what a 'WWE Superstar' should look like, a determined Triple H claims he wants to constantly challenge McMahon's love of what has worked for him in the past, and does this by presenting the likes of Finn Balor and Wyatt before the boss.
