8 Real Contenders To Replace Vince McMahon As Head Of The WWE

2. Paul Levesque

Paul Levesque is just about finished his run as pro wrestler Triple H. The thirteen time world champion turns 45 this year and has already became heavily involved in the business side of WWE. As Executive vice president for talent / live events, Levesque is one of the most key WWE operatives there is. He has been getting personally developed by Vince for years now for a major business role, so it looks like he will advance further still. In saying that, the industry does not see Levesque as someone who could be a future CEO of the public company. He lacks experience in management and has never faced the level of responsibility required at Vince's status. His real attributes are in wrestling knowledge, which are beneficial, but also a negative to the skills desired at the management level. Vince can train Levesque up all he likes, but when it comes down to it, he very possibly just won't have what it takes to get the job done as a business person.
