WWE hosted another meeting prior to last night's Raw, with Fightful Select providing the details.

Held by Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, Kevin Dunn, and Dan Ventrelle, the meeting followed one held prior to last week's SmackDown, which was described as a "calm down" session. Last night, Levesque and co. touched on similar topics, with Triple H asserting that he is still "firmly in control of creative" despite Vince McMahon's recent return to WWE.

It was noted, too, that talent relations aren't changing, with the meeting also debunking last week's report that WWE was on the verge of being sold to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

McMahon's dramatic WWE return has progressed rapidly over the past few weeks. Back in the promotion's Board of Directors as Executive Chairman, Vince, who retained majority voting power after resigning in disgrace last July, had reportedly refused to agree on a potential sale of the company and new media rights deals without being reinstated. Now, he is back, Stephanie McMahon has resigned, and it's all change in the world's biggest promotion.

As reported yesterday, Vince returned to his WWE office last week, despite prior assertions that he wouldn't be involved in day-to-day operations.
