"In 18 Months, Triple H Will Not Be Running WWE Anymore" - Jonathan Coachman (WWE News)

Jonathan Coachman believes that Paul 'Triple H' Levesque will be removed from his position as WWE Chief Content Officer within 18 months.

Speaking on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, Coachman, an ex-WWE broadcaster, theorised that Levesque "won't be running WWE" a year-and-a-half from now. 'The Coach' cited Triple H's 2025 Hall of Fame speech running long and "disrespecting" Bret Hart and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin by not giving them a HOF walk-out at WrestleMania 41 while explaining.

"We predicted that within 18 months, Triple H will not be running WWE anymore," Coachman said (h/t Wrestling Inc.). "I actually feel kind of bad for him because I've always really, really liked him. But look at what happened at WrestleMania. He gets inducted into the Hall of Fame for the third time. An hour and 37 minute speech at 1 in the morning."

"You're overscheduling the entire week," he continued. "there's nothing free for fans to go to, and then at WrestleMania, you're going to disrespect Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin and walk them out with everybody else to give a wave to the crowd, and you get your own water music entrance right next to those guys."

Triple H has served as WWE's Head of Creative since July 2022, when his father-in-law, Vince McMahon, resigned in disgrace amid multiple scandals. By that September, Levesque moved into a new role as Chief Content Officer. Coachman recently theorised that Vince McMahon wants to buy WWE back.

In October 2023, Ari Emanuel (CEO of WWE's parent company, Endeavor) confirmed that Triple H held 99.99% of WWE's creative power.

This may be true, but Coachman also spoke of a "power struggle" between Triple H and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. "From my time there and my time with the Rock, I know for a fact that he does not get along with Triple H," Jonathan said. "That does not go away. They've always been butting heads for years and years for a lot of different reasons."

"The reason I said on my show there's a big power struggle," he continued. "Well, first of all, I've talked to two people close to the situation, and they've told me, but I can't tell you who they are, but I've got really good intel."

Coachman, 51, worked for WWE in various roles between 1999 and 2008, then again from 2016 to 2021, with his positions including commentator, backstage interviewer, host, and on-air authority figure.

WWE's next Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank 2025, takes place this Saturday, 7 June.
