Triple H Makes Major Creative Change Within WWE?
What backstage move marks 'The Game's latest significant shift away from the Vince McMahon era?
Triple H has addressed a longstanding issue within WWE's creative process by actually planning what's set to go down on SmackDown with enough time for the talents to process and prepare for.
This is according to Fightful Select, who reported that;
"As is tradition of late, we're told creative was done by Thursday for Smackdown. However, much of what we heard was actually done by early afternoon. One source indicated they learned what they'd be doing even earlier than usual."
Something that clearly shouldn't have been such a problem in the first place appears to be yet another quick win 'The Game' has identified since taking over as WWE's Head Of Creative after Vince McMahon resigned in disgrace in July.
Despite years of various internal talking heads lambasting WCW's old practices of booking Nitro on the fly or tearing up formats hours before broadcasts, this allegedly became extremely commonplace long into McMahon's final years in the hot seat. Paul Levesque making basic structural competence a "tradition" recently should bode well for the short and longterm future of the blue brand, particularly if talent are permitted to become more accustomed to simple planning as the norm.
Wrestlers spoke of enormous last minute changes with alarming regularity, and WWE themselves even exposed the practice on their own fly-on-the-wall specials. Liv Morgan infamously had a match cancelled while waiting in Gorilla, as captured for her 2020 "Liv Forever" documentary.
