Triple H Won't Turn WWE Into Another NXT (And That's Fine)
Triple H stepping back into his role as WWE's EVP and Head of Talent Relations is a positive thing, but fans hoping for him to bring some of gold and black NXT's style to the main roster are just setting themselves up for disappointment. Bruce Prichard will continue as Executive Director for Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown while leaving his interim post as Head Of Talent Relations to Triple H. Hunter's wife, Stephanie McMahon, took over as interim CEO last month in the wake of ongoing investigations into Vince McMahon's alleged use of hush money to keep relationships between himself and former employees quiet.
There's been a lot of shaking and moving in WWE's front offices, and for good reason. However, Vince McMahon still maintains full creative control over both red and blue brands, so expecting Triple H to step in and make Raw or SmackDown anything like NXT 1.0 is foolhardy. The black and gold days were stellar, make no mistake. Audiences just shouldn't anticipate much change on the main roster now that Triple H is back as EVP and Head Of Talent Relations.

Its most recent premium live event, Money In The Bank, over-delivered while giving both Liv Morgan and Theory star-making moments. Vince also reshaped NXT into what it is today, a training ground for college athletes to learn to be sports entertainers. Triple H isn't going to jump into an executive role on the main roster and mettle with any of that. NXT 2.0 is about building characters and sports entertainers, not highlighting the best former independent talent around.
