The EVP of Global Talent Strategy & Development for WWE, Triple H recently has been a guest on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast. He discussed a number of subjects including his nearly 25-year career, the filming, and logistics of WrestleMania 36 that took place in a unique way, earlier this year.
The show of shows brought a lot of first time experience for the WWE Universe by airing from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It was a taped show that was hosted without any audience.

Another significant change for this year’s iteration was that the show took place over 2 nights instead of one. As per Triple H, it was the best decision taken by the higher-ups of the company.
Many fans have been complaining about the increasing length of WrestleMania with each passing year and WWE seemed to have finally listened to them by airing the show through two nights. Fans and critics gave a round of applause about it as WrestleMania often gets dragged to nearly 8 hours including the pre-show.

Triple H also agreed to the decision saying that WrestleMania should permanently be hosted across two nights from now onwards. Although he confirmed that the decision does not lie entirely in his hands.
“Well, I mean my opinion is my opinion, but I think it was much more enjoyable than the eight-hour extravaganza” Triple H said on the episode. “It’s just become so big that it’s almost when you think about it; it started out as a concert that ended up being a festival.”
Triple H them added by saying that WrestleMania has gradually become a festival for the fans from just being any other pay-per-view shows. With NXT TakeOver and Raw, SmackDown around it, the total package is nothing less than an extravaganza,
“It’s this week-long thing you know? When you think about it in that manner. Now the Thursday would have been the Hall of Fame, Friday was Smackdown, Saturday was going to be NXT Takeover. Sunday would have been WrestleMania, Monday would have been RAW.”
Triple H concluded the topic saying that they have been hearing people’s pledge of making WrestleMania a two-night affair, for a long time. But it’s not an easy task to arrange a show with such big-scale, over two nights. But he thinks the major shift has arrived, this year and it should be carried forward.
