WWE has dropped bombshell news on this past week to steal the thunder away from the rival brands. Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff will be the new Executive Directors of WWE Raw and Smackdown Live respectively. They are likely to come up with a big change in the WWE programming in this summer that was mandatory to cope up with the demand of the fans. Triple H is missing from the entire picture raising eyebrows for some of the fans.

The question does remain why WWE aka Vince McMahon chose two senior pro-wrestling promoters when they have one perfect name to do so from their internal territory. The reference is clearly towards Triple H who runs things on the NXT brand on a regular basis. Plus, he was also in charge of producing creative things on the main roster.

So why did WWE keep Triple H away from the scene, altogether? As reported by SportsKeeda.com, the existing role of The King of Kings will not allow him to control things on the main roster, entirely. He is the current Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative for WWE and the main producer of NXT, too. Maintaining double duties will not be his cup of tea, for now.
Two people who pushed our industry and @WWE forward over the last 25+ years. Great to have @HeymanHustle and @EBischoff working on #Raw and #SDLive. Welcome BACK to the team. https://t.co/e5gxEVgl8r

Here’s more from the source,
“Triple H is also overseeing large quantities of WWE’s international expansion, particular as regards the set up of NXT UK, the Saudi Arabia and Australia shows and the set up of WWE Performance Centres worldwide. The source went on to explain that Triple H already had considerably more responsibility than an Executive Director role would offer.”
Also, Triple H is in charge of all the talents present in the WWE including NXT, Raw and Smackdown. So despite the presence of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman, The Game will be everywhere in the WWE. It’s like “The job’s basically beneath him.” But for now, he may be stepping away from the main roster scene, a little bit.
According to Brad Shepard, Triple H will be stepping down from his backstage role on Raw & Smackdown as his focus must remain on NXT only. WWE originally offered the executive director’s role to Triple H. But as mentioned previously, he turned it down as NXT will be without its father.
