Fightful Select has a story on how backstage morale has improved in WWE since Triple H has taken over.
According to the report, backstage morale has improved significantly within the company. Sources within the WWE locker room have said that aspects of the culture have improved and changed, and people are willing to speak out about it.
WWE talent claim there is less fear of going to work and getting fired over things they can’t control. This was apparently not the case when Vince McMahon was still in charge. Another WWE talent noted that while some wrestlers still aren’t being used effectively, it’s still much better than the atmosphere earlier this year. Talents have also noted that they have more creative input and an ability to improvise a bit more. This has reportedly made going to work in WWE more fun and easygoing in recent months.
At the time of the 2022 Royal Rumble, things were much different. Multiple talents reportedly saw that event as an all-time low point for WWE in terms of creative satisfaction, booking, and losing faith in Vince McMahon as a creative head and company leader. One wrestler reportedly said that they always would maintain faith in Vince McMahon to some degree, but that all eroded with the 2022 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
In contrast to recent months with Triple H’s regime in WWE, there is said to be a greater sense of optimism with Triple H as the lead booker and creative head of the company, despite some hiccups.
Vince McMahon retired as chairman and CEO of the company in July amid an investigation by the board of directors over hush-money payments to employees with whom he was alleged to have had sexual relationships. McMahon remains the majority stockholder of the company with a controlling interest.
