Since 2013, Triple H’s job title in WWE was the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative. He recently received a new job title, becoming the Executive Vice President of Global Talent Development & Strategy.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is talk within WWE that Triple H has received a “quiet demotion” in his corporate role with WWE.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
The company never made it clear, but a recent SEC filing when giving Levesque’s new title essentially opened the door for questions. Levesque was the head of talent relations, his main job, but also oversaw many other departments in his role as EVP of Talent, Live Events and Creative. So he was moved away from being in charge of talent and his main duties are now NXT, selling NXT TV rights overseas and expanding NXT globally.
Brad Blum, Vince McMahon’s Chief of Staff, took over Levesque’s other duties as Executive Vice President of Operations, overseeing the divisions Levesque was formerly overseeing. It’s a change. There are those internally and externally who have called it a quiet demotion. The labeling of his new title gives the impression that he’s the guy negotiating with talent, but that is one of the things he was removed from doing. Mark Carrano no longer reports to Levesque and now reports to Blum. Either way, it is curious that this was kept quiet for nearly four months
