Some were also concerned about Triple H’s role as head of creative, but Nick Khan seems to have provided some answers. In an interview, Nick Kahn said Vince McMahon was ready to leave WWE if it was the right deal. Unless he is, Triple H will likely continue in his role as head of the creative department. The CEO will find it difficult to rule McMahon after more than 40 years, but Vince added that it prioritizes shareholder value. The 77-year-old stepped down as chairman and CEO of the company last July. His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, became Chairman and Co-CEO with Nick Khan. Paul “Triple H” Levesque then became Chief Content Officer and Creative Officer.

Never say never is a wrestling cliche that would be perfectly embodied by Triple H welcoming CM Punk back to the WWE Universe. Speculation has been widespread as to whether or not CM Punk will rejoin WWE if released from his AEW contract in light of news that AEW and CM Punk may be in discussions regarding a contract buyout resulting from the backstage altercation during All Out.
The new Triple H regime in charge would be open to “anything within reason” given the appropriate money, creativity, and circumstance, according to insiders in WWE speaking on the record to Fightful Select. “Triple H wants to be a success and make compelling programming more than anything,” per the report. “CM Punk back in WWE is compelling programming, but I can’t see it being a full-time deal like what he has in AEW, because of exactly what happened in AEW.
