"I could really cry right now" - WWE Universe reacts to Triple H becoming the company's new head of creative
Following Vince McMahon's retirement last week, WWE has confirmed that Triple H will now take over the creative reigns of the company.
Over the past ten years, The Game has shown he has the chops to produce an exciting product for the WWE fanbase. He did commendable work when he was in charge of the creative process for the company's third brand, NXT.
Earlier today, WWE released a statement confirming The Cerebral Assassin's new role.

After the news broke, the WWE Universe had their say on the matter, with many calling for Triple H's favorites to become world champions again. However, other sections of the fanbase feel that the power may go to The Game's head.
@SeanRossSapp With HHH in the lead creative role I think there is a much higher chance that people like Sasha, Naomi, Bray, and others come back to WWE. In NXT he built a great relationship with a lot of people and booked them really well.
now that triple h is head of creative I think it’s time this happened again… https://t.co/AInsAQvkBH
Triple H as head of creative and talent relations, Kevin Dunn is apparently leaving and RAW potentially moving to TV-14.

I remember when NXT Takeovers would be so fun to watch, wrestling fans would pray for the day that Vince left WWE and Triple H would just book the main roster. This day is actually here and I can’t believe it. Like I could really cry right now. https://t.co/g6mlLW4jBz
Regardless of these varying opinions, all sections of the WWE Universe will surely watch Monday Night RAW this evening to see what a Triple H-led main roster show looks like.
Samoa Joe praises Triple H's career
Earlier this year, after having entertained fans for over 25 years, the 14-time world champion announced his in-ring retirement after multiple health scares.
One person who worked with Hunter during his final years as a performer was Samoa Joe. The latter recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about the fact that he competed in The Game's last proper match.
"It was a fun match and the crowd had a good time. Obviously, he’s had a monster career, and it’s an honor to be part of his last match. We have a great rapport and relationship, and I wish the best for him and his health. That’s my main concern. I’m happy he had a chance to get some rest, get healthy and stay around for as long as he can," Joe said.
If you're not on notice already ... you should be. @SamoaJoe is exactly where he belongs... the main event of Monday Night #Raw. https://t.co/QCLRaEoq2Y
Samoa Joe was one of the many stars from wrestling's independent scene that The Game helped bring into WWE over the last ten years. The Samoan Submission Machine is now signed to AEW, and he is the current ROH World Television Champion.
