What did Triple H tell the talent regarding a WWE sale before SmackDown?
WWE has recently been going through some turmoil. Vince McMahon was recently reappointed as Executive Chairman to the Board of Directors, while Stephanie McMahon resigned as Co-CEO of the company. Mr. McMahon's return was also followed by rumors that the promotion was up for sale.
Vince McMahon's comeback has reportedly raised some concerns backstage amongst talent and staff. Several figures within the company are said to believe that the 77-year-old could be back to heading creative in the near future.
However, Chief Content Officer Triple H has assured the talent that McMahon will not be involved in the creative process after his return. The Game led a talent meeting hours before WWE SmackDown this past Friday.
In the meeting, performers were reportedly told that McMahon's return was aimed at overseeing a potential sale.
Triple H led the talent meeting today in Green Bay. He told talent that Vince McMahon's return is to see whether or not they sell, and who they should sell to.
He said this will not change the creative team or process.

It was also reported that both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon had strongly opposed Vince McMahon's decision to sell the company. For those wondering, the former Co-CEO's departure from WWE led to Nick Khan becoming the sole CEO of the company.
