Triple H was handling the creative and talent relations aspect of things in the WWE after Vince McMahon’s sudden retirement. It looks like WWE has hired someone to ease off the workload for The Game.

WWE issued a press release where they revealed that Dan Ventrelle will join the company as EVP, Talent, and Maurice F. Edelson will come aboard as EVP, Chief Legal Officer. Dan was with the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, where he served as the team’s President.

Dan will oversee the talent department and report to Triple H. Ventrelle is very excited about this new opportunity as a lifelong WWE fan.

“As a lifelong fan, it is an honor to join the world’s premier sports entertainment company,” said Ventrelle. “I am inspired by the vision that Stephanie, Nick and Paul have for the future and excited to further the commitment to deliver exceptional talent to the WWE Universe.”
