WWE Superstars Getting More ‘Flexibility’ In Their Promos

Vince McMahon used to run WWE under his thumb, and everything had to be done a certain way. Under Triple H’s leadership, the job is still getting done, but things might be a bit more relaxed. Now, we have another example of how things are apparently relaxing a bit more.

Stephanie McMahon once fired a WWE Superestar on the spot over getting a few words wrong during a promo. Now, it appears that WWE is operating a bit differently under her husband, Triple H’s control.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that WWE Superstars are getting a bit more flexibility in their promo work. Shinsuke Nakamura and Karrion Kross’ recent program was pointed out as an example of that.
