Triple H is Chief Content Officer in WWE, and the company’s creative direction is in his hands. That being said, Vince McMahon can always make remote changes. It seems that Triple H had to do the same this week.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that Triple H was not at WWE RAW this week. That being said, the show must go on, and it certainly did.
Fightful Select has learned that WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque was not at the past week’s WWE Raw. Several people backstage at WWE Raw noted to us that they hadn’t expected Triple H’s absence, but that he was in a great mood Saturday for WWE Money in the Bank and excited for the success of the show.
Those that we spoke to claimed there was nothing to it and just a planned night away. Triple H is expected to return this weekend for Smackdown. Talent weren’t told why he wasn’t there.
It was further noted that, “Bruce Prichard ran the show in Triple H’s place on Monday, as is usually the case when he can’t make a show. As highlighted this weekend, Vince McMahon did not make the trip over to London for the PPV. He also was not at WWE Raw.”
We will have to see what’s next for WWE’s creative direction. The fact is that he still has a ton of things to work on, but being present is apparently not required to keep things running.
Fans noticed that RAW seemed a bit disconnected this week, was Triple H’s absence a sign of this? Sound off in the comments!
