Triple H Hints At WWE Expanding Partnership With Netflix
The future of WWE programming might extend far beyond just Raw moving to Netflix. In a recent interview on ImPAULsive with Logan Paul, Triple H addressed the potential for the massive streaming service to acquire more WWE content.



The conversation stemmed from the groundbreaking deal announced in January, which will see Raw air exclusively on Netflix starting January 2025. This move marks a significant shift for both WWE, venturing away from traditional cable, and Netflix, dipping its toes into live sports for the first time.



When questioned about the possibility of Netflix wanting more than just Raw, Triple H offered an intriguing perspective. "It would seem odd," he stated, "for them to just say they only want Raw." He elaborated on Netflix's business model, suggesting they wouldn't limit themselves to a single program.



This opens the door for speculation. Triple H mentioned two key pieces of WWE content - SmackDown, which has a contract ending in September 2024 with Fox, and the company's popular pay-per-view events currently on Peacock with a deal expiring in March 2026. Could these shows be future contenders for Netflix?

Triple H On Nick Khan: 'He Is The Biggest Difference Maker I Have Ever Seen'

While some have dubbed it the "Paul Levesque Era," the WWE Chief Content Officer himself is hesitant to define this current period in the company's history. Levesque acknowledges a transition is underway, but emphasizes a more organic approach to letting the era find its own identity, much like the iconic "Attitude Era" that wasn't labelled as such during its run.## Levesque's influence is undeniable. His rise to a leadership position has coincided with a renewed focus on in-ring storytelling and a potential shift away from the more rigidly scripted approach of recent years. Wrestlers seem to have more creative freedom, and NXT, the developmental brand Levesque previously oversaw, is seen as a breeding ground for exciting new talent.## There's a sense of optimism. Levesque, a legend himself, is a strong advocate for building new stars. During WrestleMania XL Sunday Press Conference, Triple H spoke about WWE having "no ceiling," and fans are eager to see what the future holds.## "I keep hearing it. Paul Heyman, while he didn't start it, I suppose, but Paul Heyman made a big deal out of it on Friday night. The new era, you know, talked about being 'my era,' all that 'some era, tar era.' When I say 'our,' I mean everybody in WWE—the people that endured, the people that hung in there, the people that trusted, the people that over the last year, whatever it's been, gave their sweat and tears to get to where we are, because somewhere along the way, they trusted a process that led them to remembering how much fun this is, how much of a privilege it is for us to be able to do it, how great this can be.## We all started kind of in a similar place where we just thought this was the greatest form of entertainment in the world, and we wanted to do it and work our asses off at it and make fans all around the world or make a product that they could all enjoy, and that they could love again. And so it's what people are throwing my name at the top of it. It's their era, every bit as much as mine. I can't do this without all of them. I need them to do it. And two of the people at the very tippity top of that—one is new here but has just been, no pun intended, a game changer. ## Lee Fitting from a production standpoint, from what we're doing, from the look, the feel. All of it, you see changes happening every week on TV, and there's going to be more of them, but you see them and I see people excited by them and just loving the changes that are made. But I'm telling you there's so much more to come like we made a conscious decision together to sort of lean Nick and myself to slowly roll out some of those changes. Over time. ## There's a lot more coming. But when I tell you Lee Fitting that I love working with him, he has a passion for this just like we do. Might be new here but and he's all in and for me. He's the kind of guy that I want to go to work for, I want to, I want to, I want to do stuff to make his job easier and I want to collaborate with him and I want to make things better with him. So I can't say enough good stuff about him. ## A lot of the change that you see and a lot of this success that you're seeing comes from Lee Fitting and then Nick Khan, I can't even begin to describe the change that he's made here. And as if you wanted to boil it all down to a spear tip. It should be, he should be mentioned in the top of that it's his era too because there's nobody right now. I don't even know how to say it. It's it's such an amazing partnership with a guy that I have so much respect for, manages clicks and he's the biggest difference-maker I've ever seen. And together, I can promise people with everything else I just mentioned with Lee but Nick at the top of it...there's no ceiling on this. We're gonna take you places it's never been before. So I just want to thank those guys and say when they say whatever era they want to call it, know that's for you just as much as it is for me." ## If you use any of the quotes above, please credit the source with a h/t and link back to Sacnilk for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WrestleMania Goes Patriotic Under Triple H's Watch: National Anthem Replaces America the Beautiful

A subtle but symbolic shift took place at WrestleMania 40 last night, marking a potential change in direction under the leadership of Paul "Triple H" Levesque. ## For the first time in recent memory, WrestleMania kicked off with a live performance of the U.S. national anthem by singer Coco Jones, replacing the traditional rendition of America the Beautiful.## According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, this change stems from Vince McMahon's personal preference. Meltzer claims McMahon "hated" the national anthem, favoring America the Beautiful instead. With McMahon's recent departure from the company, Triple H appears to be steering WrestleMania in a new direction, embracing a more patriotic opening for the event.## This isn't the only indication of a changing of the guard. WrestleMania 40 also featured surprise appearances from celebrities like Jason Kelce and Lil Wayne, adding a layer of mainstream appeal that may not have been as prevalent under McMahon's leadership.## Fans eagerly await tonight's WrestleMania 40 Night Two to see if more subtle cues emerge hinting at Triple H's vision for the future of WWE.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Triple H Praises The Rock's Composure At WrestleMania 40: 'Awe Inspiring'

WrestleMania 40 witnessed a legendary comeback as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stepped back into the squared circle for a tag team match alongside his cousin, Roman Reigns. ## This marked The Rock's first proper match since defeating Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32 a staggering eight years ago. The electrifying atmosphere crackled as The Rock and Reigns battled Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40's first night. ## The match wasn't without its tense moments. Reigns accidentally speared his own teammate, but the duo persevered to secure victory. This win ensured that Reigns' upcoming WWE Undisputed Universal Championship match against Rhodes on WrestleMania Sunday will be contested under the brutal "Bloodline Rules" (no holds barred). ## Speaking to WrestleMania XL Saturday Press Conference, Triple H elaborated on The Rock's performance. ## "He loves this, and he's gonna throw caution to the wind, he's gonna do it, right? And it's gonna be amazing, but he's gonna go all out in that. When you've done this a long time and you're around it every day like that, you see composure in people. That, I can spot it in people now, it's my job to spot it in people now, right, to some degree. So, I can spot it and tell you who's comfortable, who's not, who's running through a bunch of stuff and doesn't feel it, who's just doing things. The most impressive thing to me was his composure and his being in the moment and his feel. ## So, I can see him feeling everything that was happening, I can see it resonating in him, and I can see his composure. When you haven't done this for a while and adrenaline hits you and you're in front of all those people, and, man, you're zoned in fast, and you move fast with it, and you think you're not, but you are. And it's the thing that you see stars that have been doing this a long time that have really gotten to that next level, that there's a calm. ## He was calm. And to be gone that long and be that calm and that composed and that in control and feel and let it happen and feel it and digest it, and then let it come out of you, there's not very many people that can do that. Cuz that's the part that escapes you. You still do all the same stuff maybe, you still know where to put it all, you still know the reactions that it might get, but that composure is what makes the magic. And he still has that magic, he still feels every single bit of it. Again, though, it's why he gets the goosebumps, right? That's a part of it. So if I was to say anything, it's that composure, having been gone that long, that just, to me, that's awe inspiring." ## If you use these quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The Rock: 'Triple H Has Done A Tremendous Job As Our Chief Creative Officer'

This WrestleMania is historic for being the first held after the wrestling company merged with Endeavor, owner of rival MMA promotion UFC. The combined entity, TKO Group Holdings, now takes the reins. This marks a shift, as the McMahon family is no longer in control. ## This year's WrestleMania ushers in a new era with Triple H at the helm of creative. The WWE Universe applauds his strategic genius for crafting an impressive match card for both nights of the Grandest Stage of them All. ## At the WWE WrestleMania 40 Post-Show Press Conference, The Rock praised Triple H's influence over the company and stated that he has done a tremendous job as the chief creative officer. ## "I think the Triple H has done a tremendous job as our chief creative officer I think that's his title he has earned. He has a few and earned every single one of them, I like ushering in new things and new times and new eras and it feels like and our world here and professional wrestling. It is a new era that we're ushering in. ## I talked to Paul Lovak Triple H earlier as we were kicking off and kicking off the show tonight and without giving any detail on what we talked about, like it was a special night for him. This was the beginning of something and marking the beginning of something new for him under his creative. And I think from a company standpoint, this is an exciting time for the company for WWE. It's an exciting time for TKO. You felt the convergence towards the end of the year when the acquisition happened. ## You felt the convergence in the first quarter of the year, as I was fortunate enough to come back, and as we kind of traverse our way through what the storylines could look like. And so it's an exciting time, and I think we capped off day one of WrestleMania this Wrestlemania that we have stated was going to be the biggest of all time, which is really saying a lot obviously considering given the givens and how many great WrestleMania there has been in the past so I thought that we collectively as a company and as a team put out a really good show tonight. And the best part about putting on a great show tonight is you get to do it all over again tomorrow." ## If you use these quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
