Vince Russo questions the creativity of Triple H in WWE: 'He's not qualified'

Vince Russo has reignited controversy with his statements about WWE. During a recent edition of Writing with Russo, the former writer criticized Triple H's credentials as the company's creative leader and claimed that his position is not due to talent, but rather his family ties to the McMahons.

Russo admitted that he could see Triple H in a role as an agent or producer, even managing NXT alongside Shawn Michaels, but made it clear that heading the creative part of the company is a level that does not correspond to him. "If he hadn't married Stephanie, he would never be in that position. Absolutely not," he stated.

From a creative standpoint, he is not qualified at the most basic level. I'm talking about fundamentals, about the basics between a babyface and a heel. He doesn't have the preparation to handle that terrain.

The former writer compared the case to that of great athletes who, despite their achievements, do not always excel as coaches or leaders. In that package, he also included The Undertaker, who is currently part of the internal creative team. "These guys were great players, but writing, formatting, and directing a team of writers has nothing to do with how many championships you won," he pointed out.

Russo also criticized the "creative holes" that, in his opinion, plague WWE's product under The Game's leadership, and emphasized that the power dynamics within the company depend more on "who you know" than on "what you know". In his view, if Triple H hadn't married Stephanie, the one who should occupy that position would be Shane McMahon.

Vince Russo has sparked controversy in recent weeks due to his statements about WWE's creative direction, the way AJ Lee was presented to Becky Lynch, and even the disproportionate fame of the former women's champion.
