Monday Night RAWsNetflix debut on January 6 kicked off with Triple H introducing fans to the new era of WWE. Triple H has been at the helm since taking over as the Head of Creative in WWE back in 2022 and while many fans are happy with how he has turned WWE around, a former WWE star has criticized Triple H for overexposing himself.
While speaking on The Stevie Richards Show, Stevie Richards shared his thoughts on Triple Hs role in WWE, criticizing how the New Era concept is being overused. He noted that Triple H has been pushing this idea heavily at events like WrestleMania, Raw, and even on Netflix since Vince McMahon left in early 2024. However, Richards said that constantly calling everything a New Era makes it lose meaning, comparing it to how Dixie Carter often claimed she was changing wrestling during her time in TNA.
Richards also pointed out that Triple H seems to be everywhere in WWE programming, even though he cant wrestle anymore due to medical issues. He mentioned examples, like Triple H getting involved in storylines with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, where nothing physical can happen because of his condition.
Richards compared this to independent wrestling promoters who make themselves the stars of their own shows, stating that Triple Hs involvement might actually hurt WWE. He added that if WWE is trying to show they have moved on from Vince McMahons influence, they could be causing more harm to their own product.
As Triple H leads WWEs creative direction, Richards comments bring up the issue of balancing leadership and overexposure in wrestling. Despite this, Triple H will keep running WWE his way, and thats not likely to change anytime soon.
