Triple H: Vince McMahon allegations are ‘totally separate and aside from what we do’

During an appearance on The Sports Agents, Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed how WWE has moved forward following the allegations that have been made against Vince McMahon.

McMahon resigned from WWE in January 2024 in the wake of a lawsuit filed by former company employee Janel Grant, who has accused McMahon of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. McMahon and WWE as a company are both named as defendants in the suit, which is still ongoing.

The Sports Agents — whose host stressed that McMahon has always denied the allegations — asked Levesque how WWE has dealt with the fallout of the situation.

“For us as a company, creative, you know, all we can do is move forward. And allegations are allegations, right? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life,” Levesque said. “Nobody is perfect. But accusations are made, and that’s a whole legal thing that is totally separate and aside from what we do.

“My job is to put on the best creative product that WWE can do. And luckily and happily, it’s been successful and it’s been working wonderfully. Business is in an incredible place right now and continuing to grow, especially with our partners at Netflix, and NBC, and CW, and everyone in between. It’s a wonderful time in our business and fans are enjoying it. So we’re headed in a good direction.”

The Sports Agents also asked Levesque if he’s been surprised by how much there is to learn stepping into the role of head of creative.

“Yes and no,” Levesque responded. “You know, I’d been sitting under that learning tree that was Vince McMahon and so many others — from Pat Patterson to Jack Lanza to a lot of people sitting in that learning tree. So I understood. But when they’re your decisions to make, and as the business grows, yeah, the challenges become bigger and bigger. The pull at your time and your mental focus to stay in a creative place — yeah, there’s so much that goes into it.

“It’s hard not to be surprised by it. It’s hard not to be slightly overwhelmed by it. But at the end of the day, you have — or at least I have — an incredible support team around me of writers and producers and performers that are all weighing in to help make the product everything that it is.

“So to me, that’s my favorite part about it is sitting around with talented people and creatively coming up with ideas and riffing. I would imagine it’s like a band creating music where they all just sit around and have the parts that they put into it and then are just blown away by the outcome of it. It’s a wonderful process for me. Shocking to some degree, yes, but in some ways, everything I expected it to be.”
