Last Friday, Vince McMahon announced his retirement from WWE, after four decades as the unquestionable leader of the promotion.
A month after stepping down as CEO and Chairman of WWE, McMahon’s retirement saw him relinquish his role as head of WWE creative, which has been filled by Triple H.
In addition to being the head of WWE creative, the former WWE World Champion now serves as head of Talent Relations.
Kevin Dunn Staying
Much has changed behind the scenes in WWE, and one name fans expected to depart the company is Kevin Dunn.
Dunn, who serves as WWE’s Executive Vice President of TV Production has worked with the company for years, but is reportedly not liked by Triple H among others backstage.
It was recently reported that Dunn was expected to leave WWE within the next year, either of his own choice or by being forced out.
It now appears that Dunn will be sticking with WWE after all, as in a recent talk with the media, Triple H name-dropped Dunn as one of the people who is doing important work in the company.
“The Game” spoke about building on the company Vince McMahon created and seemingly confirmed that Dunn will be staying despite the reports.
“To take it [WWE] beyond where it is now, the only way we’re gonna do that is with a team. That’s with Steph [McMahon.] That’s with Nick Khan. That’s with myself. That’s with Kevin Dunn.”
Triple H on the team who will lead WWE into the future in the post-Vince McMahon era.
Tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown will be the first show fully under Triple H’s control.
While this week’s Raw came after McMahon’s retirement, the show had been written last week.
