WWE employee details major change since Vince McMahon’s exit amid $5billion Netflix move
WWE ambassador Titus O’Neil has revealed what has changed at the company since Triple H took over from Vince McMahon.
McMahon, 79, was the chief of wrestling’s biggest organisation for four decades.
But WWE legend Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, replaced him as head of the company last year.
He is overseeing the $5billion move to Netflix – which will see the streaming platform air Monday Night Raw from January.
And O’Neil, real name Thaddeus Bullard, who is a former professional wrestler turned WWE ambassador, has specified the major change Triple H has made.
He believes the new regime has allowed wrestlers to be “more open and forthright”.
Speaking to Two Man Power Trip, he said: “I think Triple H for sure has been a great steward of the resources that the WWE platform has provided even with the merger.
“I think one of the things that I enjoy about what Triple H does, he has allowed talent to tap into their philanthropic endeavours more, things that people are more passionate about, they’re able to be more open and forthright about as well.
“Everyone that’s involved with this platform has an opportunity to change people’s lives forever and if we don’t take that opportunity to do so then we’re just mismanaging what God has given us.”
Raw’s move to Netflix means viewers in the US, Canada, UK and Latin America will all view the shows on the streaming platform.

Triple H teased another major change earlier in April when he hinted at the possibility of staging WrestleMania outside the US for the first time – with the UK seemingly the preferred destination.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: “London is already the sporting capital of the world.
“If I’m re-elected next Thursday – we’ll go even further.
“We’ll look to bring WrestleMania, Superbowl and the NBA to London, and put together another bid for the 2040 Olympics.”
Triple H responded: “Let’s talk.”
Before Khan added: “I’ll be in touch.”
