Vince McMahon's Rivalry with Triple H Over NXT

Vince McMahon, the former chairman of WWE, reportedly had a contentious relationship with the NXT brand, created by his son-in-law, Triple H. According to Jonathan Coachman on the podcast 'Behind the Turnbuckle,' McMahon disliked NXT's success because it was not his idea, leading to a lack of push for NXT stars like Bryan Danielson and Keith Lee. Kevin Nash further revealed that Triple H considered leaving WWE if McMahon resumed full creative control after his brief return in 2023. Despite McMahon's attempts to undermine NXT's popularity, the brand has thrived under Triple H's leadership, contributing to WWE's current success. With ticket sales rising and a new media rights deal with Netflix, WWE's business is flourishing under Triple H's vision. The ongoing dynamics within WWE highlight a shift in creative leadership and the significance of ideas being recognized and credited appropriately.
