Vince McMahon’s power in WWE continues to fall.
Since Vince McMahon’s return to WWE to handle the sale of the company to Endeavor, many fans have questioned his role within the creative process of WWE. While he has made major changes, the bulk of creative has reportedly still rested with Triple H.
However, now under Endeavor, Triple H has resumed full creative control, with McMahon being pushed backwards out of the creative process by WWE’s parent company.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that McMahon’s power in WWE has been marginalized by Endeavor.
“Well, he’s out of creative. It’s a big story because Ari Emanuel, when they were on the verge of closing the deal, and had actually closed the deal in April, did media rounds and (said), ‘Vince will be in charge of the company (WWE), and if me and Vince have a disagreement, it goes the way Vince wants because Vince is the guy’. “So then the deal went through, it only really went through about a month ago, and already, Vince is out of creative because of Ari Emanuel. “So this is a real interesting thing because it is the first time – Vince is now in the position that his father was in in ‘84 when his father had run the company for years and years and years, and (then) he was just an employee of Vince Jr… although he hates that term – Vincent Kennedy McMahon. “Vincent Kennedy McMahon was the guy making all the decisions, and now, Vince was in fact overruled, even though when he merged the company he was told this would not happen. It did happen. And it’s a really interesting thing. And that statement when Ari Emanuel was talking about the reasons the stock is down, and he mentioned Vince’s name. So, it is very interesting I think what is going to happen. “But Vince’s power’s clearly marginalized, there’s no way around that.”

We will have to wait and see how McMahon’s power continues to be marginalized within the company.
