News on Triple H, Nick Khan and Vince McMahon's rumored meeting
Added 2023-07-07 23:50:56 +0000 UTCThere were rumors recently that Triple H and Nick Khan were planning a “creative intervention meeting” with Vince McMahon.
McMahon is currently backstage in his office at WWE Smackdown at Madison Square Garden, and has been making heavy changes to recent WWE shows. Most of the changes have been made remotely, and have featured some advertised matches completely pulled from the show. The rumor was that Triple H and Nick Khan were planning to ask McMahon to step back from making late, heavy changes.
The initial rumor was that the meeting was to take place at the June 26 episode of Raw, which we’ve confirmed did not happen. There were longtime sources that heard of the possibility of a meeting, but also said that they’d never heard it actually took place. Talent that we spoke to said that usually that type of thing would happen in the middle of the week instead of directly ahead of Raw, unless it was a talent meeting.
Based on what we’ve heard so far, no such meeting has occurred or is planned. Vince McMahon is in a position to where such a meeting could only be a recommendation. Khan and Triple H can not force him out.
When we asked a WWE official about the rumors, they claimed that there was no truth to it whatsoever, and dismissed it as silly. It’s worth noting that for quite a while, WWE higher ups previously dismissed the idea of Vince McMahon returning to creative for quite some time.

The only way it could happen would be Nick Khan threatening to leave if he didn’t. We’re at the point now where Nick is more valuable to the company than Vince is due to his connections and ability to negotiate TV rights deals.

2023-07-08 12:27:18 +0000 UTCI feel like vince would just dig in his heels deeper if people were to come at him. He's even said he's regretted listenting to people who told him to step down way back when.

2023-07-08 04:29:46 +0000 UTC40 minute Bloodline segment. Along with matches that were announced…no time. However with Theory retaining the US title. I wouldn’t be surprised if Knight challenges him next week..

2023-07-08 01:50:26 +0000 UTCIs this why they won’t put LA Knight on TV at MSG because the old man won’t allow it?

2023-07-08 00:05:24 +0000 UTCYep, if he wants to, he can oust them. He won't, but, in the same breath, they can't. If push came to shove, he still has actual power, beyond a title, with his position on the board and considerable amount of stock.

2023-07-07 23:59:04 +0000 UTCI’d be willing to bet the meeting happened and they’re just denying. Hopefully it did and the message was received.

2023-07-07 23:57:19 +0000 UTCI imagine such a “recommendation” would just make Vince more determined. He loves to be right!
