Triple H recently talked about the creative direction of WWE and also explained how they prefer to tell stories. Speaking on the “All-In” podcast, he stated;
“We tell stories. People within our business sometimes take this wrong, but we don’t write the shows based on, ‘That’ll be a great match.’ We write it on the stories that we can create: the protagonist, the antagonist, how that works with each other. Telling stories that can resonate with people. Something that maybe they’ve experienced in their real life. Some type of fantastical version of that.”

“There is a writer’s room. There’s a show right now on Netflix called Unreal, and it is, for the first time ever, a look behind the scenes at what we do. We let cameras into the writer room; we let them backstage at our shows so you see the production of the shows, you see what goes into it. You know, there are months of planning that go into stuff.”
“We’re looking now at WrestleMania in Vegas in April—what those matches are going to be and how we want to get there. What is the storyline arc that takes us there over time? I would say we’re much more akin to, like, the Marvel Universe—where you’re planning out long term where the movies fit and how they go with all the characters—than we are direct MMA at the end of the day.” said Triple H.
