After Vince’s retirement Stephanie McMahon helmed the position of Chairwoman of the company while also retaining the position of Co-CEO with Nick Khan. Triple H would be named as the head creative of the company as he has great experience in running the shows. As the creative director of NXT between 2015-19, which is also referred to as the black and golden era of the brand is considered one of the best runs for a developmental territory.
While there are substantial changes that have started to surface after the power change, it still remains intriguing how much the product evolve over time. Triple H’s booking of shows has been widely appreciated so far as The Game has already started bringing back the stars who went on a hiatus but were extremely talented. While Mysterio still juggles as a mid-carder it is unlikely that he will get a push for the WWE Universal Championship amid so many contendors.
It is likely that Mysterio with his son is going to be on the hunt for The Unified Tag Team Titles against The Usos. But when it comes to WWE you should never say never. Would like to see Rey Mysterio as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, let us know in the comments.
