Triple H On How WWE Plans To Compete With AEW

Last year AEW Dynamite premiered on TNT, and since then the show has been going head to head with NXT on Wednesday nights. AEW provides another place for wrestlers to work, and quite a few WWE stars have jumped ship since the launch of the company.

AEW has beaten NXT most weeks in the ratings, and as most wrestling fans know NXT is Triple H’s baby.

Triple H recently talked about competing with AEW on the Bill Simmons Podcast, and he pointed out that WWE has a history of adapting as a company.

“It keeps you fresh and strong. When you look back over this, and I’m not gonna belittle anybody’s anything because that’s not the intent. But when you look back at a track record of a company that can shift pivot and move. It might take time, and it doesn’t happen on a Thursday. It just takes time effort and there’s a lot of pieces to move. But a company that historically, over and over again that has recreated itself, reinvented itself, stayed relevant to the next wave as it was coming in, and shifting with that and being able to ebb and flow. It is the strength of this company.

People will talk about hard work, and anybody that can outwork Vince McMahon, god bless them. He’s worn out more people than I can count, trust me. It’s what we do. I would put my money on this. People ask me a lot of times did I ever contemplate leaving in the Monday Night Wars to go someplace else. I said I’ve been there and I’ve been here. Once I met Vince and saw that level of passion, dedication, and everything else. There was no way this guy was losing. Absolutely no way. It’s awe-inspiring. He will pivot, shift, and put the people around him he needs to pivot and shift, and it will work.”
