It’s no big secret that for years WWE Superstars have been reciting scripted promos, but the company seems to be giving talent more freedom on the mic ever since Triple H took over creative back in July.
Zelina Vega recently explained what it’s like to work a WWE TV taping on the That’s Dope podcast, and during the appearance she noted that she’s established a foundation of trust with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
“Usually you know going into it who’s gonna win. When you get into the building, you’re gonna have a match with so and so. You’re gonna win. And if it plays into a certain story, there’s always like little things that they’ll tell you like, ‘Oh you have to make sure you do this’ or, ‘You have to make sure you hit this mark.’”
“When it comes to me because they’ve [Triple H and Stephanie McMahon] known me for a while, it’s like, ‘Hey we can already trust you on the microphone you’re not gonna say anything that’s gonna get us in trouble. You’re gonna keep to your character so here’s the skeleton of what we need from you and just fill in the meat.’ So that’s kinda how it goes.”
