# 6 Changes Triple H Could Make To WWE After WrestleMania

I’m always a little anxious whenever I start one of these lists with the premise “here’s what Triple H could do going forward”, because it still feels like he could be yanked from his big goth throne at any moment and replaced with the guy who gave us 20 straight years of needlessly halted pushes and “can they co-exist?”

For the time being, though, it feels like The Game has a pretty good handle on things; I mean, if he’s managed to stick around for this long, he’s probably going to be there for a long time.

With that in mind, it’s worth thinking about what the future could hold for WWE with Trips in charge, as he gains more and more freedom to shape the company according to his own creative direction.

While much of what Triple H has done so far has been good-to-great, it has felt a little bit like he’s been playing with a net up, as he clears away the remnants of Vince McMahon’s WWE.

But as we approach WrestleMania – the de facto season finale of WWE – it’s time to look ahead at what Triple H’s first uninterrupted full year in the company could hold; and what kind of changes he could bring to the table.

Here are six changes Triple H could make to WWE after WrestleMania.

## Split The Undisputed Belts

When Vince McMahon’s WWE made the bold creative decision to unify both sets of tag belts, as well as the WWE and Universal Championships, many of us wondered: wait, is there actually a plan here, or is WWE just doing that thing they do sometimes?

To nobody’s surprise there wasn’t really a plan at all, and the company immediately started to struggle with the fact that the lion’s share of its top belts were being held hostage by a stable that doesn’t appear on both of its TV shows every week.

It wouldn’t have even been that bad if they weren’t also sitting on people who simply could not lose, because they were also being built up as record-setting unbeatable juggernauts.

While the Cerebral Assassin has managed to course-correct a little bit since taking over, by elevating both the US and Intercontinental Championships, it’s definitely time for WWE to start making moves towards separating their top titles.

This is actually something that could happen as soon as WrestleMania itself, as both the Usos and Roman Reigns seem set to finally eat a pin at this year’s upcoming Show of Shows.

However, with the card shaping up the way it currently seems to be, it’s looking like both sets of Undisputed Titles could end up on another team/person respectively

With that in mind, it looks like it’ll still be up to Triple H to step in post-’Mania to finally cut these particular Gordian Knots.

## Make The Draft Meaningful

For the past few years, the WWE draft has suffered from two pretty big problems:

a) They tended to happen right before Survivor Series, which up until 2022 was brand vs brand, making the subsequent war of the primary colored shirts a bit meaningless.

And b), they always seemed a little pointless, with stars drafted seemingly at random, and no real attempt to stop them from crossing over to the other show when WWE inevitably realized they’d been too hasty.

While WWE could probably do away with the draft altogether at this point, it’s something that people still look forward to, and injects a “real sport” element to the product that can sometimes be lacking (like, for example, when the Miz has to fight zombies).

A return to those early days of the draft – when authority figures would actually fight over who gets to go where, and wrestlers are actively involved in the decision making – could make for some really engaging storylines during that post-SummerSlam part of the year where there isn’t a whole lot going on.

## Fix Raw’s Three-Hour Run Time

So this is a bit of a weird one, because when I say “fix the run time” I’m not necessarily advocating for Raw to lose an hour.

Don’t get me wrong, I watch Raw as part of my job, and an hour less of wrestling a week would mean I’d have more time to do things like pursue a hobby or spend time with my family (or at least watch different wrestling).

But I’m not naive, and I know that the third hour of Raw is too profitable for WWE to ever truly give up.

I don’t have a concrete suggestion for how they could do this, but WWE desperately needs to do something with Raw’s run time to avoid the show feeling like a continuous slog.

Adam Blampied once had a great suggestion for this (in a video appropriately titled How Adam Would Book… WWE When Vince Retires) proposing that Raw dedicates the third hour to reruns of classic Attitude Era moments.

That could work. Or they could make the third hour something completely different; like make it its own separate show almost, maybe with its roster, and more gritty content, and…

I just invented Raw: Underground, didn’t I?

## Add A Women’s Midcard Title

WWE’s women’s division is great, when taken as a whole.

But its midcard in particular leaves a lot to be desired.

Most of the time, WWE tends to focus on the usual main event calibre suspects of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Ronda Rousey, Bayley, Asuka and so on.

It isn’t hard to see why; what exactly is the rest of the division supposed to be fighting for, if not the only two belts on the card that actually matter (sorry, Women’s Tag Team Championship)?

A women’s midcard title could really help here, acting as most midcard titles do by giving the rest of the division a macguffin to pursue when there’s no good in-story reason for a feud.

There’s usually some pushback on this idea, primarily because of how the aforementioned tag team belts have been handled, but there’s no reason in a company where the men have two midcard titles that the women can’t have at least one.

AEW has already proved that this can work, using their TBS Championship to elevate Jade Cargill to main event level threat while staying firmly in the division’s midcard.

And if your women’s division is being compared unfavorably to AEW’s, you know you’re in trouble.

## Commission More Memorable Entrance Themes

The Royal Rumble was great this year, wasn’t it? Full of great mini-feuds and faceoffs. It was everything a Rumble should be.

You know what wasn’t great though? Waiting ten seconds after every wrestler’s entrance music hit to figure out who exactly was making their way to the ring.

WWE’s issues with its entrance themes have been well-documented, as they lost a lot of their behind-the-scenes musical talent to contract disputes and the like, forcing them to instead use generic-sounding knock offs.

But music is such a core part of a wrestler’s identity, it seems like such a weird thing to let fall by the wayside

It’s like if somebody made a copyright claim on the RKO so every wrestler was forced to use variations on the spear as their finishing move (okay, bad example).

Tracking down solid musical talent and giving wrestlers memorable, recognizable theme tunes should be at the top of Triple H’s wish list this year (and no, Paul, you can’t just give everybody Motorhead songs).

## Establish A Partnership With Another Major Company

This is one of those things that absolutely would not have been the case before Triple H took over, but now every time Corey Graves marks out about New Japan an angel gets its wings.

This is still very much something that Triple H won’t be able to do alone, as not giving a bunch of free advertising to a rival brand is pretty much the first thing they teach you in billionaire school.

But as the world becomes more open to the idea of things like “multiverses” in its media consumption, WWE would be smart to strike while the iron is hot and reach out to some other popular brands to swap toys for a little while.

We’ve already seen shades of this, as Karl Anderson was allowed to defend his NJPW NEVER Openweight Title on two separate New Japan shows (including the company’s WrestleMania equivalent Wrestle Kingdom), and Shinsuke Nakamura was given a pass to go and make out with the Great Muta in Pro Wrestling NOAH.

We probably won’t get a full WWE X AEW Forbidden Door-type scenario any time soon (especially if Tony Khan keeps insisting on dunking on his bigger brother), but expect to see more collaborations with global wrestling partners as the year goes on.
