Damian Priest Explains How WWE Has Changed Under Triple H

WWE

Raw star Damian Priest has named the biggest change to WWE following the change in management and Triple H taking over creative.

There have been many backstage changes following Vince McMahon’s retirement in July, with Triple H becoming the head of creative, before being elevated to Chief Content Officer.

Speaking with Gorilla Position, Damian Priest compared the WWE backstage environments pre and post-Vince McMahon.

Noting that there’s a level of comfortableness in the locker-room nowadays, Priest said:

“It’s just a little bit more fluent as far as the approach. There was this idea of Mr. McMahon I think more so than it actually was. Everybody just thought that guy on TV was the guy backstage, so there’s like a nervousness to approach him and speak to him.

“I think for most there’s a comfortableness because people have worked with (Triple H) for so long. Whether it’s on the other side when they’re standing across the ring, there’s that side. He’s very much the boss, but there’s just a familiarity and a comfortableness that it’s just different – a different vibe. So, I would say that’s the biggest change we’ve felt.”

Priest last wrestled on the September 5 edition of Raw, defeating Rey Mysterio in singles action.
