WWE President Nick Khan has revealed how former multi-time world champion and WWE CCO Triple H got him into the company.

WWE President Nick Khan has been one of the most important signings to the company. Khan has been responsible for the major media rights deals and significant changes to the company overall.

Many have wondered how the former high-profile agent became part of WWE management, but we now know how it all happened.

On the latest edition of The Pat McAfee Show, Nick Khan appeared and was asked how he was introduced to the world of WWE. Revealing that it was Triple H who got him into it, Khan said:

“Paul Levesque, the King of Kings, Triple H, he’s the one who introduced me to WWE.”

“When I was an agent, my prior profession, and I was trying to get into the WWE business, Paul had called me, an unsolicited call, and this is when Tim Tebow had just got cut by the Patriots.”

“Paul called me and said ‘Hey I just want to introduce myself, my name is Paul Levesque’, I said ‘Oh yeah, Triple H, I know who you are, I remember you as Terra Ryzing’.”

Revealing that Triple H originally contacted him for a match between Khan’s client Tim Tebow and WWE’s Big Show a few years ago, Khan said:

“I said ‘I know WWE, I grew up a fan, I was an usher at WrestleMania 9 at Caesar’s Palace’.”

“I asked what’s going on and he said ‘what do you think of Tim Tebow against the Big Show’ at whatever that WrestleMania was after the Patriots’ run.”

“He offered some financial terms, I called Tim at the time. Tim and I then had a top secret meeting, Tim Tebow, Myself, Vince McMahon and Triple H in Anaheim California about that.”

On how the deal never transpired, but it led to him being brought into WWE, Khan stated:

“Ultimately it didn’t happen but Triple H and I remained in touch and over time, he was the one who said to me ‘Hey, I think Vince may want to meet with you’.”

“I went (to Dallas), sat in a hotel room, Paul called me, said Vince was ready to meet. I went to Vince’s office, met with him, I pitched what I had to say, we shook hands on a deal and here we are.”
