Triple H says Nick Khan is the best businessman he has ever worked with, describing their partnership as a perfect blend of commercial acumen and genuine passion for professional wrestling.
Triple H shared the praise during his appearance with Stephen A. Smith.
I’ve never been around a better businessman. What is incredible is not only his mind for the business, rights fees, ratings, analyzing all those things, but he grew up a fan of this. He grew up a fan of boxing and combat sports, but especially of pro wrestling. He’s as deep a knowledge as anybody I’ve met out there. And he’s just straightforward. What you see is what you get, and man, I love working with him every day. To me, he and I together, it’s like this perfect partnership of being able to do the business side, but this energy that we both feel and have and love for this business like nothing else.
Khan joined WWE as President in August 2020, arriving from the Creative Artists Agency where he had spent over two decades as one of Hollywood’s most prominent sports media dealmakers. His fingerprints are on some of the most significant business decisions of WWE’s recent era, including the Netflix deal that moved Raw from USA Network beginning in January 2025, the merger with UFC parent company Endeavor that created TKO Group Holdings in 2023, and the transition to a premium live event model that has redefined WWE’s pay-per-view strategy.
