Triple H is putting the \"wrestling\" back in WWE.
When Vince McMahon retired from WWE in July, his son-in-law Paul \'Triple H\' Levesque replaced the ex-Chairman as Head of Creative.
As both the Head of Creative and Head of Talent Creative, Triple H has implemented several changes, bringing back several Superstars released under the previous regime.
The change in WWE management has also had an impact on the in-ring action, as the wrestling in \'World Wrestling Entertainment\' has become more prominent.

WWE fans have been eager to see what this \"new era\" brings. With Triple H serving as the new head of talent relations, he\'s already brought back several performers including Dakota Kai, Io Sky, Hit Row, Karrion Kross and Scarlett. As the head of creative, it\'s encouraging that we\'re already seeing more in-ring wrestling per week.
