5 Better options for WWE's head of creative than Triple H

WWE Hall of Famer Triple H is the Chief Content Officer and the main roster's head of creative. The Stamford-based promotion has received much heat in recent times for various reasons, including the booking decisions made by The Game and his team.

Amid the chaos, there has been chatter among fans and pundits that Triple H might be replaced as WWE's head of creative after he seemingly fumbled John Cena's final match. Cena shockingly tapped out to Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII in his last bout, and the move didn't sit well with several viewers.

In this article, we will explore five names who could be better options for WWE’s head of creative than Triple H.

#5. The Rock

The Rock is part of TKO's Board of Directors, the parent company of the Stamford-based promotion. He seemingly holds significant power in World Wrestling Entertainment. Every time The Final Boss appears on television, fans erupt.

He was last seen on WWE television earlier this year at the Elimination Chamber 2025 Premium Live Event. The Rock is a pro wrestling veteran and has been part of several blockbuster storylines in his career. He could be the ideal candidate to lead the company's creative team and usher in a new era.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker

The Undertaker retired from World Wrestling Entertainment in 2020. Despite hanging up his boots, The Phenom has been working with the sports entertainment juggernaut as an ambassador, making surprise appearances for the company and hosting shows.

Currently, The Deadman is leading the creative team of AAA, a WWE-owned wrestling promotion. Given the success he has experienced leading AAA creative and his pedigree as a performer, he could become World Wrestling Entertainment's head of creative.

#3. Shane McMahon

Former Chairman Vince McMahon's son, Shane McMahon, has been away from the company for a long time. His return to the Stamford-based promotion would be poetic.

He has extensive experience working in backstage roles and is a respected name in the WWE locker room. Hence, he could be a great choice as the new head of creative for the main roster.

#2. Paul Heyman

The Oracle Paul Heyman is widely regarded as one of the greatest minds in pro wrestling. Over the years, he has made significant contributions to the creative team, delivering several major storylines in different eras.

Heyman possesses every tool required to be the main roster's head of creative. Under his creative leadership, the company could produce some edgy and compelling storylines.

#1. Stephanie McMahon

The Billion Dollar Princess Stephanie McMahon has spent the majority of her life working for the World Wrestling Entertainment. Moreover, she was a major advocate for the women's revolution in the company.

Stephanie was the interim chairwoman of WWE before she announced her exit. However, she still makes surprise appearances for the company and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame next year. Given her experience in the business and successful track record, she could become the promotion's head of creative. Under her leadership, the creative team could book women in more prominent programs.
