Triple H has overseen the creative direction of WWE since replacing his father-in-law Vince McMahon in July 2022. Vince Russo, WWE's head writer in the late 1990s, believes The Game should consider stepping aside.
Russo wrote storylines for WWE when RAW regularly drew the highest ratings in the show's history. In 1999, he left the company to join WCW after McMahon told him he had to hiring a nanny to look after their children.
in an interview about Hannibal TVRusso said Triple H is a “great wrestler” but questioned his ability as a writer. He also expressed his concerns about RAW and SmackDown becoming three-hour weekly shows:
“I watch these shows and all I see are the same angles repeated over and over ad nauseam,” Russo said. “That tells me that Triple H is creatively broke, so he's either got to step aside and get some people in there who understand writing, who understand writing a TV show and wrestling, or like I said, bro, six hours of WWE , weekly, do you know how old and boring that would be?” (35:07 – 35:49)

Vince Russo on Triple H's plan for early 2025
WrestleMania 41 will be held in Las Vegas on April 19-20. Before that, several big names are expected to return, including John Cena, Logan Paul and The Rock. RAW will also debut on Netflix on January 6th.
With so much buzz around WWE right now, Vince Russo expects Triple H to have plenty of creative options ahead of WrestleMania. However, after Show of Shows, he thinks the storyline issues will resurface:
“Yeah bro, they'll probably be able to ride the wave from now until WrestleMania,” Russo said. “They've got Cena in their pocket, they're probably going to bring The Rock back, Logan Paul is coming back. They're going to pull every rabbit out of that hat. As soon as WrestleMania is over, bro, that tank is empty, good luck with six hours of television every week.” (35:49 – 36:16)
Rousseau too he explained why he thinks Roman Reigns' Bloodline storyline is “boring” and not as exciting as many fans think.
