During the WWE SummerSlam press conference, Triple H was queried about the extent of Vince’s involvement. He articulated,, “The reason WWE is what it is, the reason this business, not just WWE, you could make an argument, a very valid one, that without Vince and his vision for this business, maybe it wouldn’t be here anymore. There were things at that time, back in the day, that were very popular, roller derby, things like that, that just disappeared off the face of the planet. The vision of what he did changed the business, changed all of it, for 50 years. An incredible run of success. No greater mind in the business. At this point in time, if all of us, didn’t look in moments of time for counsel from him on thoughts or ideas or if we have a question, to go to him and ask, we’d be silly not to. It’s sitting next to someone that has forgotten more about this than you’ll ever know. To not utilize that in some aspect…is he day-to-day? No. Is he in it all the time? No. If anybody has, he’s earned that right to be able to do that.”
On July 21, 2023, Vince McMahon commenced medical leave following a significant spinal surgery. Although he will remain on medical leave until further notice, he will continue serving as the Executive Chairman of the Company. Triple H did not possess an update regarding the anticipated duration of McMahon’s recovery.
