The promotion of Triple H to the role of Chief Content Officer comes after a forced reshuffle within the company following the departure of Vince McMahon.

McMahon left following a string of sexual allegations against him.

On June 16, it was reported that the board of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) had launched an investigation into CEO Vince McMahon, 76, who was accused of paying a ‘hush-money settlement’ to a departing employee he was having an affair with.
