News on Triple H, Nick Khan and Vince McMahon's rumored meeting (Patreon)

There were rumors recently that Triple H and Nick Khan were planning a “creative intervention meeting” with Vince McMahon.

McMahon is currently backstage in his office at WWE Smackdown at Madison Square Garden, and has been making heavy changes to recent WWE shows. Most of the changes have been made remotely, and have featured some advertised matches completely pulled from the show. The rumor was that Triple H and Nick Khan were planning to ask McMahon to step back from making late, heavy changes.

The initial rumor was that the meeting was to take place at the June 26 episode of Raw, which we’ve confirmed did not happen. There were longtime sources that heard of the possibility of a meeting, but also said that they’d never heard it actually took place. Talent that we spoke to said that usually that type of thing would happen in the middle of the week instead of directly ahead of Raw, unless it was a talent meeting.

Based on what we’ve heard so far, no such meeting has occurred or is planned. Vince McMahon is in a position to where such a meeting could only be a recommendation. Khan and Triple H can not force him out.

When we asked a WWE official about the rumors, they claimed that there was no truth to it whatsoever, and dismissed it as silly. It’s worth noting that for quite a while, WWE higher ups previously dismissed the idea of Vince McMahon returning to creative for quite some time.
