Triple H has overseen the creative direction of WWE since he replaced 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 had the highest ratings in the show's history. In 1999, he left the company to join WCW after being told to do so by McMahon Hire a nanny To take care of his children.

In an interview on Hannibal TVRusso said Triple H was a “great wrestler” but questioned his ability as a writer. He also raised concerns about RAW and SmackDown becoming two weekly three-hour shows:

“I watch these shows and all I see are the same angles repeated over and over and over ad nauseam,” Russo said. “That tells me that Triple H is creatively bankrupt, so he needs to either step aside and get some people in there that understand writing and know how to write a TV show and understand wrestling, or like you said bro, six hours of work. WWE, The Weekly, you know How old and boring will this get? (35:07 – 35:49)

“Yes bro, they'll probably be able to ride the wave between now and WrestleMania,” Russo continued. “They've got Cena in their pocket, and they'll probably bring The Rock back, and Logan Paul will come back. They'll pull every rabbit out of that hat. As soon as WrestleMania's over, bro, and that tank's empty, good luck. With six hours of TV every week.” (35:49 – 36:16)
