Triple H is the creator and executive producer of the developmental brand of WWE (NXT). Though Triple H is recovering well, ‘The Game’ is yet to take charge of his responsibilities in WWE. Until Triple H is fully fit, his good friend and former WWE superstar, Shawn Michaels, is taking charge of NXT. However, there have been rumors that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard have taken charge of NXT ever since it got rebranded.

In an interview with TV Insider, Shawn Michaels talked about his work routine since taking charge of NXT. He further shot down rumours of Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard controlling the developmental brand of WWE since it got rebranded back in September.

He said, “People out there thinking it’s all Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard type of production. They just are the ones who gave us the direction of what it is they wanted from NXT going into the future. It is still all the team Hunter [Triple H] put in place doing it here.” (h/t: comicbook)

“I love learning and growing in the different aspects of WWE, but I have a greater appreciation for everything he took on,” Shawn added.
