Becky Lynch: Triple H Sees Things Through, Re-Written Shows Were Notorious Before That

Vince McMahon is no longer a part of WWE. The current head of creative is WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H. Recently, former WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch shared her thoughts on how The Game is running things.

While speaking on the Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast, The Man opened up about how Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque is running WWE. She mentioned that The Game has a long-term vision and always plans on seeing through every storyline. Becky Lynch also mentioned the issues that were present when Vince McMahon was running things.

“Consistency I think is the name of the game. And so, Paul tends to have a long-term vision of something and an idea of something and executes. Whereas before, it was notorious. The show was being rewritten as it was going on and we were live on TV and people didn’t know what was happening in the third hour. And there would be stories that would start and then Vince would change his mind and things would… You know. And so… With Paul it’s… He sees things through.

“And for better or worse that gives a different viewing experience. Because so whether you like the story or not, you are going to see it through. But also I think it’s good because you might not like the story on week two. But you don’t know where it is going on week four. And so, if we listen to people saying, ‘Yeah, but we don’t like the story on week two.’ Well then, you might never get the magic that you were going to get on week four.”

Becky Lynch: It is important to listen to the audience to a certain degree

The Man also mentioned that sometimes it is fine to not listen to the audience. She used her feud with The EST of WWE, Bianca Belair as an example.

“And so, I think it is important to listen to the audience to a certain degree. But here’s the thing, wrestling is intended to elicit emotional responses. For example, when I beat Bianca Belair in 26 seconds, people were outraged. Good! You were meant to be outraged, you were meant to want to see her succeed. And then I started talking about her hair. And people were outraged that I might touch her hair. They were outraged… If you don’t know where we are going…

“Also, I am a heel. You are meant to be outraged by the things I do. And please understand that that is a heel. A heel isn’t somebody that gives cool zingers. It is somebody that is unlikeable, that you want to see the babyface overthrow… But the thing is that if we don’t see things through, then you don’t get the magic at the end of the story. And it is important to listen to the audience but it is also, sometimes for the greater good it is important to not listen,” Becky Lynch said.
