Rey Mysterio: Triple H Is Doing Incredible, It’s A Good Atmosphere
WWE has undergone many changes over the past year with the biggest one being Vince McMahon stepping down as WWE CEO in July 2022 amid allegations of sexual misconduct and hush money.
With Vince stepping down, Triple H took over creative duties in the company. Vince returned to the board of directors in January and was then reportedly back involved in creative, in remote fashion, throughout 2023. However, with the WWE-UFC merger, Triple H reportedly has full creative duties.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Rey Mysterio was asked about Vince taking a step back.
“That is wild. It’s wild not to see him. Even though we got used to him not being there, it’s just crazy to go to Gorilla and not see him there,” he said.
Asked if he could text Vince, Rey replied, “I’ve had texts and emails with him, not too many.”
Asked how things are going under Triple H’s leadership, Rey said, “He was part of the roster, so he understands what we do and go through. I don’t think they could have picked a better person to take that role. He’s been doing incredible. From the whole writing team, and him, and whoever the final person that gives the authorization to say, ‘that’s a go,’ it’s been doing really good. To a certain extent, we would have times where things would be changed last minute. Right now, things are flowing very smoothly, very very smooth. It’s a good atmosphere.”
Rey is the reigning WWE United States Champion and leads the LWO alongside Santos Escobar.
Elsewhere during the interview, Rey discussed a potential Hair vs. Mask match against his son Dominik Mysterio. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
