What if Triple H weren't Vince McMahon's successor?

PWTorch reader Jeff from Michigan asks: If for some reason Triple H wasn't Vince's successor, would Shane or Stephanie replace him, or would he choose another wrestler such as Mick Foley, the Rock, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, JBL, or even John Cena?

PWTorch senior columnist Bruce Mitchell answers: If Triple H wasn't Vince's successor, Stephanie McMahon would be. Period. She would hire experienced management whose first job would to be to make her feel comfortable running the company. The only person on that list I can imagine working in that capacity, and he has other fish in life to fry, is JBL.

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: It would've been Steph and it was going to be whether or not she married Triple H. Most of the other wrestlers listed have outside interests that would take their attention away from running WWE with a McMahon-like laser focus.

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: Stephanie would replace Vince McMahon as the leader of WWE if Triple H wasn't in position to be his successor. It has been clear for a long time that Stephanie was favored over Shane for that spot for a variety of reasons and, with Shane leaving WWE several years back to pursue his own ventures, it's highly doubtful he would take over for Vince McMahon now.
