Arn Anderson Says No One But Triple H Should Run WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson has voiced his strong support for Paul “Triple H” Levesque as the creative force behind WWE, stating that no one else is more qualified for the role.

Speaking on his ARN podcast, Arn Anderson reflected on his longtime acquaintance with Triple H, recalling his early days in WCW and his passion for the business.

“I’ve known Triple H since he very first started in the business with WCW, and I liked him right away, I could just tell—here you got a young guy that’s a student of the business, he’s studying, he’s learning, and he’s asking questions.”

Triple H’s career trajectory saw him transition from WCW to WWE, where he became one of the most decorated wrestlers of all time. His shift from in-ring competitor to top executive has impressed Anderson, who believes he is uniquely suited to lead WWE’s creative direction.

“The evolution that he’s had… to be in the saddle where he is right now—you’ve got a wrestling person with a wrestling mind, but he’s smart enough, and he’s learned so much about the business, he’s into every other aspect—the marketing, you name it. He is a well-rounded boss.”

Since taking charge of WWE’s creative direction, Triple H has been widely praised for his approach to storytelling, talent development, and long-term booking. Anderson believes WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, fully recognises his value.

“If somebody asked me, ‘If it wasn’t him, who would you put in that seat?’ nobody comes to mind. He’s doing a phenomenal job across the board, and I’m sure TKO is very happy to have him and thrilled to have him because he’s a leader.”
