Triple H has long been known to be Vince McMahon’s successor as the creative head of WWE. According to reports, Triple H’s ascension to the position will begin sooner than expected as Vince spends more time working on his new company and the XFL.

Triple H is also said to have already taken over booking for 205 Live and the cruiserweight division.

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon will be spending less time with WWE in the near future despite him saying that would not be the case during the XFL announcement. Triple H will then receive more booking influence on WWE’s product in his absence.

This is not the first time Vince has reportedly given up booking power. He has done so in the past only to reclaim it a short while later.

It should also be noted, however, that several WWE Superstars have disputed the accuracy of recent WON reports.

Seth Rollins disputed a report he has been working with an injured back, Jason Jordan’s wife disputed the seriousness of her husband’s injury, and Lars Sullivan insists he has not fallen off the face of the earth. The reports being disputed do not necessarily mean they are untrue, however.
