Undertaker Praises Triple H for Transforming WWE’s Backstage Culture

The Undertaker has spoken candidly about the major cultural shift happening in WWE’s backstage environment under the leadership of Triple H and Nick Khan.

Once known for its high-pressure atmosphere during Vince McMahon’s tenure, WWE’s backstage now exudes a relaxed and creative energy, a change that the Deadman attributes to the trust and positivity instilled by its current leadership. Reflecting on the difference on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker shared:

“It’s so chill backstage now… You’ve got people in corners shooting TikToks. I think it’s a testament to the trust Triple H and Nick Khan have in everyone to do their jobs.”

He contrasted this with the old days, where stress often trickled down from the top.

“Back in the day, if the boss was stressed, everyone else was stressed. Now, there’s a trust in the system that makes a difference.”

The shift, he says, stems largely from Triple H’s leadership style, which emphasizes collaboration, trust, and fostering a positive atmosphere.

“Triple H puts out so much positive energy, and it resonates with the whole team. It’s a completely different atmosphere.”

This new dynamic, The Undertaker noted, empowers talent to focus more on their creativity and performances, rather than worrying about backstage politics or pressure.

By prioritizing trust and confidence in his roster and staff, Triple H has cultivated an environment where performers can thrive. This transformation signals WWE’s modernization under its evolving leadership and highlights how backstage morale can directly impact the quality of the product fans see on-screen.

In closing, The Undertaker lauded Triple H and Nick Khan for ushering in this new era: a backstage culture built on trust, positivity, and creativity—a far cry from the high-pressure days of the previous regime.
