WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque appeared on the High Performance podcast to discuss various topics, including the logic behind wrestling storylines and how it influences his creative process.

Triple H said, โ€œIn the storytelling aspect of it, thereโ€™s so many variations of what we do, right? Andโ€ฆone of the things thatโ€™s amazing about WWE and what we do is our ability to sort ofโ€ฆitโ€™s its own world, right? So it doesnโ€™t always have to make sense. It does. Like, it has to follow your logic. You canโ€™t be like โ€˜How did that happen?โ€™ It has to follow some form of logic, but in one hand, you can have two performers in almostโ€ฆthe build is almost like a sporting event, right? Two champions match [up], and the two guys are training, and oneโ€™s a little bit of the underdog, and the other is a dominant champion. Youโ€™re sort of replicating a sports build. And then I can have The Undertaker, on the other hand, when he puts his arms up, the lights come on, andโ€ฆhe has magic powers, andโ€ฆyou just canโ€™t stop him. Youโ€™ll hit him with a big move, and he sits up like heโ€™s in a movie. The characterโ€™s fantastic and crazy and out there.โ€
