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, โIn the storytelling aspect of it, thereโs so many variations of what we do, right? Andโฆone of the things thatโs amazing about WWE and what we do is our ability to sort ofโฆitโs its own world, right? So it doesnโt always have to make sense. It does. Like, it has to follow your logic. You canโt be like โHow did that happen?โ It has to follow some form of logic, but in one hand, you can have two performers in almostโฆthe build is almost like a sporting event, right? Two champions match [up], and the two guys are training, and oneโs a little bit of the underdog, and the other is a dominant champion. Youโre 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, andโฆhe has magic powers, andโฆyou just canโt stop him. Youโll hit him with a big move, and he sits up like heโs in a movie. The characterโs fantastic and crazy and out there.โ
