‘We ain’t going nowhere’ – Triple H opens up on WWE’s sale to Endeavor after WrestleMania 39

After WrestleMania 39, Triple H opened the Raw and assured fans that, despite selling to Endeavor and eventually merging with UFC, the WWE that fans know and love isn’t going anywhere. Along with assuring fans that WWE is not going away, Triple H thanked all of the superstars, crew, and fans for their contributions to making WrestleMania 39 the biggest and best WrestleMania of all time.

Questions about WWE’s future arose on Monday, including whether they would return to a PPV model for monthly premium live events rather than the Peacock/WWE Network method, whether talent could be released, and whether Vince McMahon would be a full-fledged member of creative again.

Then Raw aired, and Triple H wasted no time in bringing up the merger, attempting to reassure worried fans about WWE’s future. “The day after WrestleMania when we are watercooler talk, when we are all anybody wants to talk about, well then WWE comes along today and makes an announcement that is all anybody wants to talk about,” he said.

“But I am here to assure you that we ain’t going nowhere. The same WWE that you love, the same WWE that put 161,000 people to the rafters in SoFi Stadium is going nowhere. The same WWE that you love, the superstars, the action, the drama, all of it, we are going nowhere. We will be here week in and week out, event after event, sold-out arena after sold-out arena, packed stadium after packed stadium, because we are the WWE. And just like it says at the beginning, ‘Then. Now. Forever. Together’,” he added.

Despite those assurances – and the positive reaction of the fans in the arena – it remains to be seen what exactly remains the same and what changes in the coming weeks and months. Only time will tell.
