Mind you these people pick and choose when to make it seem like HHH is the real boss of the WWE. If something is great it was all papa H, but if it's bad then it was all TKO's fault and HHH was helpless. HHH is literally running back all the stuff that worked under the Vince era because his stuff is lame and only the IWC cares. Now he's about to do the Montez singles push that Vince planned on doing in 2022, and people will say he's a genius for doing it.
Obviously TKO has a final say in with whatever they like, and they do control the budgets so they’re the reason why theme songs are trash and what not, but from what I understand triple H is allowed to roam free with his decisions.
For example, TKO says it’s time to release talent and I bet HHH picks who gets gone.
And I’m sure TKO wants certain wrestlers on television and maybe as top guys, but HHH is the one creating the stories.
So he’s hands-on with everything, like every decision goes through him as a final consultant. So he deserves the blame
If there was no backlash to Lesnar return I doubt he would have brought up cena wanted him back
