Just like Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, too, has had great influence in WWE. He started his WWE career in 1995 and since then, has only benefited the company.

In 2019, Tony Khan started a new company, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), to change the current landscape of the wrestling industry. And, he chose The Elite (Matt and Nick Jackson and Kenny Omega) and Cody Rhodes as AEW’s Executive Vice President. Cody, who once worked for WWE, wanted to have a match against his brother Dustin Rhodes (also known as Goldust in WWE).

But because Goldust was under contract with WWE, he had no choice but to ask for his release from Vince McMahon. Initially, Vince didn’t grant his release but due to Triple H, the former gave in and agreed to let his long-tenured wrestler work for a rival promotion.
