The future of WWE is in great hands, according to a former champion.

Although Vince McMahon has returned to the Board of Directors, Triple H remains in control of creative as Chief Content Officer. The future is uncertain with a potential sale of the company on the horizon; however, former WWE Champion and Hollywood star Dave Bautista believes that Triple H is the right man to steer the ship.

While speaking to ComicBook, Dave Bautista was asked about how he believes Triple H is doing in his role as Chief Content Officer. Bautista is happy with the move and was very complimentary of his friend.

"I think this is the best thing for the company. It really is. It's a persona thing with me because I know Triple H. I now how well he knows this business. I know how much he loves this business. As far as the business goes, he's the smartest guy I've ever met in my life. He made me who I was. He was responsible for my career. I've never been ashamed to say that."

Bautista also gave a glowing review and praised Triple H's passion for the wrestling business as a whole.

"I think that he is so dedicated to this product and just wants the best for it. I think he's absolutely the right person. I've never met anyone else who thinks the way he does, as far as wrestling goes." h/t WrestlingNews.co

Bautista has not been a part of the WWE team since losing at WrestleMania 35 to Triple H in a No Holds Barred match.
