Lee Cole, brother of former WWE ring boy the late Tom Cole, recently predicted massive changes in the Stamford-based company amid the recently filed "ring boys" lawsuit. He claimed Triple H and Bruce Prichard would be fired as another top executive would take full control of the promotion.
Five individuals recently filed a lawsuit against Vince and Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO for allegedly allowing "open, rampant" abuse of ring boys at the hands of former ring crew chief Melvin Phillips Jr. in the 1980s and 1990s. Speaking on his Wrestling with the Devil podcast, Lee, whose brother was at the center of the Ring Boys scandal nearly three decades ago, claimed Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Bruce Prichard, among others, will be deposed for the recently filed lawsuit.

As Lee predicted that TKO would have to let The Game and Prichard go, he stated that WWE president and TKO board member Nick Khan will take full control of the company:
"Mark my words. You'll see this man [Nick Khan] take over. Right now, he's kind of in charge already but he's gonna really be in charge. He'll bring in his whole regime and stuff and he'll be part of the changes. And they're not gonna deal with these guys like Prichard. They're not gonna deal with a Triple H anymore because they can't. They have to answer to their stockholders," he said. [11:00 - 11:24]

He pointed out that he believes these changes will happen as soon as the depositions start:
"Here's my prediction people. Triple H is out. Once the depostions start, he's out. Bruce Prichard is out. Once the depositions start, he's out. Nick Khan takes full power, full control of WWE and runs it for the TKO group." [18:24 - 18:38]
Lee Cole thinks Stephanie McMahon may have a brief return to WWE
On the same episode of Wrestling with the Devil, Lee Cole addressed Stephanie McMahon's potential return to WWE. He claimed The Billion Dollar Princess could have a brief comeback.
However, Tom Lee's brother predicted that TKO would also want to cut all ties with Vince McMahon's daughter. Hence, her potential return would be short-lived:
"Anybody that thinks Stephanie McMahon is gonna be coming back, she might come back but it's gonna be very temporary because these people are all gonna be deposed," he said.
While Triple H continues to run the creative process in the Stamford-based company, his wife, Stephanie, recently confirmed her return at WrestleMania 41. However, the former chairwoman has not officially been part of the promotion since her resignation in January 2023.
