Roman Reigns’ Creative Jab Seen as Power Move From The Rock’s Camp

TLDR

Roman Reigns made critical comments about WWE's creative direction during a Pat McAfee Show interview, stating that while the company has strong business leadership, "we have to be able to keep up with that creatively" and claiming he has "the formula" and knows "how to cook it up." Wrestling insiders Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo interpreted these remarks as a direct shot at Triple H and WWE's creative team, with Russo suggesting the comments were part of a broader power move from The Rock's camp and predicting that Triple H will not be in his current role by January 1st, 2027. The controversy continued at the post-Royal Rumble press conference, where live fan chants of "We want Vince" were reportedly directed at Triple H.
