Triple H Addresses Controversial Topic Amid WrestleMania 41 Season

Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed WWE’s approach to featuring women in main event slots during his appearance at the Sloan Analytics Conference. The WWE Chief Content Officer shared the stage with Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bejaria.

Levesque explained that WWE’s decision-making for main event positions is based entirely on performance and audience engagement rather than gender considerations.

I don’t give women the main event because they’re women and it would look good. If they’re in the main event, it’s because they earned it. If they’re not, it’s because something else is resonating more.

WWE has placed greater emphasis on its women’s division in recent years, with performers like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley securing top positions on major shows. These talents have headlined premium live events including WrestleMania and Royal Rumble.

Levesque’s statement prompted varied reactions from fans, with some supporting his merit-based approach while others questioning whether women still face additional challenges in securing equal opportunities despite their talents.
