Killer Kross on Triple H’s current WWE booking: ‘He can’t call all of the shots’

Posted: Jun 11th 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti

Triple H does not have all the booking control in WWE despite being the Chief Content Officer, says former WWE Superstar Killer Kross.

Killer Kross, aka Karrion Kross, recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he opened up on Triple H and his current booking style in WWE.

Kross and his wife, Scarlett Bordeaux, were let go by WWE in 2021. However, the couple was re-hired by Triple H in 2022, after he took control of WWE’s creative. Speaking with Helwani, Kross shared his belief that Triple H no longer holds complete control in WWE.

“If I had to guess, I would say that there are people who call things in and he has to make the best of what they want to play out on television and the PLEs. That’s just my guess. I base that on pattern recognition. That’s a thing that has become very prevalent, especially with Gen Z – when it comes to entertainment, if you’re creating something episodic with continuity, when continuity fails, there’s a red light that goes off, people go, ‘What happened here?’ Especially with wrestling,” he said.

Kross further opened up about the concept of Triple H’s own style of booking based on what the audience wanted. However, the former NXT Champion claimed that with “new players” involved, he doesn’t believe Triple H calls “all the shots” anymore.

“Now that there’s new players involved, when there’s a failure of continuity and people don’t like it, it removes people from the suspension of disbelief, that entertainment. I don’t think that’s him. He has his own patterns that I think were aligned with what the audience wanted to see, and that’s speaking as a person who used to work for him,” Kross added. “And I knew when he could call all of his shots, and I had an idea of when he couldn’t. To me, this looks like a situation where he can’t call all of the shots. And I don’t mean that disrespectfully at all.”

Kross remained a part of WWE from 2022 until 2025, when his and his wife’s contracts expired, and they chose not to re-sign a new agreement.
