Stephanie McMahon Comments on Triple H’s Influence in NXT and WWE’s Women’s Revolution

Recent episode of the #MaxOut with Ed Mylett show had Stephanie McMahon as the guest and one of the topics discussed involved Triple H’s influence on both NXT and WWE’s Women’s Revolution.

“It was a lot of what [Triple H] started to do at NXT, which NXT – for those of you who don’t know – started off as our develpmental show, and is now really evolved into a third global touring brand in and of itself and is one of the most watched programs on the WWE Network. But my husband started to recruit elite athletes, men and women, and he started training the women same as the men and giving them the same opportunities, because – like anything else – repetitions is how you are gonna get better.

So at our live events that we do, our local live events, which is where, non-televised, our talent often learn the skills. That’s where they hone the craft, the live audience gives a reaction, and that’s how you learn what’s working, what’s not working, and worse, what they don’t care about… so he started giving them those opportunities, and them our audience responded in kind. Because these women were so awesome, and they started chanting, ‘this is wrestling’ and ‘women’s wrestling’.”
