While speaking, Triple H was asked about WWE re-hiring Samoa Joe, then, Triple H revealed that he had discussions with Samoa Joe about transitioning into a different role and learning about the business side of the pro wrestling industry before pandemic.
“It was something that we were already talking about anyways. And what people tend to focus on, because it’s the visual, is the in front of the camera, the character side of it. But what Joe and I have been talking about for a long period of time, before COVID, probably from the time he started in WWE in general [is] that’s he’s a very smart guy that’s very business-oriented, has a level head, and all those things. And [we discussed,] ‘What is the future like and how can he help build the future,’ and he was enamored with the other side of the business and what we do,” said Triple H.

NXT Boss Triple H also stated that he’s keen on developing the next generations of superstars for backstage roles.
“There was an opportunity for him to leave one realm and come into the other, but in coming into the other it sort of connected the dots for him to still do something in-ring from a preference standpoint — no different than I do, [or] other performers who have other jobs as well. It’s a piece of it, but the bigger component is the talent-development component that he’ll be a big part of. I’m really, really excited about that because again, at this stage of my career, it’s all about developing the next generations of superstars,” said Triple about Samoa Joe.
