Triple H On Nick Khan: I’ve Never Been Around A Better Businessman

Triple H has high praise for Nick Khan.

When the TKO Group was formed in September 2023 following Endeavor’s purchase of WWE, Nick Khan was appointed as the President of the sports entertainment company for the second time. The 52-year-old is key in overseeing the promotion’s financial strategy, from negotiating media rights to their live event plans. Now, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has offered major praise for Nick Khan.

Speaking with Stephen A. Smith, Paul Levesque said he’s never been around a better businessman than Nick Khan.

“I’ve never been around a better businessman. What is incredible is not only his mind for the business, rights fees, ratings, analyzing all those things, but he grew up a fan of this. He grew up a fan of boxing and combat sports, but especially of pro wrestling. He’s as deep a knowledge as anybody I’ve met out there. And he’s just straightforward. What you see is what you get, and man, I love working with him every day. To me, he and I together, it’s like this perfect partnership of being able to do the business side, but this energy that we both feel and have and love for this business like nothing else.”

Back in May, it was reported by PWInsider that Nick Khan had come to terms on a new contract keeping him as WWE’s President through 2030. Khan is set to earn a base salary of $2 million until the end of 2026, rising to $3 million a year for the rest of his deal.

While not an on-screen character, Khan sits on the TKO Group Board of Directors, often working with Chief Creative Officer Paul Levesque on the direction of the company. When it comes to WWE’s stars of the future, Khan spoke back in April about not wanting to rush the development of the next generation, naming Bron Breakker as someone they had to let develop at his own pace.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on both Nick Khan and Paul Levesque as soon as we hear more.
