It was noted in the filing that Paul "Triple H" Levesque's new title in the company since February is Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy & Development. His title was previously Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, which he held since August of 2011.

It was stated that Levesque "oversees the Company's Talent Relations and TalentDevelopment departments. Additionally, Mr. Levesque plays an integral role in the Company's creative process, helping shape the creative direction and storylines
of WWE's programming. Mr. Levesque is revolutionizing the business with his global recruiting strategy and developmental training processes.
