Thought we would see maybe a total change like Triple H at NXT – WWE veteran on SmackDown being the same Exclusive

Triple H made several changes to NXT in the past! Former personality Dutch Mantell was disappointed with this week's SmackDown as he hoped the show's structure would change after recent events. Recently, Vince McMahon stepped back as WWE Chairman & CEO following a Wall Street Journal report about . Stephanie McMahon, Vince's daughter, was named the Interim Chairwoman & CEO. Also, John Laurinaitis was reportedly from his position as WWE Head of Talent Relations. Bruce Prichard, WWE Senior Vice President & Executive Director of and RAW, reportedly replaced Laurinaitis as the Interim Head of Talent Relations. Vince McMahon is still seen as the creative head of both SmackDown and RAW. On the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Smack Talk, Mantell said he was hoping Prichard changed a few things on SmackDown with McMahon stepping back. Mantell feels that hasn't happened, and the structure of the show is the same: "I was thinking tonight that since they've had a change and Vince has kind of moved back that maybe Prichard has taken it over, the show didn't change. It's the same old structure it had before and they had a few segments that were interesting, but other than that it's the same stuff. I thought we'd see maybe a total change like Triple H did at NXT. He had a whole different set-up, but I saw none of that tonight, it was still a regular SmackDown show." (from 11:18 to 11:55)
