Triple H highlights the women at the Performance Center.
Numerous stars started out at WWE's Performance Center, and WWE continues to train the next generation of superstars there. It has become even more important since the company introduced the NIL program, which has seen college athletes transition to WWE.
Speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Triple H was asked about the success of WWE's women's division. After he highlighted some of the company's top stars, Triple H went on to bring up the WWE Performance Center, and he said that women athletes picked up the sport faster than men.
"I will say this, we have a performance center in Orlando, Florida. We have a 100 to 120 athletes at any given time training in there on a day-to-day basis. I’m not sure exactly what the mix is, but a large percentage of women, large percentage of men. We have an NIL program that recruits across college athletics on every level. So women are a big focus of what we’re doing leading to the future and how we’re training and getting them up. Across the board, the women pick this up way faster than men do [laughs]. It’s an amazing thing. Shawn Michaels runs that program for us, and I will it to Shawn all the time, it is amazing to me that we’re getting these women that come in, start training with us at ground zero, just like the men, and six months in, eight months in, nine months in, he’s putting those women on TV already live, and the guys are down here, and I’m not sure why that is. It may be just [they’re] smarter, whatever that is. But it resonates that way, and it’s incredible to see that sort of, ‘Here you go. Just go at it.’ It’s incredible to watch it happen," Triple H said.
During the interview, Triple H also said that someone asked Linda McMahon about John Cena's heel turn at the State of the Union Address. Check out his comments here.
