Paul “Triple H” Levesque liked what he saw when UFC ran The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the special annual UFC Noche show at UFC 306, the WWE’s partner under TKO Group, UFC, ran The Sphere venue in Las Vegas, NV., spending over 20 million dollars in production and putting on one of the most critically-acclaimed shows in years.

The WWE Chief Content Officer liked what he saw.

During the WWE Bad Blood 2024 post-show press conference over the weekend, Levesque shared his thoughts.

“I look at our partners at TKO and I see what Dana [White] is doing,” Levesque said. “They’re just crushing it.”

Levesque added, “I see stuff at The Sphere and I look at that production and I’m like, ‘I want to do that.’ It’s a lot of fun. It’s amazing to watch them do what they do and the level they do it. Nothing like them in the world.”

Later at the UFC 307 post-show press conference the same evening, White was asked about Levesque’s comments and made it clear that with WWE and UFC both under the TKO Group umbrella, “We can help them with that.”​

I don't know why everyone wants Jim back so bad lol he's like 80, even if he wanted to do it, it would be a temporary move. I'm sure their goal is to hire someone young and cheap to do them in-house like Jim used to, we just need to hope they don't suck

I don't think it was anything big, they just unceremoniously released him like he was nothing after 30 something years and replaced him, some fans think he retired but that wasn't the case.

They did the same with the old timekeeper, fired after decades, famous for never missing a beer throw to Stone Cold. Wanna say that was even around the same time as Jim

So a mendable relationship at least then, especially since I remember seeing (I think) he wants to go into the HOF or believes he should be in it, one or the other.
