WWE News: Triple H Talks About WWE’s Plans For Global Localization, Poll on Greatest Royal Rumble Matches
– Triple H spoke at the 2018 Partner Summit during WrestleMania week about what “global localization” means for WWE. The company filed a trademark for the term on April 7th.
Per John Pollock, Triple H came up with the name and said it was part of the company’s plans to “create NXT brands around the world as a global territorial system” similar to what Shane McMahon wanted to do in the mid-2000s. WWE didn’t go through with the plans at the time. You can check out a photo Pollock tweeted of the presentation by Triple H below.
