For decades, WWE has been branding itself as the sports entertainment. However, in a recent interview, the WWE creative head and the fourteen-time WWE World Champion gave a different overview of the product, especially under his direction. Hunter calls WWE a movie or TV show about a sport, but it is not a sport.

On The Pat McAfee Show as a guest, Triple H noted, "I think our fanbase is just so ravenous for it. There’s nothing else that episodically airs. If you want to look at us, I say this a lot, we are not a sport. We are a movie about a sport or a TV show about a sport. So the interest of all the other things happening is just as great as what happens in the ring. "
