Now, with this unique partnership with Full Sail University, WWE will develop stars behind the camera as well,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Executive Vice President, Talent and Live Events for WWE. “With the opportunity to host events at Full Sail’s top-notch facilities and the chance to tap into Full Sail’s greatest resource, its students, we are excited to provide real-world experience while giving us a fresh, creative perspective from ambitious students.”
