Triple H has now publicly addressed the passing of longtime WWE director Kerwin Silfies.
Several hours after news broke on February 18 that Silfies had passed away at the age of 75, WWE’s Chief Content Officer took to social media to honor one of the most influential behind-the-scenes figures in company history. Triple H acknowledged Silfies’ decades-long impact on WWE television and pay-per-view production.
“Today, the @WWE family lost one of our beloved members. Kerwin Silfies was a huge part of the company’s programming since the mid-1980s. Over his 35+ year tenure with WWE production, he directed countless episodes of Raw and Smackdown, PLEs, and of course WrestleMania.”
Triple H continued by highlighting not just Silfies’ professional legacy, but the personal impact he had inside the company.
“With a dry wit and an unmatched passion for his work and his coworkers, Kerwin affected hundreds of employees and millions of fans. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this time.”
Along with the statement, Triple H shared several behind-the-scenes photos of Silfies at work — including images from production trucks and arena floors — offering fans a glimpse at the man who shaped how WWE has looked on television for nearly four decades.
Silfies began directing WWF programming in 1985 and remained a central figure in WWE’s production department for more than 35 years. From WrestleMania to Raw and SmackDown, his fingerprints were on countless historic broadcasts.
While he largely stayed out of the spotlight, this public tribute from Triple H reflects just how significant his role was within the company.
