WWE News: Major Update on Triple H's Return to TV and His Future Plans

Triple H hasn’t been seen since last month’s WWE TLC pay-per-view. However, as revealed on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, The Game will make his TV return on the Raw following the Royal Rumble.

News of Triple H’s TV return was somewhat shocking because some fans expected him to come back during the Royal Rumble match itself, while others thought he might be held off TV for a few more weeks. 

Regardless of what we thought, though, it looks like Triple H will be on the first official Raw on the road to WrestleMania, and we have the latest on why he’s coming back and plans for him after he returns. 

From the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via SEScoops.com):

The Game is expected to return to RAW on a regular basis until WrestleMania to add some extra star power to the shows. 

It was announced on RAW that Triple H is scheduled to for next week’s show, where he’ll decide if John Laurinaitis is fit to be the Interim RAW General Manager. He is also being advertised for the March 12th RAW Supershow from Cleveland, the same show that The Rock is scheduled for. 

The latest talk behind the scenes is that Triple H vs. The Undertaker is still planned for WrestleMania, their third encounter at the big event.

I have no problem with Triple H returning on Raw next week because he’s undoubtedly going to have a big role at WrestleMania. It’s smart to bring him back ASAP to start building to the show. 

Plus, the fact that his return is scheduled for Raw means he’s likely not going to participate in the Royal Rumble match, which means Triple H haters can rejoice because he won’t be the last man standing on Sunday. 

Even though I’m not a huge Triple H fan, I think he could potentially add some interesting twists to the ongoing storyline between John Laurinaitis and CM Punk upon his return. 

With Laurinaitis’ job in question, we could see yet another power struggle in the WWE. With rumblings of a WrestleMania 28 match between Punk and Triple H, we could see that feud kick off as well. 

While the WON reports that Triple H vs. The Undertaker is still in line for the WWE’s biggest pay-per-view of the year, rumors of Punk vs. Triple H: Part Two are also rampant. Furthermore, it's possible that Triple H will insert himself into Punk’s feud with Laurinaitis to add yet another intriguing aspect to that ongoing rivalry. 

We really can’t be sure what’s in store for us with this Punk/Laurinaitis/Ziggler/Triple H debacle, and that’s exactly why I’m actually optimistic about it, even if it is a rehashed feud.
