WWE News: Reason Why Triple H Did Not Show Up On Raw
Jan 21, 2017 at 11:15 AM
The speculations regarding Triple H’s much-anticipated return to Monday Night Raw was fuelled up prior to this week’s edition. The center of the attraction was a tweet posted by the WWE COO. He was present in England for the United Kingdom championship tournament. After the conclusion of the same, he tweeted that he is leaving the UK to attend the next night’s Raw.
Seth Rollins, who is waiting for his return for months now, noticed the tweet and replied back to it which kept the fans excited. However, the game did not show up as usual and Rollins had to team up with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn in the main event on the show that took place in Little Rocks, Arkansas.
…but for now.

This was a major disappointment for the fans who are waiting to see this feud finally taking place. This was originally planned for last year’s Wrestlemania but got shelved due to Rollins’ knee injury. Roman reigns took the Architect’s place and the main event turned out to be an utter failure.
A report from allwrestlingnews.com stated that there was no such planning of bringing the Game back on Raw this week. The creative just wanted to keep the audience interested in the storyline which is almost confirmed for culmination at the biggest stage of all, this year. So, the tweet was just a part of the planning and nothing else.
Almost five months have passed ever since the incident of Triple H turning on Rollins happened. The creative tried to keep the fans invested into the storyline with Rollins calling out him on various occasions. He even had several confrontations with Stephanie McMahon taking a shot at her for not bringing her husband into the scene.
We might get to see the Game back during the Royal Rumble match where he would show up to cost Rollins the spot. This will finally start the feud on television going forward.
