3 Pay-Per-Views Which Could Suffer from Triple H’s Injury

Triple H has always been regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the WWE. Even in this day and age, as new wrestlers constantly come into the company, The Game has proven to be as good as anyone else even when he only wrestles part-time.

Triple H has been used by the WWE on and off during high profile matches and events. He was recently made a part of The Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, WWE Super Show-Down in Australia, and once again at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

Being one of the top draws in the WWE, Triple H has been able to work extremely well with whatever feud the creatives have trusted him with. His power of authority has also worked in his favor when It comes to building on previous and new rivalries.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the WWE would want him to work at their big-four events for some time to come. However, Triple H picked up an injury at Crown Jewel which could have hampered their plans.

A torn pectoral is what Triple H is tending to at the moment, and the injury can take up to five or even six months to heal properly. Judging by the extent of the injury, it was extremely impressive to watch him finish the match at Crown Jewel against the Brothers of Destruction in the fashion he did.

His injury could, however, affect the WWE’s future plans as they are constantly banking on him to be part of big ticket feuds. Let’s take a look at the three pay-per-views which could suffer the most due to the legend’s injury.

#3 Survivor Series 2018

Survivor Series is next in the line of pay-per-views for WWE in the month of November. Survivor Series is famous for its 5-on-5 elimination tag team match between Raw and SmackDown, and even last year we saw one great match which headlined the event.

Last year, Triple H made himself a part of Team Raw with Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe. In a match dominated by Team Raw, Triple H scored the final pin on Shane McMahon awarding the victory to Team Raw.

Braun Strowman scored the most eliminations, while him and Triple H were the final two left standing for the red brand.

This year similarly, amid the power struggle in Raw between Baron Corbin and Kurt Angle, we could have seen Triple H become a part of the match as he is still one of the best wrestlers on the red brand.

Sadly, that won’t be the case anymore with his injury and Survivor Series will see either Baron Corbin or Kurt Angle lead Team Raw.

#2 Royal Rumble 2019

The Game has always enjoyed being a part of the Royal Rumble. He won the 30-man affair in 2002, and then surprisingly again in 2016.

With him missing the event in 2017 and 2018, it was possible that he would make a surprise entry once again in the 2019 edition of the event. He has always tried to play the best heel by taking advantage of his status in the WWE and could have used it again to build upon a brewing rivalry.

With Triple H wrestling better than most men even at this point in his career, he has always been a treat to watch, especially when he’s playing a heel against other babyface wrestlers.

However, this won’t be the case at the moment as his injury will keep him far away from wrestling at the Royal Rumble which is only two and a half months away.

#1 WrestleMania 35

SmackDown 1000 was a very good event which saw many stars who had played a vital role in the development of SmackDown over the years return to the blue brand to make a statement. These stars included Edge, Rey Mysterio, Shane McMahon, the McMahon family, and The Undertaker among others.

One of the most iconic returns was that of Evolution. The team of Batista, Ric Flair, Triple H, and Randy Orton didn’t do much except walk out to the ring and talk about their time performing, entertaining, dominating, and being the best.

The important thing that came out from the segment was Batista’s claim that Triple H had never beaten him one-on-one. This wasn’t just a simple statement, as it was surely seen as a seed planted to grow into one of the fiercest rivalries to come.

It was expected that the end of the rivalry would come at a main-event match at WrestleMania 35, the plans for the match will have to be shelved if Triple H’s injury is as severe as it looks at the moment.

This can prove to be the biggest jolt that the WWE will face after Roman Reigns’ exit, as the rivalry could have worked out extremely well and resulted in an epic battle.
