WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Hall of Famer set to return for major feud, Triple H planning to leave? Alexa Bliss makes a unique request to released superstar (2nd December 2021)

#2 Triple H planning to leave WWE?

There has been a lot of speculation suggesting Triple H may cash out and leave the WWE to start his own venture. PWTorch (via CSS) has stated that these rumors are not completely true. Even if Triple H does decide to leave, he will not be competing against WWE as it would affect the family dynamics.

“Hunter cannot cash out and just leave without it affecting the family dynamic in a way that was just more negative than something Triple H would do... Hunter is either gonna work in WWE or not but not work against them in the pro wrestling business.” said PWTotch's source

Triple H is currently recovering from a major cardiac event and is unlikely to resume his duties in WWE anytime soon. Dave Meltzer has also stated that Hunter's days as an in-ring superstar may be over.

#1 Is Austin Theory Vince McMahon successor in WWE?

Former WWE superstar Bully Ray feels that McMahon's ongoing storyline with Austin Theory could be a way for The Chairman to groom the young superstar into his heir. Here is what Bully Ray thinks is going on in the head of Vince McMahon:

My son is a failure! My son-in-law is a failure! But you won’t be, Austin, I’m gonna make you in my image.’ Imagine he’s building Austin up to be the heir to the throne that he does not believe he has anymore…” Ray said.

Vince McMahon has apparently taken a personal interest in Austin Theory and has also been sharing on-screen segments with the former NXT superstar on RAW.
