#2 Plans changed for Triple H on SmackDown

Last week SmackDown aired a historic episode which emanated from the Performance Center with no audience in attendance. The show certainly had a different vibe to it but WWE managed to make it interesting despite the absence of fans.

One of the most interesting and unique aspects of the show was having Triple H join commentary along with Michael Cole. As per a report from Fightful, these were not the original plans for The Game and were changed last-minute because of the positive reaction from the crowd.

We're told originally there wasn't supposed to be so much Triple H involvement on-screen on Friday's episode of Smackdown. Originally there were to be more guests featured, but Triple H's chemistry and social media reaction led to an on-the-fly call to have him stick around throughout the entire show.

Triple H ragged Michael Cole throughout the show in a hilarious manner and made a lot of 'shoot' jokes - even joking about his rumored 'demotion' in WWE.
