Tel me I didn’t see that!

#1 Triple H- The ideal double turn?

While there are rumours and hints about other appearances on this list, the appearance of Triple H will be totally unexpected to happen. WWE has gone to great lengths to keep Triple H out of the picture during the siblings’ reign of both shows and the eventual brand split. In fact, Triple H has not shown his face on the main roster after his match at WrestleMania.

While the wheels have been spinning smoothly during Triple H’s absence, his sudden appearance may just be the shot in the arm Raw needs to gain a definitive edge on SmackDown. While his star power is unquestionable, the reason for his reappearance can be questioned. In my opinion, on several fronts, this is the right time for Triple H to make a return.

Firstly, if Triple H had returned earlier, he would have a rematch clause against the WWE Championship which would have complicated matters before the draft. Now, with the WWE championship on SmackDown, that shot at the title becomes void making it more believable for Triple H to return to the role of an authoritative figure.

Secondly, the face turn of Seth Rollins is long rumoured to happen. And what better way to turn Seth face than making Triple H betray him. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor are both wrestlers who are in good terms with Triple H backstage. His sudden appearance during the match would through things into chaos as people wouldn’t know whom he is going to support.

History points that Seth would be the one to receive assistance. But if Triple H turns on Seth, the betrayal may well enable Seth to turn face without much effort. It will also make Finn Balor heel in the process making him suitable to form the long awaited Balor Club and become the new goon squad of Triple H. This could also very well set the tone for a match between Triple H and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.

With so much to gain, it is more likely that WWE will do this swerve. And if in case it happens, remember that you read it here first!
