The WWE Universe is buzzing following WWE COO Triple H’s statement on Thursday SmackDown LIVE, in which he said he would make a major announcement this Monday on Raw at 8/7c concerning Sunday’s Royal Rumble Match controversy.
Poll: Would Reigns have won without The Rock? | Exclusive WWE.com interview with Triple H
The incident The Game was referring to was, of course, the emergence of and subsequent interference by The Rock.
But what sort of announcement would “shake WWE to its core?” Is The Authority prepared to strip Reigns of his WrestleMania World Title Match against Brock Lesnar? Triple H did confirm to Reigns that he had won the match. Therefore, is it conceivable to remove him from the reward that has been promised him?
There are certainly other things that could be done. For instance, perhaps The King of Kings may decide to add another Superstar, or two, or three, to the World Title Match at the Showcase of the Immortals. If so, one has to wonder which competitor(s) is the most deserving: Kane? Big Show? The Authority’s golden boy, Seth Rollins? Even Curtis Axel is making claims that he was never officially eliminated from the contest, since Erick Rowan attacked him before he reached the ring.
And what of punishment for The Rock himself? While The Great One is by no means a weekly staple in WWE, would Triple H dare close the door on the People’s Champion, banning him from future WWE appearances? Might he even ban him from a future WWE Hall of Fame induction?
Could Triple H go so far as to make Reigns defend his No. 1 contender position, teaming with The Rock against Big Show & Kane at WWE Fast Lane?
The possibilities are endless. But, whatever it is, it will certainly give “Stone Cold” Steve Austin a lot to talk about, when he welcomes WWE’s COO onto his podcast, Monday after Raw on WWE Network.
Tune in to Monday Night Raw, live on USA Network at 8/7c, to hear Triple H’s monumental message!
