5 Things to expect from the Triple H - Seth Rollins Feud
We have no idea how the recent events of SummerSlam will affect the marriage of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. We do know, however, that the battle lines have been drawn.
WWE has been teasing this kind of a confrontation long before Rollins hurt his knee back in November of last year. The idea of a match between mentor and pupil has been a solid foundation of bitterness for decades, dating back to when Bruno Sammartino was “blindsided” by Larry Zbyszko in the 1970s. This is the unkindest cut of all because in the end, the McMahon Family foundation will be at the apex of this battle, which could have so many implications on the future of Raw and the company, overall.
While we haven’t heard the reasons for why Triple H walked into the Fatal Four Way match for the WWE Universal Heavyweight Title and gave his protégé Rollins the pedigree, it can be assumed from the looks of things, he wasn’t happy with the direction his wife and general manager Mick Foley were running WWE’s top program. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Kevin Owens had no idea he was going to win on Monday night, which made the attack that much better to watch.
Since WWE is embarking on a brave new world of programming, let’s go ahead and usher in a new feud involving the McMahon’s that may have nothing to do with Vince McMahon but may have shattered the iron-proof relationship between the heiress of the company and her multi-time champion husband. If that won’t stir the wrestling pot, nothing will.
In the meantime, here are five things we can expect from the Triple H – Seth Rollins feud.
