Triple H to punish former WWE World Heavyweight Champion following his actions on RAW? Possible aftermath explored
Triple H is currently playing a significant role in the feud between Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes in WWE. The Chief Content Officer even engaged in a heated confrontation with The Prizefighter during the off-air moments of Saturday Night's Main Event. However, following the RAW after SNME, it seems likely that The Game might punish former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest for his actions on the red brand.
During this week’s episode of RAW, The Archer of Infamy played a pivotal role in the show’s conclusion. He appeared in the final moments of The Judgment Day vs. War Raiders World Tag Team Championship match and prevented Finn Balor from gaining an illegal advantage. This distraction allowed Erick and Ivar to gain the upper hand, ultimately dethroning Balor and JD McDonagh as tag team champions.
Given how Priest's interference affected the main event, it’s possible that The King of Kings could punish the 42-year-old star for his actions. This punishment could come in the form of a fine imposed by Adam Pearce on Triple H’s orders, reinforcing authority on RAW and discouraging future interference in high-profile matches.
However, it’s important to note that Finn Balor himself previously cost Priest several matches. One notable instance occurred at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, where Balor attacked Priest, allowing Gunther to retain his title. Since Balor was never punished for his actions during the premium live event, there’s a possibility that no action will be taken against Priest either.
Given these circumstances, while it’s realistic that Damian Priest could face repercussions from Triple H, the likelihood remains somewhat slim.
What's next for Triple H as part of Kevin Owens saga in WWE?
The Kevin Owens saga continues to captivate WWE fans, especially after the intense off-air confrontation between Triple H and Owens at SNME. This raises the question: What's ’s next for The Game in this unfolding storyline?
One possible direction for the WWE Chief Content Officer could be an appearance on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown to address the escalating situation. Triple H might emphasize how Kevin Owens’ actions are spiraling out of control. After injuring Randy Orton with a devastating Piledriver, Owens used the same move to take out Cody Rhodes at SNME.
Additionally, the future of The American Nightmare could be addressed by The King of Kings, including whether he will vacate his Undisputed WWE Title following the injury announcement.
It remains to be seen what will happen in the forthcoming edition of the blue brand and whether The Game will appear on the show.
