Triple H to turn 3-time WWE champion babyface for the first time in his WWE career? Decoding subtle cues
Ever since Triple H took over WWE's creative, he has incorporated significant changes in storylines and delivered massive surprises at regular intervals. The Game could now be sowing the seeds for a major move that could change the landscape of Monday Night RAW. A three-time WWE champion could turn babyface for the first time in his WWE career.
The name in question is Gunther. The former NXT UK Champion, one-time Intercontinental Champion, and reigning World Heavyweight Champion is one of the top heels in the Stamford-based promotion. He is currently involved in a heated feud with Damian Priest on the red brand. However, WWE has been portraying The Ring General as helpless and vulnerable lately.
For the second consecutive week, he got beaten up by Priest on RAW, unable to defend himself. The once invincible Gunther no longer possesses the same aura and the WWE Universe has started to empathize with him. The fact that the Imperium leader is being shown as weak could be a subtle indication of Triple H planning a massive change in his character.
Moreover, The Ring General has been seen at loggerheads with Ludwig Kaiser lately on RAW. He is seemingly against Kaiser's shenanigans and has been demanding his stablemate to be more judicious and virtuous. Being a heel superstar, Gunther exuding such moral ethics could be the harbinger of his babyface turn which could be in the works.
Given the recent events on RAW, it looks like the Triple H-led creative may have already started to lay the foundation of the much-awaited babyface turn of the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
Triple H to break up Imperium due to Gunther's babyface turn?
Ever since Giovanni Vinci's exit, Imperium has been a two-man faction with only Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther. However, WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H could be planning to dissolve the stable in the coming months. Tensions have been brewing between the two stablemates for quite some time.
There have been several instances when The Ring General was found rebuking Kaiser on the red brand. As a result, the 34-year-old looked quite unhappy with the way he was being treated. There is a good possibility that Ludwig Kaiser could be bottling up his frustrations against Gunther.
It could soon turn into a revolt with Kaiser ultimately betraying his master. The Ring General suffering a heartbreaking betrayal at the hands of his stablemate could be the catalyst for his babyface turn. The implosion of Imperium will provide WWE with a perfect opportunity for this much-awaited move.
Given the recent developments on RAW, it seems Triple H and his creative team are heading in this direction which could eventually come to fruition in the coming months.
