DALLAS In addition to crowning a new Intercontinental Champion and lining up John Cenas next challenger for the WWE Championship, Raws highlights also included clips from Triple Hs arduous road to recovery from a torn right quadriceps. Although The Game wasnt there in person, just seeing the 10-time World Champion back on the TitanTron screen had many of our fans at the American Airlines Center buzzing.
When The Game returns, hes putting WWE on notice, predicted Jack Sanhall of Irving, Texas. Look at what he accomplished after coming back from injury in 2002he not only won the WWE Title a fifth time, he became a five-time World Heavyweight Champion as well. Theres no way anyone will stop Triple H from becoming an 11-time World Champion.
Those Triple H promos have made my week, stated Red Oak resident Ann-Marie Nuhaltz. Now I only need Shawn Michaels to come back too. Id love to see those two in the ring again.
No one knows the condition of HBK, who at Judgment Day last May suffered a potential career-ending concussion at the handsand bootof Randy Orton. Dallas local Victor Flores thinks that alone should provide extra incentive for the returning Game, who last January tore his right quad while he and Michaels battled Orton and Edge at New Years Revolution.
Personally, I think he should stop off at SmackDown first, Flores said. That way, he can kick the crap out of Edge, then go back to Raw and get some revenge against Orton. That ought to be his first priority; let em all know that you cant get away with hurting the Cerebral Assassin or his friends.
Back in March, Triple H informed WWE.com that his rehabilitation had been progressing so well that he hoped a SummerSlam return was feasible. Judging from the video shown on Raw Monday night, the Biggest Party of the Summer might become the homecoming site for one of WWEs greatest Superstars.
I think Triple H will go after The Champ [Cena], said Waxahachie-based WWE fan Rod Williams, but I also want to see him go after some of Raws new guys, like Snitsky or Kennedy. Definitely Kennedy; somebody needs to shut that guy up, big-time.
Good point. So good, in fact, that WWE.com asks Williams how he thinks The Game might fare against Bobby Lashley. Wow, that would be good, the teen replied enthusiastically. Lashleys one of my favorites, and I hope hes right about what he said tonightthat he wont be an uncrowned champion much longer. If Lashley can beat Cena at The Great American Bash, putting him in the ring against Triple H would make a great WWE Title Match
maybe one of the best.
For now, inside sources either cant or wont confirm exactly when Triple H will make his return. However, as the sold-out American Airlines Center crowd demonstrated on Raw Monday night, one thing is certain: Once it is time again to play The Game, our fans are going to enjoy every moment of it.
