When Triple H returns...

**Evolution** · 06-04-2007, 01:44 PM

I had an idea a while back, but my internet connection has been down.

Trips tore his quad at New Years Revolution and HBK carried on the DX/Rated RKO angle solo. That played out and eventually, Shawn dropped the DX attire and music and went back to "Sexy Boy".

If I remember correctly, Shawn was putting off knee surgery until his feud with Kurt Angle in 2005 had played out, and put it off again while his feud with Vince carried out. Then DX started up and again he put off surgery.

Triple H must be near a return by now. The smart idea (or at least MY idea) would have been to get HBK off TV when Triple H was about ready to return (the bit with The Great Khali would have been perfect). Set up a match pitting Khali vs a "mystery opponent" and everyone would be expecting Shawn.

The match comes around and its Triple H who is facing Khali in a kind of "you put my best friend out of action" role. Triple H comes back with a ton of fresh heat with an opponent who fans can't wait to see get beaten. Meanwhile, Shawn has his knee surgery and rehab. Trips can maybe capture the title from Cena, but lose it a month down the line to someone else (maybe Orton) and hang around the upper-card slot.

Skip forward to January, the Royal Rumble. The ring has about 12 people inside, including Triple H. The buzzer sounds, and out comes HBK. He and Trips start cleaning house. They both eventually get eliminated by a tag-team who need a push (Cade and Murdoch, WGTT) and a mini-feud develops. "DX" could get to wherever they were going with Rated RKO, without dragging back Edge and Orton from wherever they are at the time.

Then they could just part ways instead of a double-cross which is just cliche and has already been done with these 2 guys.

That's how I'd work Triple H's return anyway.
