10 Wild Predictions For What Triple H's WWE Will Look Like In 5 Years
It's not ALL about 'The Game', but it might be all about Karrion Kross if Triple H has his way.
The honeymoon period for Triple H as WWE head of creative is over.
The streak of less-than-stellar Monday Night Raws is at three as of this writing, with October's genuinely impressive and electrifying Season Premiere seeming further in the distant past than it actually is. Surprise returns have become tropes, even if several of the comebacks have felt like more personal projects by 'The Game' to undo some of the "budget cuts" made by Nick Khan and Vince McMahon between 2020 and 2022. Alongside wife Stephanie McMahon, "Papa H" leaned in to WWE's ugly relationship with the Saudi Arabian Sports Authority harder than anybody since Vince McMahon himself when he was arguing the toss over payments while a plane sat on tarmac.
That's not to say there aren't some tremendous things going on elsewhere - The Bloodline and The Judgment Day are both on fire as acts at the moment, and both groups are examples of Paul Levesque taking pre-existing ideas and improving upon them. WarGames being added to Survivor Series was an instant buzz-generator and the it's hoped that the ramifications will carry the company through a long winter up until 2023 kicks off with a Raw 30th Anniversary show and the Royal Rumble.
An awful lot of people - or a lot of awful people, depending on your persuasion - were being extremely celebratory of everything WWE was pumping out before Vince McMahon resigned in disgrace, but they are higher still on Triple H's version of events within the company.
Can it last?
10. Liv Morgan's Dark Side Propels Her All The Way Back To The Top
Following the collapse of her SmackDown Women's Championship run, Liv Morgan embarked on a new chapter of her career that could (very) generously compare her to Mick Foley - a spirited star with a deep connection to her audience that will endure untold pain because of a capacity to cope with it.
This is where the comparison ends right now. By the time WWE were marketing the Cactus Jack craziness lurking within their Mankind creation, he'd become one of the most polished brawlers in the industry.
Morgan's a fair way off that right now, but five years will be long enough to get her there. It was just under four between Becky Lynch debuting on the main roster and main eventing WrestleMania, and audiences gravitated unshakeably towards 'The Man' in ways they have done for Morgan. If the work catches up with the creative and the unending groundswell of support, she'll eventually get that headline spot too.
