As the WWE Universe eagerly anticipated last night’s SmackDown, speculation was rife about the potential surprises Triple H could unleash. With the King and Queen of the Ring quarterfinals and the contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul on the agenda, fans braced themselves for an electrifying evening. However, despite the anticipation, here are four shocking moves that Triple H could have pulled off, but ultimately didn’t.
1. The Bloodline’s Internal Conflict Erupts
One potential shocker could have been the escalation of tensions within The Bloodline, particularly with Solo Sikoa’s newfound aggression. Fans speculated that Paul Heyman might instigate a clash by referencing Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania loss, sparking a feud between the old and new guard. However, this anticipated confrontation failed to materialize, leaving fans wondering about the future dynamics of The Bloodline.
2. Brock Lesnar’s Surprise Return
With rumors swirling about Brock Lesnar’s potential comeback, many expected The Beast to make a thunderous return to SmackDown. Given Triple H’s confirmation of Lesnar’s continued affiliation with WWE, his unexpected appearance could have set the stage for a monumental showdown. However, the anticipated return did not occur, leaving fans eagerly awaiting Lesnar’s next move.
3. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Clash
Another shocking twist that Triple H could have orchestrated was a showdown between WWE Women’s Tag Team champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair in the Queen of the Ring tournament semi-finals. While one of them champions advanced in their respective matches, fans speculated that Triple H might book them against each other, igniting a fierce rivalry. However, this potential clash of titans remained a mere speculation, leaving fans intrigued about the champions’ future paths.
4. Carmelo Hayes’ Victory Over Randy Orton
As Carmelo Hayes continued to impress on the main roster, fans anticipated a potential upset victory over Randy Orton in the King of the Ring tournament. Speculation swirled that Triple H might engineer a controversial win for Hayes, solidifying his status as a rising star. However, despite the speculation, Orton emerged victorious, leaving fans wondering when Hayes will ascend to the forefront of WWE.
While Triple H had the power to shock and surprise the WWE Universe in numerous ways, last night’s SmackDown left fans eagerly anticipating the next episode, wondering what unexpected twists await them in the future.
