The power dynamics in WWE are shifting, and a brewing power struggle between Triple H and The Rock is becoming evident. While The Rock holds a position on the TKO Board of Directors, Triple H made it clear on SmackDown that he’s the one who ultimately calls the shots.
Speculation among fans revolves around a potential in-ring showdown between Triple H and The Rock, but Triple H’s health condition, with a heart defibrillator, rules out his return to active competition. Instead, the idea of a proxy has emerged, and one likely candidate is Sheamus.
Sheamus, a close friend of Triple H, has been absent from WWE action since August 18. With his tag team The Brawling Brutes disbanded and other members taking different paths, Sheamus could be poised for a return to the ring.

The Irish Star’s loyalty and trustworthiness make him a favorable option for Triple H in this scenario.
While Triple H has other choices, such as Bron Breakker, seen interacting with him on SmackDown, Sheamus’ history and camaraderie with Triple H make him a prime candidate to represent The Game against The Rock.
With The Rock set to return on the upcoming SmackDown episode, tensions may escalate, potentially leading to a face-off between Triple H and The Rock.
The question remains whether Triple H will stand alone or strategically choose a trusted ally, like Sheamus, to ensure The Bloodline’s ambitions are thwarted on SmackDown.
