WWE Raw: Updates on returns, call-ups and more ahead of Season Premiere

If
reports
are
to
be
believed
then
WWE
Hall
of
Famer
Triple
H
is
back
on
WWE
TV
as
a
full-time
authority
figure.
With
The
Game
being
promoted
as
the
Chief
Content
Officer,
he
runs
majority
of
the
WWE
programme.
And
being
a
top
draw,
he
is
now
expected
to
return
as
an
on-screen
talent.

According
to
Fightful
Select,
a
placard
has
been
made
for
Triple
H’s
on-screen
office
for
WWE
TV
(similar
to
Vince
McMahon’s
office)
that
we’ve
seen
at
Extreme
Rules.
He
made
his
first
appearance
on
WWE
TV
since
WrestleMania
38
on
Friday’s
episode
of
Smackdown
to
welcome
the
fans
during
the
show’s
season
premiere.

This
was
the
legendary
superstar’s
first
appearance
on
WWE
TV
since
becoming
the
Head
of
Creative
and
also
since
WrestleMania
38
Night
Two
where
he
announced
his
retirement
from
the
in-ring
competition
by
leaving
his
wrestling
boots
inside
the
ring.

Then
more
seeds
for
Triple
H
becoming
a
regular
on-screen
character
were
planted
on
the
Extreme
Rules
2022
premium
live
event
when
Maryse
asked
The
Miz
on
the
phone
if
he
had
taken
the
veteran’s
permission
for
his
birthday
celebration
on
Monday’s
Raw.

Speaking
of
Raw,
Triple
H
will
also
appear
on
tonight’s
season
premiere
episode
to
celebrate
D-Generation
X’s
25th
anniversary
alongside
fellow
Hall
of
Famers
Shawn
Michaels,
X-Pac,
and
Road
Dogg.

Going
back
to
Extreme
Rules
2022,
the
event
saw
some
of
the
biggest
stars
of
the
WWE
performing
in
the
ring
while
a
number
of
NXT
talents
were
also
present,
behind
the
scenes,
possibly
for
their
main
roster
debuts,
down
the
road.

Bodyslam.net
reports
that
Nikkita
Lyons
was
backstage
at
the
PLE.
She
was
originally
planned
to
make
her
debut
during
the
recent
Women’s
Tag
Team
Championship
tournament,
teaming
with
Zoey
Stark,
but
those
plans
were
canceled
due
to
medical
reasons.

NXT
Champion
Bron
Breakker
was
also
backstage
at
the
Wells
Fargo
Center
in
Philadelphia
for
Extreme
Rules.
While
nothing
has
been
confirmed
regarding
his
presence,
NXT
talents
often
attend
backstage
to
signal
for
an
imminent
call-up.

Extreme
Rules
proved
to
be
a
massive
success
on
social
media
due
to
Bray
Wyatt’s
long-awaited
return.
Now,
Bryan
Alvarez
of
Wrestling
Observer
reports
that
Wyatt’s
real-life
brother,
former
NXT
Champion
Bo
Dallas,
is
also
set
to
return
to
the
promotion.

Dallas
has
not
wrestled
a
match
in
about
3
years.
He
was
dealing
with
a
neck
injury
before
getting
released
from
the
WWE
in
April
2021
due
to
COVID-19-related
budget
cuts.
Wyatt
and
Dallas
are
the
sons
of
old-school
WWF
veteran
Mike
Rotunda.
