Triple H seemingly confirms major return of a former WWE Champion on "Day 1" edition of RAW

Triple H has made a major announcement on X/Twitter regarding the Day 1 edition of Monday Night RAW, i.e., the first episode of the year 2024. Although he said he can't confirm or deny a return, he may have essentially affirmed the return of a former WWE Champion.

There were rumors from Fightful that a superstar currently not under a WWE contract will be returning on the Day 1 special edition of Monday Night RAW. The superstar in question was described as a former WWE Champion.

Triple H, seemingly to address it directly, said that he can't confirm or deny the rumors of a former WWE Champion appearing at Day One - seemingly confirming it in the process.

"Not going to confirm or deny the rumors of a former @WWE Champion appearing at #WWERaw Day One… but I will say to stay tuned. New Year’s Day, 8pm ET on @USANetwork," Triple H said.

There is still no word as to who the former world champion could be or where he will be placed during the show.
