5 Triple H dream matches in AEW we'll never see

Triple H is a pillar of WWE and one of the biggest names of both the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. He is a multiple-time champion with a career spanning nearly 27 years.

Triple H is known for his "reign of terror" from 2002 - 2004 as well as with the stable D-Generation X. The reign of terror was especially iconic as Levesque had some of the longest and most dominant championship runs in WWE. Triple H is also known for his comical angles with DX as well, so the wrestler is very flexible.

Triple H has toned down to sporadic appearances since 2020 as he settled into his corporate role. Because of this, as well as his age, it's practically impossible to see the giant make an AEW appearance. But there are quite a number of wrestlers who could still make for an exciting feud with Triple H.

AEW has one of the best rosters today, if not the best. Triple H could go up against nearly anyone, but this list will dive into a few of the best matches for Triple H.

5. Triple H could have a feud with MJF

Seeing Triple H face the younger talent might not be what fans would like to see, but if there's any young star that Triple H needs to wrestle with, it would be MJF. Friedman has a bright future ahead of him, but a run against or even with Triple H could do him a lot of good.

The star's rise could definitely mirror Randy Orton and who better to help him with that than Triple H? They could initially team up where MJF gravitates to the Cerebral Assassin and ends up trying to betray him. Much like with Jericho, but being blindsided by Triple H. MJF could go down like Orton did and then rise up from the ashes and establish himself.

This could make Triple H appear as a mentor first while eventually reverting to his old treacherous self. He'd prove that he still has it, ending off an episode of Dynamite with his signature smirk. This would increase MJF's legitimacy and generate an amazing reaction from the crowd.

Of course, in the end, MJF should pick up a win over Triple H. Notching one more well known legend to his hit list.

4. Triple H rematch against Sting

Triple H last faced The Icon in 2014. A match decades in the making and seemingly one last hurrah for Sting. Unfortunately for him, Triple H took the win as a result of his signature sledgehammer. This finish upset many long-term fans as it seemed like Vince McMahon's way of reminding us that WWE won the Monday Night Wars.

Sting has since then made his surprise debut at AEW, mentoring Darby Allin and having matches at 62 years old. The Icon has a lot of steam left and has gone up against some young talent in AEW. Sting isn't stopping anytime soon and could stand toe-to-toe with the 52 year old Triple H.

At AEW there would be some tension between the two. Either man would definitely interrupt the other at the first opportunity they get. Because of the more mature nature of AEW, both men could have a far more brutal match. Exercising the tension from 2014 with an unbelievable match.

Whatever could happen, the end of this match should not end with humiliating either legendary wrestler. Triple H and Sting have had glorious careers and one last great match would only solidify that.

3. Triple H could have a feud with Ricky Starks

"Absolute" Ricky Starks is currently the FTW champion, a belt given to him by Taz. His current run is very reminiscent of a heel version of The Rock, down to the glasses and sleeveless jackets. But Starks has never gone against anyone of the caliber of Triple H.

Triple H also faced Stark's mentor, Taz, twenty years ago and could be a great way to cause some tension. Taz could hold a grudge and make sure he does everything possible to make sure Starks wins. This feud would naturally make Triple H the fan favorite and he'd have the crowd behind him.

Starks might not be as physically strong as Triple H, but picking up a win or even lasting long against him would be impressive. Starks would have the opportunity to prove that he is "Absolute" by pinning The Game.

Alternatively, Triple H could stay a heel and cause Starks to act the role of a good guy for the first time in AEW. Regardless of the outcome, the quality of the promos and in-ring work would make this a must-see.

2. Bryan Danielson could get revenge against Triple H

The feud between Triple H and Bryan Danielson is what started the "yes-movement" and shot Danielson to fame. Danielson's rise was held down by Triple H and The Authority. Danielson ended up being victorious, but the beating he took on the way was extreme.

Now a veteran and multi-time champion, Danielson has begun to make a name for himself in AEW. This mean streak would be perfect for Danielson to exercise a grudge against Triple H. Danielson could attack Triple H and remind him of what he did years ago.

Alternatively, the appearance of Triple H could still be that of a villain. A massive threat and a bad guy like Levesque could be what Danielson needs to go back to being a fan favorite. A second feud against Triple H might be difficult to navigate. Seeing them go against each other at AEW shouldn't just be version 2 of the WWE feud.

Seeing both men have another fantastic match is what fans would love to see. Danielson doesn't need to defeat Triple H to prove himself at this point, and neither does Triple H absolutely need the win. Because of this we could have brilliant back and forth wins between the two.

1. Triple H versus Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho has had a tremendous career. At 51, the wrestler has very few things he hasn't already succeeded at. After leaving WWE, Jericho became the inaugural AEW champion and is currently leading one of the best stables in AEW. A revitalized career and one of the leading wrestlers, Jericho is not the same guy he was in WWE.

Jericho and Triple H have already had feuds in the past. This left a lot of bad blood between the two. Revisiting this feud might open up old wounds and cause both men to take things too far. Their initial feud came during a time when Triple H had a lot of control backstage. This time, Jericho wouldn't be considered a mid-carder.

The history behind this feud might be exactly why Triple H would never go to AEW even if he could. During Bryan Danielson's feud against Triple H, call backs were made to the Jericho feud. This upset him at the time and might be a hint that they still hold grudges.

Triple H most likely won't ever become All Elite. But it would be very interesting if one of WWE's biggest stars jumped ship.
