4 reasons why Triple H is facing Randy Orton in Saudi Arabia

#1 Start of a new long-term storyline?

Triple H has not appeared in a meaningful WWE storyline since he defeated Batista at WrestleMania 35, despite the fact that his fellow authority figures – Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon – have been up to their old villainous tricks again over the last few weeks.

The WWE audience still has no idea what HHH, who is now a good guy, thinks of the McMahons’ recent shenanigans, so perhaps this match against Randy Orton can kick-start a new long-term storyline about WWE’s decision-makers’ battle for power.

There was a lot of talk after the first Saudi Arabia event, the Greatest Royal Rumble, that the live special was essentially a glorified house show, but the same could not be said for the second event, Crown Jewel, which featured major storyline developments with Shane McMahon, The Miz, Baron Corbin, Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman.

Maybe, just maybe, WWE will take a similar approach with Super ShowDown, and this match between HHH and Orton might prove to be very meaningful in the long run.
