Triple H to announce the return of 47-year-old WWE legend? Analyzing potential storyline impact

Triple H is set to make his return on tonight's edition of SmackDown as the blue brand hosts its Season Premiere. The King of Kings' return is anticipated by fans as he is likely to have a significant announcement in store for the audience. One of the potential announcements could be the return of Stephanie McMahon to WWE television.

For a very long time, Stephanie McMahon has not been actively involved in WWE television and storylines in the company. One of her most recent appearances came on the July 22, 2022, edition of SmackDown when she thanked Mr. McMahon after his retirement announcement from the business. In previous years, Stephanie also hosted WWE Drafts and Superstar Shakeups.

If Triple H did announce Stephanie's return on tonight's show, the possible scenario that might unfold could be that she could become the General Manager of the blue brand. In the past, Stephanie played the role of General Manager for WWE RAW, which was beloved by fans.

With Adam Pearce currently serving as the sole authority figure regularly appearing on television, Stephanie McMahon's return could help the Stamford-based promotion have another impactful authority figure on television. It will be interesting to see how things unfold on tonight's show and what announcement Triple H has in store for us.

What other announcements could Triple H be likely to make on tonight's SmackDown

Other possible announcements that Triple H could make might include the split of the Undisputed Tag Team titles. The Cerebral Assassin may announce that the titles will go their separate ways, providing each brand with its exclusive tag team titles. Additionally, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso are likely to issue an open challenge for their titles on tonight's edition of the blue brand which is already teased to be answered by Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Another possibility could be an announcement related to Crown Jewel 2023. The King of Kings might announce the return of the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring Tournament, whose finals were last held in 2021 at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.

Overall, Triple H's return on the Season Premiere edition is generating significant buzz for this show. Furthermore, with Roman Reigns making his highly anticipated return after months of absence and John Cena appearing following his victory against The Bloodline at Fastlane 2023, anticipation for this SmackDown is at an all-time high.
