Triple H to terminate former World Champion’s WWE contract because of major reason? Potential twist explored following SmackDown

Triple H is WWE's Chief Content Officer and is also somewhat entangled in the Kevin Owens saga. The Game has not appeared on television since the fallout of the Saturday Night Main Event confrontation between him and Owens. However, following the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, it's likely that The Cerebral Assassin might terminate KO's contract due to his actions against Nick Aldis.

During this week's SmackDown, the General Manager of the blue brand issued a stern warning to Kevin Owens, demanding that he return the Winged Eagle title by the show's end. Additionally, KO was told he would face serious consequences if he failed to comply. In the main event scenario, a heated altercation took place between Aldis and Owens.

Here, the SmackDown GM warned him that he would be barred from stepping into the squared circle again if he didn't follow the command. Cody Rhodes then appeared and offered Owens a rematch against him at Royal Rumble 2025 in a Ladder Match. The Prizefighter then offered Rhodes a handshake and when it wasn't accepted he threw Nick Aldis onto The American Nightmare before attacking the champion.

Despite this, the National Treasure managed to recover quickly and minimize the beatdown on Rhodes.

Pushing an authority figure like Nick Aldis is likely to have severe repercussions, and one possible outcome could be Triple H intervening in the matter. As part of the storyline, The Game might terminate Kevin Owens' contract, signaling that the 40-year-old could no longer act without consequences.

Triple H has already been portrayed as being frustrated with Owens' recent behavior, and with tensions escalating, the likelihood of severe punishment seems high. Overall, it remains to be seen how the storyline will progress and whether the CCO will confront Kevin Owens for his actions.
