Triple H versus Vince McMahon - A feud to watch out for

WWE Trio

Vince McMahon was undoubtedly the best heel character during the Attitude Era in the late 90’s. The feuds that he had with the rattle snake Stone Cold Steve Austin were legendary to say the least! If the recent developments we have witnessed on WWE Raw is anything to go by, a return of the best heel ever is on the cards and as a big WWE fan, this is something very exciting indeed.

This all started after last month’s WWE pay per view ‘Extreme Rules’ where Triple H lost to the beast Brock Lesnar and possibly suffered a concussion when the beast hit the game with a sledge hammer on the head. Triple H returned the following night on Raw and faced the newest Paul Heyman guy Curtis Axel. After the beating he took just 24 hours ago, it was evident that Triple H was not a 100% for the match against Axel and we all saw the adverse effects during the match when Triple H could not even stand up and finish it.

On the next edition of Raw, Vince and his daughter Stephanie, who is also Triple H’s wife (real, no storyline!), showed up and requested that Triple H should not wrestle Curtis Axel and risk his life. We saw a first glimpse of Triple H and Vince showdown but Stephanie avoided it and the match never took place. However, when last week’s Raw aired, Triple H was in the ring again to wrestle Curtis Axel and the match did begin only to witness a power struggle between Triple H and Vince during the match. Later Stephanie tried to calm down both of the them in the locker room.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Now the possiblilites for this feud are endless. We might see this feud gaining momentum in the days to come and possibly at Payback. Here are few angles that may take place

Power Struggle

What I am hoping for, is a power sharing agreement that may be take place between Triple H and Vince McMahon. Stephanie is the common link here and what Stephanie might propose to both is a Brand Extension. Vince McMahon may be the boss of RAW as it was his creation and Triple H could be handling the reigns of Smackdown. If this happens things will get interesting for sure. A competition within the company is good for the storylines and news superstars can emerge. Also, the power struggle angle between the game and Vinny Mac can go on for a longer period. Inter-brand promotional matches, the WWE draft are some of the things which will be of interest to the fans for sure.

Alliance with Paul Heyman

Another possibility is of Vince McMahon joining hands with Heyman. There is one thing common in Indian Politics and WWE, there are no friends and enemies. This is an angle that the creative team can explore and may be make a big stable like ‘The Alliance’ during the Invasion storyline. Triple H on the other hand can revive his own stable of Evolution by bringing back the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and Batista alongwith Randy Orton or even a reunion of DX with new superstars alongwith Triple H and Shawn Michaels. I am a big fan of wrestling stables and if the creative team does give this a thought, the storyline has a huge potential that could go all the way till Wrestlemania 30.

Stephanie McMahon – A Heel Turn

Stephanie is currently sandwiched in the feud between her father and her husband. I am sure that this feud will have some bearing or the other at WWE Payback. Stephanie may decide to take a stand, may be with her father or her husband. If the creative team does decide to make Stephanie take a side, now is the best day to do so. WWE Payback takes place on Fathers Day and a heel turn for Stephanie, where she decides to support her father instead of her husband, would be awesome or even vice-versa, where she back stabs her father on Fathers Day and decides to join Triple H.

As I said earlier, the possibilities for this feud are endless and the picture will get clearer in the days to come. Is there another angle to this feud I missed out? Do let me know your views in the comments fields below….
