This week’s episode of WWE Raw was highly anticipated due to the aftermath of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, which generated a lot of buzz. Additionally, WWE began building towards the upcoming SummerSlam event on August 5th in Detroit, Michigan. However, there was one noticeable absence backstage at Monday Night Raw: Triple H.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that Triple H was not present at Raw, surprising many people in attendance. Despite his absence, sources mentioned that Triple H had been in a positive mood backstage on Saturday for Money in the Bank and was excited about the success of the event.
According to insiders, there was no specific reason given for Triple H’s absence from Raw, and it was deemed as a planned night off for him. It is expected that he will be present at Friday’s SmackDown. Meanwhile, Bruce Prichard stepped in to run the show in Triple H’s place.
It’s worth noting that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon did not travel to London for Money in the Bank and was also not backstage at Raw. While the exact reasons for their absence were not revealed, it is not uncommon for high-ranking officials to miss certain events due to various factors.
As fans eagerly await further developments and the road to SummerSlam continues, the absence of Triple H and Vince McMahon adds an element of intrigue to the behind-the-scenes dynamics within WWE. The company’s ability to adapt and handle such situations is a testament to its organizational structure and the team’s collective efforts to ensure a seamless production.
