McMahon / Triple H Storyline to Continue Past Payback

Vince McMahon and Triple H are being advertised for the June 17th edition of Monday Night Raw, the night following company’s newest PPV event, WWE Payback. Mr. McMahon and Triple H were not on the original card for RAW, but have since been added. Many believe this will keep the current McMahon/Triple H “conflict” storyline going until possibly Summerslam, if not longer.

The “McMahon Family Soap Opera” storyline began during Triple H’s match with Curtis Axel during a previous RAW, in which he was showing signs of a “concussion” (merely storyline). The “concussion” was said to have been given to Triple H by Brock Lesnar at WWE Extreme Rules. The storyline then escalated Monday night when Vince and Stephanie forbad Triple H to try and wrestle Axel again. This “family drama” will play out throughout the summer as the WWE tries to boost its ratings, since ratings have been relatively low since WrestleMania 29. For the foreseeable future at least, it looks as if the WWE Creative team has “no chance in hell” when it comes to keeping the McMahons off of WWE television.
