During WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, 2024, Cody Rhodes successfully defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. However, after the show went off the air, the celebration took a dark turn. Cody began cutting a post-match promo, only to be blindsided by Owens, who delivered a vicious package piledriver to the champion.
As Owens exited the ringside area, he was confronted by Paul “Triple H” Levesque, creating an unexpected and buzzworthy moment. This interaction sparked widespread speculation on social media, with fans wondering if Triple H might be considering a return to the ring for one more match.
Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda.com quickly clarified the situation, writing:
“I was informed that Triple H’s physical involvement following Kevin Owens’s post-match attack on Cody Rhodes at #SNME is only to elevate Owens as a heel, and the Cody/Owens feud is slated to continue. A Triple H in-ring return is not in the plans at this time.”
Triple H has been open about his retirement from in-ring competition due to health concerns. In March 2022, he confirmed he would never wrestle again after undergoing a life-saving heart procedure.
While the confrontation added drama to the event and further intensified the Cody/Owens rivalry, it appears Triple H’s involvement was purely to heighten the storytelling, not to signal an in-ring comeback. Fans can expect the focus to remain on Cody and Owens as their feud continues to unfold.
