WWE

A new report has revealed whether Triple H was at the May 15 WWE Raw following his absence from last Friday’s SmackDown.

Since taking over creative from Vince McMahon in July 2022, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque has led all the WWE shows except the Raw after WrestleMania 39 this year.

However, Levesque was absent backstage during the May 12 edition of WWE SmackDown with Bruce Pritchard being tasked to lead thing in his absence.

Per Fightful Select (subscription required), Triple H was back in charge of creative backstage at this week’s May 15 episode of WWE Raw.

Monday’s show featured the latest buildup for the upcoming Night of Champions event with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens being the centerpiece of the program as Paul Heyman set up some obstacles for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.

Owens and Zayn suffered their first loss as a tag team since becoming champions to The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and Damian Priest in the main event following interference from Imperium.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Night of Champions on May 27.
