Returning WWE Legend And Triple H Announced For Next Week's Raw
Triple H will return next week to address The Undertaker - but that's not all...
WWE have announced that Triple H will return to address The Undertaker on next week's Monday Night Raw.
'Taker appeared on last night's show unannounced, interrupting Shawn Michaels mid-promo. HBK was in the ring to hype the upcoming Undertaker vs. Triple H match at Super Show-Down - WWE's Melbourne, Australia show on October 6th.
During his promo, Michaels explained that he thinks Triple H will win the match, prompting Undertaker to make his entrance and confront the Heartbreak Kid. The pair exchanged words, with 'Taker accusing Michaels of being too scared to return to the ring and face him.
Michaels retired in 2010 after losing to Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVI - a critically acclaimed 'career vs. streak' match. He has honoured the stipulation, and hasn't wrestled a match against anybody since.
However, this confrontation has led to widespread online speculation that WWE are planning to book another Michaels/Undertaker showdown. The pair have put on many memorable bouts together, from the excellent clashes at WrestleMania XXV and XXVI to the first ever Hell in a Cell match in 1997.
Another big name announced for next week's Raw is Mick Foley. The former WWF Champion and recent Raw general manager is making an appearance to celebrate 20 years since his groundbreaking Hell in a Cell match with Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998.
That match is remembered as one of the most controversial in WWE history, as Foley took two incredibly dangerous bumps - one from the top of the Cell through the announce table, the other through the Cell roof to the canvas below.
