WWE icon Triple H is set to drop a bombshell announcement this week, sparking intense speculation and rumors across the wrestling world, especially amidst swirling talks about WWE potentially acquiring TNA. Adding to the excitement, WWE has revealed an upcoming WWE Preview Special 2024 on Peacock, featuring none other than CM Punk.
The anticipation mounts with the confirmed appearances of Rhea Ripley, Ilja Dragunov, Bianca Blair, and Montez Ford advertised for the show. Michael Cole teased Raw viewers with the promise of Triple H making a major announcement during this event. The buzz about a possible WWE-TNA collaboration or acquisition gained traction when TNA’s Special was labeled a “premium live event,” a term usually reserved for WWE’s major shows. The talks intensified, especially with speculations about Naomi, aka Impact Knockouts World Champion Trinity, potentially returning to WWE.
Fueling the rumors further, the imminent launch of the TNA+ streaming service, scheduled just after Triple H’s announcement, added another layer of intrigue to the speculation.
Contrary to widespread belief, reports from PWInsider indicate that Triple H’s announcement won’t involve TNA. Additionally, there seems to be no plan for WWE and TNA to address the Forbidden Door concept this week. As of now, no concrete details have surfaced about the nature of Triple H’s impending revelation.
In a surprising turn of events, Raw Day 1 sparked talks of a former WWE Champion’s return this week, which Triple H hinted at on X. Although fans weren’t thrilled about Jinder Mahal’s comeback as the former WWE Champion, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when The Rock’s iconic theme music filled the arena, leaving fans in awe of his unexpected return.
