Who will fell the wrath of The Authority?
No DQ Match: Daniel Bryan VS Kane
There are many opinions regarding the C.O.O Triple H. Some see him as one of the best in the business, while others vilify him for his heel tactics. One thing is for sure though, Triple H is a great man.
Not only has he took NXT and made it one of the best things in professional wrestling today, but he has sacrificed himself time and time again for OUR entertainment, lets not forget the fact that him and his wife Stephanie founded an organization in honor of Conor “the crusher” an organization in which all the proceeds go into childhood cancer.
If that’s not enough this past Monday after Raw went off air during the dark match the cerebral assassin broke his heel character to console a young fan in the front row who had been crying over the beat down of one of his heroes John Cena. Fans in attendance said that Triple H went up to the young boy, patted him on his head, and said “everything was ok”.
Fans in attendance said that Stephanie broke character as well. It was also said that after the show was concluded the boy and his father were seen making their way to the backstage area.
Regardless of how you may feel about HHH one fact remains: HE IS BEST FOR BUSINESS

In the latest Michael Cole sitdown interview with Triple H – Triple H said Sting is becoming a problem for him and if Sting wants to make a name for himself by coming after The Game, he’s making the biggest mistake in his life. Triple H says the next time Sting puts his nose in his business will be the last time Sting does anything.
Triple H confirmed that Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan will be on SmackDown this Thursday and that they will get what they deserve.
Triple H said Brock Lesnar seemed nervous on RAW and believes that Seth Rollins got under Lesnar’s skin. Triple H also talked about the Royal Rumble Match.
As noted before, 2 former WWE wrestlers Vito Lograsso (Big Vito) and Evan Singleton (Adam Mercer in developmental) filed a class-action “concussion lawsuit” against WWE in Pennsylvania. The lawsuit seeks unspecified economic damages and medical monitoring. They are being represented by the same lawyer hired by former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes in his similar lawsuit against WWE.
WWE lawyer Jerry McDevitt issued the following statement in response to the new lawsuit:
“This lawsuit is virtually identical to the one filed by the same lawyers in Oregon, neither of which have any merit. WWE has never concealed any medical information related to concussions, or otherwise, from our Talents. WWE was well ahead of sports organizations in implementing concussion management procedures and policies as a precautionary measure as the science and research on this issue emerged. We will vigorously contest this lawsuit.”

WWE sent out this tweet earlier:
In one of my favorite segments from last nights RAW Reunion show, The Ascension interrupted the NWO (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash & X-Pac). The Ascension continued their bad mouthing and disrespecting of legendary tag teams. This time however, The Ascension got put in their place and got beat down by the New Age Outlaws (“Road Dogg” Jesse James & Billy Gunn) along with APA (JBL & Ron Simmons) & NWO.
Last nights RAW opened with this above video of WWE honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Sting made his first ever appearance on RAW in a shocking fashion last night on the RAW Reunion show during the main event match. John Cena put his WWE World Heavyweight Title shot at Royal Rumble on the line for a chance to win back the jobs for Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan. The Authority had the deck stacked against Cena, as Cena had to face Seth Rollins, Big Show and Kane in a 3-1 handicap match with Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and J & J security all at ringside. Sting appeared on the big screen, his music hit and Sting headed out toward entrance, Sting came out on the stage atop the ramp & pointed to the ring. Cena took advantage of the distraction and rolled up Rollins for the win. Cena won back the jobs for Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan. Triple H was irate at Sting for what happened.
