Kevin Nash Takes Out Triple H

If pro wrestling really was about trying to hurt your opponent, Kevin Nash would have one of the greatest finisher moves ever. That huge attack he gave Triple H on Raw was to write Triple H off due to the injury he had suffered the night before. Triple H will be out for at least a month, meaning he will miss Survivor Series. The WWE's own website is reporting it, and I doubt it is all kayfabe.

Obviously, this will put a dent in the WWE's plans. Triple H was one of the top guys on Raw since his return. He was involved in a power struggle with John Laurinaitis, feuding against Miz & R-Truth, and looked to be going back into his singles feud with Kevin Nash. If anything, his feud with Kevin Nash just got raised to an even higher level.

The dent is not too huge. CM Punk will get his feud with Alberto Del Rio. John Cena and The Rock move on to Miz & R-Truth. You have a lot of midcarders on both brands who can make for a classic Survivor Series match. The divas look like they may be heading into a large match too. If not, Alicia Fox is heading into a title feud against Beth Phoenix? Large tag match makes more sense, since it is Survivor Series coming up. Big Show and Mark Henry are not finished yet, although I wouldn't mind them being involved in one of the elimination tag matches as captains for their respective teams. Leave Big Show's rematch for Smackdown or the PPV after Survivor Series. Point is, not much harm was done to the potential of the Survivor Series card because of Triple H's injury. The main draw was going to be The Rock anyway.

One last point on Triple H. I am not usually the guy who says that the WWE is doing something that makes no sense at all. When I see other people doing that, I can usually either see the WWE's side of what they are doing or just feel the whole thing is so trivial, it can be overlooked. On Raw, Triple H revealed he was still COO. That means he was still technically overseeing everything. All he lost was control of Raw to Laurinaitis. But if he still outranks him, doesn't that make all the protesting the WWE had going on seem meaningless? So what gave Triple H the right to run Raw in the first place? What happened to the Anonymous Raw GM? And if Triple H only lost control of Raw, why can't he still push his weight over on Smackdown? If control of Raw was all he lost, why were Smackdown workers against him too? I can understand the WWE's dilemma a little. If they take away Triple H's COO position and name Laurinaitis new interim Raw GM, who is the new COO? Why could they not just name Laurinaitis interim COO until the Board of Directors chooses a new one? The way things are working out, Triple H still should have had the authority to overrule whatever unfair decisions he felt Laurinaitis made. Also, Triple H would still have power, which would make a lot of the wrestlers who protested against him unhappy, especially the heels. Moreover, Triple H still had the title, but he was not doing anything too major with it. So what's the point? They should have just given it to Laurinaitis. Hopefully, when Triple H returns, they can pretend he is no longer COO, just like they are pretending a computer no longer runs Raw.
