Rumor Mill - Triple H's WWE Status & TV Return Plans
Back in the beginning of March, WrestleZone was the first to exclusively report, in an article which you can read if you click here, that WWE star Triple H suffered a shoulder/back injury at this year's Elimination Chamber PPV.
About a month later we provided an exclusive update on Triple H's condition in a report that you can read if you click here.
The Wrestling Observer is now reporting that Triple H is being kept off WWE TV while he shoots an upcoming WWE Studios film "The Chaperone," but apparently he's also more hurt than originally thought, and lingering pain is another reason why he's being kept off TV. It's unknown at this point how extensive Triple H's injuries are, but sources are claiming that a planned Triple H vs Edge SummerSlam feud has been scrapped.

SmackDown Results: A Fatal Proclamation
Given the ultimatum of facing Drew McIntyre or being fired – per Mr. McMahon’s directive – SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was forced by the Scottish Superstar to get down on his knees, proclaim McIntyre the “Chosen One,” crawl to the middle of the squared circle and lay on his back to take the three-count.
As McIntyre prepared to attack Teddy after the match, Kofi Kingston charged to his rescue. But, with a special security team holding back the Intercontinental Champion, McIntyre was free to carry out a vicious assault on the defenseless Superstar. Matt Hardy then emerged from the crowd, only to suffer the same brutal fate. In a fatal act of aggression, McIntyre delivered the double-under-hook DDT to both Kofi and Hardy. Full results.
