Triple H Return Update
Triple H is scheduled to return within a few weeks and is slated to appear at WrestleMania 27. The reason he hasn't been brought back quicker is because he is not involved in the Elimination Chamber angle and obviously wouldn't win, so WWE want his return to have a big impact. In terms of his role right now, he is continuing to learn all aspects of the business and has received praise at the dedication he is showing in trying to learn.
