4 Things Triple H Got Right on WWE RAW This Week

The latest episode of WWE RAW saw the feuds and storylines shift gears as the company prepares to wrap up the year. While the show was taped, it featured several exciting matches and major segments. WWE also made a few championship match official for the red brand's anniversary on Netflix, giving fans something to look forward to.

The company's creative head Triple H has been on fans' radar lately due to the degrading quality of the weekly shows. This week, Hunter made sure to give fans what they wanted. The creative team managed to deliver a great show, having some noteworthy moments. While not everything went perfectly, most of them stood out and exhilarated fans.

Let's take a look at four things Triple H got right on WWE RAW this week:

#4. Showcasing Maxxine Dupri as a legitimate champion

When Maxxine Dupri became the Women's Intercontinental Champion, few fans were skeptical about whether she could carry it as a. However, Triple H did a great job this week by making the 28-year-old look like a credible champion. Dupri delivered a vociferous promo on WWE RAW against Becky Lynch, a promo that reflected her intensity and charisma.

WWE gave her adequate time to shine in front of Lynch and establish her footing as a champion. Moreover, Maxxine Dupri did not step back from a fight and accepted The Man's challenge like a true champion. She even made Becky Lynch tap out on RAW and made a defeaning statement. Showcasing Dupri's potential was one of the best things Triple H did this week on the red brand.

#3. Austin Theory pinning Rey Mysterio on WWE RAW

Fresh off his unmasking last week, Austin Theory was the biggest highlight of last night. The former United States Champion competed in a huge tag team match this week on WWE RAW, where he teamed up with Bronson Reed to take on CM Punk and Rey Mysterio. Triple H gave Theory a major spotlight as he pinned the legendary luchador and secured a huge win for his team.

There couldn't be any better way for the 28-year-old to make a statement than pinning an elite Hall of Famer like Mysterio. This was a great move that positioned Austin Theory at the pedestal immediately upon his return. He can carry that momentum forward in his storyline on Monday Night RAW, as this victory would now make him look like a menace.

#2. Solving the Women's World Championship dilemma

The Women's World Championship picture has gotten quite chaotic lately, with multiple superstars involved in the mix. Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez have been on a rampage, as both women want to get their hands on Stephanie Vaquer. Triple H finally solved that problem this week on WWE RAW by turning this situation into a Triple Threat Match.

Vaquer will now defend her championship against both Rodriguez and Bella on WWE RAW's anniversary on Netflix. This was indeed the right call as it will help the company keep all three superstars in the title picture. Moreover, triple threat matches often ignite more interest among fans, as it paves the way for several compelling things.

#1. Gunther absorbing heel heat yet again

After provoking the fans and disrespecting John Cena last week, Gunther showed up on WWE RAW yet again to do the same thing. He rattled the crowd this week once again, delivering a brief yet menacing promo. The Ring General also continued to mock AJ Styles for the second consecutive week. While these events may have irked fans, it was the perfect move for WWE.

The company has now established Gunther as a public enemy. The 38-year-old has become one of the biggest heels in all of WWE today. This will help the creative team craft some interesting storylines involving the Austrian in 2026. Moreover, WWE can build generational babyfaces, as anyone who steps up to The Ring General will automatically get thunderous cheers.
