Triple H suffered an unfortunate injury during his tag team match up against The Undertaker and Kane at WWE’s Crown Jewel event, this past Friday.
The injury, believed to be related to his pec, is thought to have occurred as Hunter took a Harley Race-esque bump to the outside.
Because of this, it appears that Triple H will require surgery. News broke shortly after Crown Jewel had finished that he flew straight to Birmingham, Alabama.
A torn pectoral muscle usually requires six months to heal and rehab, if all things go smoothly. If not, then rehabilitation and healing could take as long as a year for full recovery.
With Wrestlemania 35 just five months away, there is a very real chance that Triple H simply won’t be fit to compete against Batista.
SmackDown 1000
WWE planted seeds for what they hoped would become a major feud at SmackDown’s recent 1000th episode celebration.
Batista’s flippant comments towards Triple H during the Evolution section of the show teased the start of their storyline.
Because of the injury, there is concern within the WWE that the match will no longer happen. Batista, to his credit, is thought to be determined with competing at Wrestlemania 35.
This decision would force the WWE into finding a suitable replacement for The Animal sooner rather than later.
