Triple H Booed By WWE Crowd
Digest more
The latest episode of SmackDown was the go-home show before Saturday Night's Main Event XLII. The atmosphere was thick and the air was filled with melancholy as John Cena's retirement loomed on the horizon. Amid this, Triple H managed to deliver a decent show from Wilkes-Barre that included a championship defense and a mixed tag team match.
Triple H has made some positive booking decisions at times during his spell in charge, but 2025 has been a tough creative period for the company. WWE is starting to feel stale, with Raw and SmackDown almost booking themselves at this point, while the premium live events often lack any surprise or edge.
