According to F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H’s arm injury, which has now been identified as a torn biceps, could keep him out of the ring until the latter part of 2010.
At press time, a late October return looked to be the optimistic re-entry date, with something as late as December still within the realm of possibility.
Triple H remains an internal candidate to turn heel and emerge as Nexus’ “leader,” but the chances of that happening are obviously improved by the rapidity with which he could return. If he can return in the first half of the fall, it would make sense to use him to bolster the Nexus storyline–the closer its gets to the Royal Rumble, however, the more sense it would make to have him return as a face to rekindle his feud with Sheamus.
