Around the 9:00 hour of the first-ever RAW SuperShow (it was three hours) Chief Operating Officer Triple H entered the Barclays Center for the first time to a sea of cheers. It would look odd for a businessman to arrive someplace wearing a suit, tie, and a black eye, but this is WWE we're talking about here. Triple H had to discuss something serious. About business, of course. He first congratulated John Cena on retaining the WWE Championship 24 hours ago, and stated that he regrets getting involved in the match. Which is what led him to his next point: The Executioner. Ever since he returned to RAW that one night, in the COO's words, he has caused trouble for everybody he has stepped in front of. Attacks on William Kelly-McLaurin, his ex-husband Randy Orton, Mike "The Flame" Anderson, Michael Cole, new commentator Carson Stewart, John Cena, Christian, Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, The Miz, Triple H himself, Mr. McMahon, and SmackDown GM Teddy Long. Not to mention a sexual harassment of Anderson's wife Bridgit Mendler. Triple H firmly made it clear that whether Executioner likes it or not, he answers to the COO along with every other member of the RAW brand. "So this is what I'm proposing. You, me, Hell In A Cell," Triple H said to a roaring crowd. However, this wouldn't be any regular match. It'll be inside Hell in a Cell! The COO also made another stipulation-if Executioner loses, he'll be fired and banned from the WWE for a year. Triple H also made it clear that Executioner will only have to accept or decline if he loses the Triple Threat Match later that night (of course, he did end up losing). Four days later on SmackDown, Executioner showed up as a guest to answer The Game's challenge. Surprisingly, Executioner said yes (while also pointing out that he knew the choice wasn't his to make in the end). However, the Demonic Destroyer stated that if he's putting his career on the line, Triple H has to put his power on the line. If Executioner wins, Triple H will no longer run RAW. "You can go ahead and have all the fun you want in your suit and tie, but I don't want you making the rules on MY damn show anymore," Executioner stated, and left. Later that night, in a satellite interview with Cole, Josh Matthews, and Stewart, Triple H agreed to put his control of RAW on the line. He also vowed to destroy Executioner at Hell In A Cell for him, the roster, and the whole WWE Universe.
On the final RAW before Hell In A Cell, Triple H came out wearing a "Call To Power" T-shirt and jeans, ditching his corporate clothing for one night. He asked The Devil's Playground to be lowered, and called out The Executioner. "Everybody Down" started playing as Executioner entered the Cell through the crowd. The two had a very heated argument. Executioner claims how Triple H is only in the business for himself, and what CM Punk said in June wasn't just sour grapes; he was telling the truth. "You're a failure, Hunter. That's what you've always been, and that's what you'll always be. There was NOTHING that separated you from guys like "Stone Cold" or The Rock or The Undertaker or even your best friend Shawn Michaels. When we step inside Hell in a Cell, I'm not only going to end your control of RAW, I'm going to end your career." Triple H took a 15-second pause to soak it in, then tore into Executioner by claiming that he has no respect for the COO, for Mr. McMahon, for the other Superstars, for everyone he has ever come in contact with. The King of Kings even implied that Executioner disrespects himself even more. Triple H then referred to The Executioner as "Jason" and stated that if he looks around, he'll see that nobody needs or wants him in the WWE, and at Hell In A Cell, it'll be proven. Once Executioner called Triple H the COO again, The Game stated that he isn't talking to his boss or his employer anymore. He's talking to another wrestler. He's talking to an opponent, a competitor. "YOU'RE TALKING TO THE MAN THAT WILL TAKE YOU OUT IN SIX DAYS!," Triple H yelled. Executioner then said, "Well, in that case..." and struck a blow. The COO responded back and the two brawled around the ring, even getting a taste of what the Cell will be like on Sunday. Security guards and road agents weren't even enough to keep the two apart. Referees failed horribly, as both Executioner and Triple H got rid of them with ease. At one point, Executioner tossed Mike Chioda into the Cell wall like a Barbie doll. The entire WWE roster had to stop the fight from escalating into a bloody war. At Hell In A Cell, that's exactly what it will be. A war. The man defending the company that will be his sooner rather than later against the man that respects no one, possibly even himself. Inside The Devil's Playground. Will Triple H end The Executioner's career and get rid of WWE's biggest problem in the match he rules? Or will The Executioner continue his reign of terror and prove the COO isn't even enough to stop him?
