That said, in this article, we look at four storylines WWE’s Chief Content Officer cannot afford to mishandle before Sunday Night’s Main Event.

#4. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton’s rivalry

The biggest attraction heading into the show is arguably the personal rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Orton returned at SummerSlam and cost Rhodes his Undisputed WWE Championship match against CM Punk, immediately creating a major issue between two superstars with a complicated history.

Their September 6 match needs to feel like the payoff to that betrayal rather than simply another premium television bout. The company also has an important stipulation hanging over the feud. Nick Aldis has warned that if either man initiates physicality before their match, that superstar will never receive another Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity.

That gives every interaction added importance. Triple H must protect the tension, keep both men strong, and avoid giving away the biggest moments before Atlanta.

#3. Roman Reigns and The Bloodline chaos

The Bloodline story has become increasingly complicated. Roman Reigns remains the World Heavyweight Champion. However, his family is anything but united. Jacob Fatu has shown signs of frustration, Solo Sikoa remains at odds with the group, and The Usos have been pulled into the conflict.

The situation became even more unpredictable when Royce Keys returned alongside OTM on RAW and attacked The Usos, LA Knight, and Sikoa. Keys’ connection to Solo and his history with The Bloodline give WWE plenty of material to explore.

Triple H cannot let the story get overcrowded. Each character needs a clear motivation, particularly Roman and Fatu. The eventual confrontation should feel like a natural escalation, not a collection of random betrayals.

#2. Roman’s next World Heavyweight Championship challenger

Roman Reigns’ championship reign needs a meaningful direction after Sunday Night’s Main Event. WWE has been running a tournament to determine his next challenger, with Penta and Rey Fenix advancing to the final.

That development allows the company to establish a fresh challenger while keeping Roman’s championship reign important. Both men have legitimate momentum. However, whoever wins needs to feel like someone capable of threatening The OTC.

The tournament cannot simply exist to fill television time. Triple H should make the final feel consequential and ensure the winner receives sufficient promotion before facing Roman Reigns.

A strong build could also help Roman temporarily move beyond the family drama, giving the World Heavyweight Championship a separate identity while the Bloodline story continues in the background.

#1. The Undisputed WWE Championship picture

The Undisputed WWE Championship picture is another area requiring careful handling. CM Punk remains champion. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens has become one of his most personal challengers. Sami Zayn has also inserted himself into the situation, creating another complicated layer.

Zayn recently interfered during Punk’s match with Owens, attacking Owens with the championship. As a result, Punk retained the title. That moment made it clear that Sami is not finished with either man.

The company now has to determine whether this becomes a straightforward Punk-Owens rivalry, a three-way championship story, or perhaps a longer storyline involving Zayn’s obsession with regaining the title.

Triple H should avoid making the championship feel secondary to the surrounding drama. CM Punk’s reign needs a defining rivalry. Also, Owens and Zayn both need believable motivations.
