So is this when we should be expecting Triple H to return? Or is he busy playing family man with Stephanie and the father-in-law?
Current stories/angles are weak at the moment...

I think he's just about healed. Nothing solid, but he should be part of wrestlemania, but I have no clue who he'll be working with.
My guess is (unfortunately) that he'll win the rumble and be there long term to put Miz in his place.
I think I did read earlier this week, however, that he's now essentially taken over the booking, and is now acting as the new Vince.
I'm actually intrigued to see where they're going to go with CM Punk and John Cena. It's a fresh feud that could establish Punk as a main event heel if they don't squash him too quickly, even with Nexus hanging around Punk's neck like a lead weight.
I wish to christ they'd do something with Daniel Bryan. He's the best worker on either brand by a long shot and if they'd give him time the way Miz and Morrison were on Monday (which was great) he's somebody else who could really establish himself. He's been getting over despite everything they've tried to do to keep him down (losing streak on NXT, Cole's constant hammering, goofy t-shirt and behavior with the bellas, etc). You can tell that he's somebody that most of the crowds seem to want to like, but he wasn't even on Raw last week...
I have no idea what else they're going to do. It still makes more sense to have HHH come back and feud with Sheamus, but they've managed to turn Sheamus from a monster into a joke in about two months time.
I guess we'll see more "mainstream" bullshit, "hollywood" "stars" come in to try to pop a buy rate. Maybe Brock Lesnar in a referee's role. And on raw we'll continue to have our time wasted with horrible backstage segments, awful women's matches, and the continued destruction of the tag team division with "champions" santino and koslov.
They could be so much more...
(They meaning Raw and Smackdown)
You know, the thing I liked most about Raw this week is that it opened up with a long match, instead of a long segment, and it ended basically the same way. I think the show would be so much better if they'd gear it towards events in the ring instead of on the mike. Make it more about fighting and less about storyline. Or make the storylines lead in a logical way to matches that are portrayed to be some kind of athletic competition, mano y mano.
