The reason that Triple H is telling people he'll be able to return to the ring is six months - instead of the originally projected eight or nine - from his second torn quadriceps is that Dr. James Andrews has told him of the advances in the sutiring material and surgical procedure since he suffered his first quadriceps tear nearly six years ago.

However,, public estimates of Triple H’s return from injury are still 6-8 months, contradicting the initial estimate reported on WWE.com of 5-6 months. This means that SummerSlam is a good target event for the star to return by.
