Triple H has been the architect of WWE's creative regime for the past three years. Under his booking, several superstars rose to the spotlight while others remained trapped in a creative abyss. Even the most astute stars who once rode red-hot momentum on RAW and SmackDown have become directionless as WWE barrels toward Survivor Series.

Survivor Series is one of WWE's major premium live events, and it allows superstars to shine. However, certain talents have become victims of Triple H's creative limbo ahead of the upcoming spectacle. From a multi-time world champion to a heralded international signing, there is a long list of talents the WWE has fumbled with.

Let's take a look at five stars Triple H has buried ahead of Survivor Series.

#5. Damian Priest

Damian Priest was involved in a heated feud with Aleister Black on SmackDown. Just when it looked like this rivalry would culminate in a meaningful way ahead of Survivor Series, WWE apparently dropped all those plans. Priest has been missing from television for the past few weeks, and there is currently no update on what's in store for him.

Triple H has seemingly dropped the ball on The Punisher. Ever since arriving on SmackDown, nothing significant has happened with him. Damian Priest has only found himself stuck in a creative fissure. The fact that WWE couldn't capitalize on the aftermath of his feud with Aleister Black tells that The Game has no major plans for him.

#4. Triple H has buried Giulia

Giulia was one of the most heralded international signings of WWE this year. However, her booking went from bad to worse. She lost the Women's United States Championship to Chelsea Green a few weeks ago. It looked like the company was planning a major feud between the two stars that would lead all the way to Survivor Series.

However, that didn't happen, and instead Giulia became an afterthought following her title loss. Despite being one of the brightest stars on the SmackDown roster, Triple H has buried her beneath layers of poor booking and narrative neglect. This was not just a creative fiasco but rather a character butchering of one of the most decorated stars in pro wrestling.

#3. & #2. Lyra Valkyria & Bayley

Lyra Valkyria and Bayley have been working together as a tag team on Monday Night RAW. The duo was actively involved in storylines with The Kabuki Warriors and The Judgment Day. Besides, the creative team was also showcasing an individual storyline for The Role Model, where she was undergoing a cryptic character change.

However, all that progression came to an abrupt halt. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria have been wandering directionless on the roster ahead of Survivor Series. They have barely been getting any screentime on Monday Night RAW of late. The once-promising duo has been relegated to mere backstage segments that have little to no meaning.

#1. LA Knight

One of the biggest and most prominent stars Triple H has apparently buried ahead of Survivor Series is LA Knight. The Megastar was involved in an active storyline with The Vision a month ago, and it looked like he was supposed to be part of the Men's WarGames Match this year. However, his storyline took a sharp turn, leaving fans scratching their heads.

Knight is currently involved in The Last Time is Now Tournament. Although he advanced to the quarterfinals, it's quite obvious that The Defiant One is not slated to win the contest. His involvement in this tournament would likely lead him nowhere, but his participation in the WarGames could have. Hence, Triple H's booking indicates that he has apparently given up on LA Knight.
