10 Red Flags For The Future Of Triple H's WWE

10. The Clash At The Castle Detail Nobody Cared About At The Time

Clash At The Castle had just about everything.

An awesome stadium-sized crowd, a host of excellent contests including one nailed-on Match Of The Year contender, and a heady mix what an idealised version of WWE should strive to always be as a live viewing experience. Even the timing of it was perfect - Triple H had assumed the reins of the shows in July, optimism about the future of the main roster was at an all-time high and a stadium show-starved UK audience received the event as if it was every bit the SummerSlam sequel the company promoted it as.

It was a special, special event. But WWE is still WWE no matter which McMahon family member holds the power. And that WWE doesn't know how to book a show that would't follow all that praise with a "but".

It wasn't even that apparent until the main event made the bold (but correct) call to have Roman Reigns defeat home nations challenger Drew McIntyre, but elsewhere the card featured zero title changes, heels winning all-but two matches and a heel turn at the climax of one of those. Dominik Mysterio's switch ruled, actually, but the main message was that even in a dreamlike state of satisfaction, WWE's default will always be to keep supplying platefuls of sh*t.

As the first heel to retain his Championship at WrestleMania having turned heel on the show one year earlier, there's a strong chance Hunter believes in this more than Vince McMahon himself.
