3 More Ups And 3 More Downs From WWE WrestleMania XXXIII
1. Where’s The Destroyer?
Of all the wrestlers who made an appearance during WrestleMania XXXIII (or the kickoff show), there was one glaring omission:
Samoa Joe.
Triple H’s hand-picked destroyer injured Seth Rollins in his first night and has been doing the Game’s bidding ever since. Yet, when he could have used him the most, Joe was nowhere to be found. Triple H was battling Seth Rollins to try to put him out of wrestling for good, and instead of calling on his secret weapon to annihilate Rollins, he lost one-on-one.
It was the sort of thing that could have played out very differently. Samoa Joe tries to help Hunter, but someone – maybe Sami Zayn or a returning Finn Balor – runs interference and allows Rollins to overcome the odds and win. Instead, Joe’s absence was a pretty noticeable thing.
