Triple H's motorbike entrance was typically audacious even if his match with Seth Rollins took a while to catch up with the lofty expectations. Thankfully, unlike some of the long, lumbering affairs he'd been guilty of at previous 'Show Of Shows', this story was clear, concise and had a fabulously satisfying conclusion.

Stephanie McMahon plunging through a table shortly before Rollins pinned Hunter with a single Pedigree was the 'Unsanctioned Match' version of a clean finish for the conquering hero. The pair masterfully managed to make 75,000 people and millions watching at home completely forget the table was even there - Rollins set the it up early, but the wood went unemployed for the bulk of the match.

It was appropriate that Triple H made sure his move got proper protection but no instant kickout ahead of a second finisher sequence made for a refreshing change.
