Ranking Every Randy Orton WrestleMania Match - From Worst To Best

12. Triple H Vs. Randy Orton (WrestleMania XXV)

Main event matches don’t get much bigger than Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania. Factor in an awesome build that saw Triple H break into Orton’s home, before Orton retaliated by kissing Triple H’s unconscious wife, and the hype could hardly have been greater for this one.

Unfortunately, the eventual match fell totally flat.

Minutes before the bell rang, a late stipulation was added to the mix, ruling that Triple H would lose his title if he ended up getting disqualified. To live up to that pre-match build, though, the match really needed a no-DQ stipulation of some sort.

Instead, a lacklustre match began in unusual fashion, with both men hitting their finishers early on, and the action just never took off from there.

Admittedly it wasn’t helped by the fact that earlier in the evening, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had already stolen the show with arguably the greatest match in WrestleMania history, but either way, given all the promise heading into this match, this one failed to deliver in a big way.
