10 Huge Mistakes WWE Has Made Building Up To WrestleMania 32

2. Roman Reigns/Triple H Feud Has No Substance

The feud between Roman Reigns and Triple H has become a cluster of drawn-out repetitiveness since it kicked off in November, with both Reigns and Triple H being written off TV for extended periods of time due to savage beatdowns from the other. When fans asked for Reigns to shut up and fight more often, they didn't mean for Reigns to only shut up and fight.

Aside from the Ambrose-Triple H match mentioned in the previous entry, WWE has failed to deliver in the lead-up. Reigns' hiatus due to essential nasal surgery didn't help, but having the only interactions between The Game and Roman Reigns be back-and-forth beatdowns is a big mistake.

The feeling that Roman Reigns will inevitably win has nothing to do with this rivalry feeling empty; last year's main event between Reigns and Brock Lesnar was much the same in the lead-up, but the feud between the pair at least had substance. The WrestleMania 31 main event was built up through a mixture of both physical and verbal confrontations, unlike this year’s headliner.

As a result of relying on little more than choppy beatings, the marquee match's purpose has been lost. WWE will hopefully revisit the reason behind the feud in the final episode of Raw before WrestleMania 32, but it's too late to force fans into being excited.

Overly-opinionated Australian WWE smark who is definitely not #booty. Slowly angering the IWC one article at a time. We will probably strongly dislike each other - let's be friends! @MattKMarsden
