With the certainty of no return for the 'American Bad Ass' persona (more on that later), Triple H was free to steal the motorbike to thankfully transport himself down the mammoth 80-yard entrance ramp.

It was a typically audacious arrival from 'The Game', as he seems to become more knowing of the sheer farce fans expect from his entrance, especially as a heel.

And while his match with Seth Rollins under-delivered slightly on weighty expectations, the story was clear, concise and had a fabulously satisfying conclusion.

Stephanie McMahon plunging through a table shortly before Rollins smashed Hunter with a single Pedigree was an 'Unsanctioned Match' version of a clean finish for the conquering hero.

It was sweet on two counts. The pair had masterfully managed to make 75,000 people and millions watching at home completely forget the table was even there. Planting a seed for later (as the NXT tag teams did during HHH's pet project on Saturday night), Rollins set the wood up early but it went unemployed and largely ignored for the bulk of the match.

Furthermore, Rollins hit his finisher, and amazingly, it finished his opponent. It seems rather appropriate that Triple H would make sure his move got proper protection, but in a company where around three is usually the minimum required to knock off a 'proper' opponent, this was a refreshing change.
