10 Matches To Draw 100,000 Fans To WrestleMania 32
4. Triple H vs. Kevin Owens
When Roman Reigns defeats Triple H at SummerSlam 2015 to end The Authority's two-year reign of terror (for real this time), the group's newest crown jewel, Kevin Owens, is left high and dry. Rather than look for a way to bring his bosses back into power, the unpredictable superstar goes on a path of destruction, tearing through the WWE roster and claiming the Intercontinental Title. When Owens assaults several ringside workers just for the sake of it, though, he's stripped of the title by Vince McMahon himself. That doesn't go well, and McMahon is left a beaten mess. Weeks later, Owens is participating in the Royal Rumble match and delivering a dominant performance, when the buzzer rings and a returning Triple H enters the ring! A good guy once more, "The Game" eliminates Owens from the match in the name of his father-in-law. His problems with his former charge are only beginning, though. Owens was dangerous when he was reckless and wild, but he's even worse when focused on Triple H. He threatens "The Game" and his family, demanding HHH face him one on one. Returning the hate that consumes Owens, Triple H is all too willing to step into the ring for a bout with the man he believes he made. Never before has teacher versus student been so hateful.
