If Triple H Vs Roman Reigns is remembered at all several years after it bored a record-breaking WWE crowd into submission, it's only for just how drab it was. And nobody wants to rewatch to check,

A textbook overlong Triple H WrestleMania match, this was psychologically sound without ever even threatening to get exciting. The sort of action that was tight to a fault - impossible to feel anything, and even if you could think about it being good, it barely even reached that measured standard. And on the two occasions it raised the guttural, visceral emotional response a pay-per-view headliner is supposed to summon, it was almost nothing to do with either Champion or Challenger.

Stephanie McMahon was exceptional delivering a self-own of a monologue to herald 'The Game's arrival. It was spectacular, and almost maddening that it wasn't for a wrestler, feud or match that stood a chance of being any good. Shortly before the finisher spam conclusion, McMahon ate a spear that generated a full-throated roar from the 100,000 inside AT&T stadiums. The Pedigrees and Superman Punches that followed never stood a chance of reaching that peak.
