10 Things That Did Not Go The Way Triple H Wanted

The idea of two of the most popular units the WWE machine had ever forged finally coming to blows, though admittedly well past their sell-by dates, was harmless enough in theory.

But the fact it would be going down at the highly scrutinised 2018 Crown Jewel Saudi Arabia event already did little favours for the over-the-hill D-Generation X and Brothers of Destruction members coming into their long-awaited main event showing. And the chaos that ensued from the second the bell rang only hammered home the fact that this bout and the night itself was an all-round bad idea from the get-go.

With Trips tearing his pec early on, a recently un-retired Shawn Michaels was forced to carry much of the contest, resulting in The Game's best mate very nearly breaking his neck with a botched moonsault.

And more laughable to lamentable developments, from Kane's mask dropping off to one of the worst Pedigrees ever executed by The Cerebral Assassin, would all help cement this entire debacle as a chapter too far for these once-respected factions and one they would all no doubt like to pretend never even happened.
