Again, even the most observant fans may have erased memories of seeing Triple H have a word in the ear of one Kevin Owens right before that 'Festival of Friendship' segment last year.

What's that? You had forgotten? Well, that's probably because WWE failed to offer any explanation or insight into what Trips told the man he'd previously helped become Universal Champion in 2016. In fact, the conversation was barely (if at all) used in the build towards a United States Title match between KO and Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 33.

Any hope that Triple H was launching some sort of master plan against an old enemy like Jericho was thrown out the window, and so was the prospect of some new-fangled faction Owens would be the centrepiece of. Instead, it was presumably only shown so WWE could kill a few seconds of TV time in between ad breaks.

This wasn't best for business.
