3. Needs More Rollins/Triple H

You would think that a 15-minute contract signing between Triple H and Seth Rollins and a recap (or two) of the signing later in the show would be enough to highlight their WrestleMania match, but you would be wrong.

Later in the program, we had to endure a four-minute video package tracing the entire history of Triple H’s relationship with Rollins, leading up to Monday’s encounter and their upcoming Mania bout. Because if you missed the lengthy signing segment earlier, you needed to see this package to fully appreciate how epic this rivalry really is.

Shave off that video package and one of the recaps and we could have gotten a decent cruiserweight match instead. It’s not like someone was suddenly won over by the video and now views Triple H/Rollins as the main event of WrestleMania.
