For the third week in a row, Paul Levesque made sure to stick his nose into the middle of the hottest feud heading into WrestleMania 42… no, not Cody Rhodes versus Pat Mc… er, Randy Orton. Triple H wouldn’t be seen within two nautical miles of that trainwreck.

No, Levesque was front and center during this week’s contract signing redo between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. And what unique contribution did WWE’s chief content officer bring to this white-hot rivalry to help super-charge the company’s hottest program?

A couple of handshakes. That’s it.

When Triple H raced out to break up the fight between Femi and Lesnar a couple of weeks ago, it was praised here for being a rare occasion when the Game inserted himself into a feud, presumably because of how volatile the situation was.

But then he came back the following week. And there he was again on Monday night, doing nothing except standing there alongside Raw GM Adam Pearce, who did all the heavy lifting during each contract signing. Still, Levesque made sure he was on camera shaking Oba’s hand, because when WWE fans think about the most positive part of 'Mania, they need to think of Triple H.
