6 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 14th)
6. Pedigree > Shotgun Blast
Thats the only possible explanation for Triple H absorbing multiple high-impact moves (Fameasser, superkick, jumping DDT) and kicking out, only to hit one Pedigree for the win over Dolph Ziggler.
We know that Triple Hs finishing move is one of the most well-protected maneuvers in WWE its rare that anyone kicks out of it. But when you havent really been on offense for several minutes and have taken a series of hard-hitting moves and near-falls, Triple Hs one move ending is jarring.
It wasnt nearly as bad as WrestleMania XIX with Booker T, but it certainly came out of nowhere. The ending also mirrored the finish against Dean Ambrose at Roadblock: the opponent gets hurt on the outside, barely beats the count back in and lands in the Pedigree seconds later. Boom. Match over.
