3. Is This Going Anywhere?

Last week on Raw, we saw Seth Rollins and Triple H have their much-anticipated confrontation – as much as one can anticipate a confrontation between an executive and a guy on crutches.

This week, we took a closer look at Rollins’ aggressive rehab of his knee injury, and then Michael Cole interviewed Triple H, who implored Rollins to steer clear of WrestleMania next month. Man, if you really wanted to strongly sell a confrontation at the biggest show of the year, you’d have one guy telling him not to show up while the other struggles to walk.

To be fair, this could have been a marquee matchup at Mania before Rollins got hurt. But now, you have to wonder whether this is leading anywhere. Is Rollins going to be capable of doing more than hobbling down to ringside and staring angrily at Triple H? And how much time will they spend glaring at each other while half the roster does nothing in the back?

This is a tough blow for this budding rivalry, but forcing a confrontation like this at Mania feels more and more like fitting a square peg through a round hole.
