8 Planned WWE WrestleMania 33 Matches That Fell Apart
2. Triple H Vs. Samoa Joe
Triple H versus Seth Rollins has been on the docket for WrestleMania for a long, long time. Originally, the COO and the crown jewel of his Authority stable were supposed to split apart in time for a match at WrestleMania 32, but Rollins suffered a knee injury in late 2015 that forced him to miss the event.
This past August, Rollins was competing in a match for the Universal Championship when Triple H attacked him, officially kicking off their program. They wouldn't come face to face until just after the Royal Rumble, though, and when they finally did, Samoa Joe attacked Rollins, legitimately injuring his knee.
Would Rollins miss WrestleMania? Would the match be cancelled again? Fortunately for "The Architect," it's turned out that he'll be able to perform. When he looked doubtful for WrestleMania, though, the backup plan would have seen a rift develop between HHH and his new charge, Samoa Joe. They would have ended up facing off at WrestleMania, proving that Triple H should stop forming alliances.
