After all the buildup as a serious match, Triple H made his grand entrance and came out accompanied by a series of terminators as part of a crossover promotion with the upcoming Terminator movie. Maybe it was the fact that it was broad daylight instead of nighttime, but the entire entrance just fell flat. The result was Sting standing there staring at Triple H as he rose from underneath the stage more confused than afraid. Compare Triple Hs entrance with Rusev riding a Russian tank into battle. The entire thing was a forced crossover promotion that evoked memories of Robocop saving Sting in WCW. And that is not a good thing.
