It says a lot about the way WWE has changed since that WrestleMania 22's headliner in 2006 is now little more than a glorified exhibition acting as a bonus attraction on a first-ever, heavily-hyped show like the Greatest Royal Rumble.

John Cena and Triple H were headlining WWE events together back then. Today, both are part-time players used to lure older fans in. There's no denying their box office appeal, and it is wise of WWE to use their combined star power to make the Saudi bow feel special.

It's also a match Cena has to win.

Cena was annihilated in less than three minutes by The Undertaker at WrestleMania. WWE will be relying on his record-breaking 17th World Title win to pin down a pay-per-view later this year, so they must keep that in mind here. What would it really achieve if Triple H beat him, other than making John look like a loser?
