News on WM 32 Main Event

[CMPUNKFAN]

According to PWtorch the word going out is that HHH wants ShaneVsTaker to go on last as the true main event closing Wrestlemania 32

However it's Vince that wants HHH and Reigns to close the show for the WWE championship. HHH isn't sold on his main event because the original plans for Reigns isn't working and the story isn't progressing or being told how they wanted it to, he now believes it's a weaker story compared Takers career and Raw power on the line.

They've been getting into heated arguments backstage and it's worrying some people who worry for Vince's health that this mania has been the most stressful for him in recent years.

You know the story sucks when even Triple H can admit it.

Maybe Triple H isn't the savior we think he is, but I have no doubt he would be better for the company at this point than Vince. I can't wait for the day (assuming death/illness isn't the cause) when Vince stops booking Raw/WWE.

If Triple H is trying to give up a main event spot, you know something is up.

Triple H deserves 5+ rep points and a "this nigga knows" comment tbh

This sounds phony to me. Just one of those, "there's conflict in the WWE creative direction leading into WrestleMania" annual stories.

I'm in the camp that the title match should always be last. That includes this situation, even if the match is going to suck. They shouldn't have backed themselves into this corner to begin with. The championship should always be the most important match on the card.

Only way Shane-Taker is last is if there is a big swerve or angle planned either at the end of the match - caught some highlights of RAW, with the segment between Taker-Shane-Vince and am predicting Taker turns and joins Shane and maybe a returning Cena joins the Authority? Just don't see how Shane can compete being out for so long in-ring in a match that will be physical but doesn't seem in bad shape to be fair.

Sounds phony to me too. If only because I have no faith in Triple H to put the good of the show before himself.

People want to have big hopes for Triple H due to how crazy and terrible Vince McMahon's decision making has become. And to be honest, I think he's going to be a big step up. NXT has given us some proof of that. Triple H might indeed be the leader that WWE needs going forwards.

But if he has a flaw - and he does - it's that he almost never puts the show before himself. Last year he was able to justify beating Sting and harming a potential future draw for the company. He beat Brock Lesnar a couple of years previously, when Brock was supposed to be the big draw going forwards. He derailed Punk when he looked like becoming the biggest star in wrestling, he derailed Orton when he looked like becoming the biggest star in wrestling on two separate occasions. Triple H is only good at seeing the big picture if he's got some distance from it. When he's in the mix as a character, he'll always think of himself first.

Back at Wrestlemania 18 he insisted on going on last, even against the clearly bigger draw of Rock vs Hogan. So if he's in the title match at Wrestlemania, there's no way he's not going to suggest that he shouldn't be in the main event.

And even if he wasn't someone who tended to put his ego above the rest of the show, Triple H is also much more of a wrestling traditionalist than Vince. Even if it wasn't him in the title match, he'd be more likely to advocate for the championship match going on last. So it seems very out of character for him to be arguing otherwise.
