How fitting that it’s St. Patrick’s Day, because after the events of last week’s Raw, Triple H is seeing green. And not the DX neon green, either. The angry, sick-to-your-stomach kind of green after you are forcibly coerced into accepting a WrestleMania match you didn’t want. However, given that he’s set to face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania with a potential spot for Bryan in the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at stake, The King of Kings was in no mood for insubordination of any kind.
Imagine his frustration, then, when both WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and No. 1 contender Batista appeared to voice their frustrations, instigating a shouting match that led to The Game making one final proclamation to his protégés: If he defeats Bryan at WrestleMania, it’ll be the COO himself who joins the Title Match as the third participant. While both champion and challenger were less than pleased, it was Orton who struck first, dropping Batista with an RKO as The Game departed.

bray wyatt interrupted cena

Turns out there is something that puts the mighty John Cena on edge, and that something is Bray Wyatt. With The Eater of Worlds set as his WrestleMania opponent, Cena came clean to the WWE Universe that Wyatt’s nihilistic rage makes him uneasy in a way Triple H and The Rock never did. But even as Cena cowed to persevere against Wyatt at The Show of Shows, the man himself appeared on the TitanTron and vowed to expose the Cenation leader for the beast he believes him to be … even if it means Wyatt has to sacrifice himself to do so.

Twice was the charm for John Cena when he repeated his win over Luke Harper of The Wyatt Family on Raw … though it’s safe to say that Bray Wyatt and his acolytes got the final laugh against the Cenation leader when all was said and done. Wyatt’s lieutenant was methodical in his early dissection of the 14-time World Champion, who has been more or less haunted by Bray’s taunts leading up to WrestleMania.
Wyatt’s presence at ringside left Cena a walking head case, and Harper took advantage. The monstrous Harper maintained his lead, keeping Cena at bay until a tremendous clothesline put the big man on his back. Before Cena could execute the Attitude Adjustment, though, the lights cut out and The Wyatts stormed the ring, stringing Cena up in the ropes and shoving a sheep mask – Cena’s “true face” – over his head. The disqualification win was almost beside the point: Cena walked out the victor, but it’s hard to say he won.

Give Paul Heyman credit: When The Undertaker isn’t in the building, the advocate for The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar can talk a pretty good game. Without The Phenom himself looming in the ring, the mad scientist had all the room he needed to prophecy the downfall of The Undertaker’s fabled Streak at Lesnar’s hands, using Lesnar’s record against The Deadman’s previous WrestleMania opponents as evidence. “I know it’s an uncomfortable thought,” said Heyman, “But on April 6, The Undertaker and The Undertaker’s Streak will rest in peace.”
bryan and triple h met in a summit

Before Daniel Bryan and Triple H go to battle on The Grandest Stage of Them All, The King of Kings deigned to give his self-appointed foe a man-to-man summit in the ring wherein The Game insisted that everything he’d done up to this point was strictly business, nothing personal, no hard feelings. But what came next certainly blurred that line.
The COO, seemingly under the guise of an olive branch, commended the “Yes!” Man’s resilience and sportsmanship and admitted he’d earned Triple H’s respect. Stephanie McMahon arrived, security in tow, and got in Triple H’s face while police officers swarmed and handcuffed Bryan in the ring. Of course, the argument was just a diversion, and the officers merely hired goons who left the helpless Bryan to suffer a brutal beating and handcuffed Pedigree from The Cerebral Assassin. But hey: no hard feelings.
