Reaction:
Triple H has still got it. He is an incredible heel when given enough time. With Stephanie McMahon helping him backstage and on the microphone, this is excellent. The Cerebral Assassin strikes and the end was not dragged on too long, which is something that worried me. The match with Bryan and Orton was excellent, but it was all about Triple H setting up Bryan. Being handcuffed always makes the attack much more demonic. Triple H and Daniel Bryan have had eight months to build this. It may have been on accident, but this seems to be the main event storyline heading into WrestleMania. As for Orton and Batista, it is all about taking a backseat, slightly, for this event.
WWE Raw Score: 8/10
