Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE
The final RAW of 2003, saw longtime friends and rivals, Shawn Michaels and Triple H, square off in a classic match that rekindled the rivalry into a new year. Shawn Michaels appeared to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but both his and Triple H’s shoulders were down, so the match was ruled a draw and the champ retained his title.
The follow-up match, a Last Man Standing at Royal Rumble, also ended in a draw but was not that good of a match. It's too bad that the quality of their encounter on RAW didn’t translate to what they did on pay-per-view a few weeks later.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
