#2 Triple H defeats Booker T at WrestleMania 19

Triple H put down a string of former WCW stars in 2003, during his time as the top heel on WWE RAW. On the road to WrestleMania 19, Triple H kicked off a feud with Booker T, former WCW Champion. The storyline saw Triple H making fun of Booker T, and going as far as stating that 'people like him don't deserve it'. This enraged the fans to no end, and they were as ready as they had ever been to see the angle culminate with Booker T defeating Triple H to win the top prize.

Triple H should have taken the loss at WWE WrestleMania 19

At WrestleMania, Triple H defeated Booker T to retain his title. The ending to the match was interesting, to say the least, as Triple H hit a Pedigree on Booker T, took his merry time in covering him, and still successfully pinned him to win the match. This match is still dubbed one of the worst burials in WWE history, and Triple H garnered tons of criticism for not taking the loss on that night.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
