5 times WWE got the WrestleMania main event wrong

#2 Triple H (c) vs Randy Orton for the WWE Title (WrestleMania 25)

Another Triple H ego trip that brought Wrestlemania down

Randy Orton was enjoying his best run as the sadistic 'Viper' in the WWE in late 2008. His attacks on the McMahon family all but confirmed that he was on course to a clash with Triple H at WrestleMania.

Everyone was expecting a brutal no disqualification match between the two at WrestleMania. However, WWE once again dropped a bomb on the match, adding a stipulation where Triple H would lose the title if he is disqualified. On the other hand, WWE was finally planning a showdown between two legends.

Slotted at 6th on the main card, The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels was a contest filled with emotion and pride. For over 30 minutes, the two legends treated the fans with a clinical masterpiece full of close calls and finishing moves and memorable moments.

So engrossed was the crowd in Houston into the match that they just started chanting 'This is Awesome' just for the match. The fans were so drained out after the match that subsequent matches fell victim to the decreased fan involvement.

The main event was now just another match on the long show. All the exceptional build-up went into a pile of waste as Triple H and Orton wrestled a match with 0% brutality. Although WWE corrected its mistake by having 'Taker' and Michaels main event the subsequent WrestleMania, a missed opportunity in 2009 led to one of the most disappointing main events in WWE history.
