When we talked about WrestleMania having the wrong main event, there are few better examples than the 25th edition of The Grandest Stage of Them All. Given that it was such a special occasion, many felt that WWE would have a better main event planned.

There were two World Title matches at WrestleMania 25 - one was a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Title between Edge, John Cena and The Big Show, while the WWE Title match was between Triple H and Edge.

The feud with the most heat was Triple H vs. Randy Orton - as it was made as personal as possible heading into WrestleMania 25. It was assigned as the main event, which seemed to be the incorrect decision.

What made it worse was the stipulation. If Triple H was disqualified, the WWE Title would change hands anyway. Triple H won in a lackluster match, while Randy Orton seemed to lose all the heat and momentum that he had as a heel.

Randy Orton was at his ruthless best in early 2009, but it didn't pan out as it should have.
