Triple H is in the ring, and to say he isn’t pleased would be an understandable. Triple H claims that everything that happened is the fault of the fans.

Orton turns to Batista and says that no one cared when he left and they cared even less when he returned. The only reason Bryan has been able to get in their match is because Batista did not live up to his own hype. If he did then none of this would be occurring. Batista responds that Orton sucks and is only a paper champion. Batista says that Orton knows he is going to lose his Titles. Both men begin to shove and bicker. Triple H leaves the ring after trying to break them up. Batista asks where Triple H is going.
Triple H responds that he is sick of people like Daniel Bryan. He is sick of the fans cheering for him. Triple H also says that he is sick of Hollywood stars coming back and thinking they can tell Triple H what to do. Triple H is standing on the ropes, face red as a skittle. He is also sick of technically skilled guys who are messed up in the head and need him to raise their hands for every victory. Triple H has finally had enough. He says that Vince McMahon was right. The only person that you can trust in this business is yourself. HHH dictates that the Wrestlemania main event will be a Triple Threat. Bryan won’t be in it because he won’t be able to win his match. It will be Triple H going on to face Batista and Orton in the Wrestlemania XXX main event!
Triple H walks away. Randy Orton hits an RKO on Batista for good measure.
