5 times Triple H lost clean in a big match

#4 John Cena - Wrestlemania 22

John Cena would beat HHH clean at Wrestlemania 22

Third straight Wrestlemania, third straight main event involving Triple H. (Can’t blame CM Punk for quitting the WWE for never getting the chance to main event a single Wrestlemania then). The only difference was that the Game went in to this title match as the challenger for John Cena’s WWE Championship.

The angle had been built to perfection over the preceeding few weeks with emphasis being placed on how Triple H, with his ten title reigns would be too big a mountain for Cena to climb. It served its purpose of giving legitimacy to Cena as the next face of the company – provided he gave the Game his third straight defeat at the Show of Shows.

There was genuine buzz about the match with a strong possibility that the Game could reclaim the title, given that he had just returned from a period away from the ring and looked better than ever. But in the end, the simple logic of building up a new star won through and the WWE Creative decided to put Cena over at the expense of the Game.

The match that had Cena making his entrance in a 40’s Chicago era convertible saw Triple H finding himself once again tapping out at Wreslte mania. Cena would counter the Pedigree in to an STF to retain the title and establish himself as the true main event player of the WWE for the next decade.

Hunter would lose his customary rematch at Backlash to Cena and branch out in to a program with Shawn Michaels, conceding another feud.
