5. Triple H
Though this rivalry lasted only one match, it opened up a host of exciting propositions for a fan. Just when Hunter was harping about how he put Roman out of action and how he uses fear to keep his place, out of nowhere comes the leader of the Ambrose Asylum. He limps to the ring after the beating he took from Lesnar in the parking lot and challenges Triple H for the Title at Roadblock. The audacity of Ambrose showed by coming out and challenging The Game is a great example of why fans cheer him more than Reigns.
People knew this was only a filler feud as Reigns needed time off to look after a legitimate injury he was carrying. But, just the thought of Ambrose winning and the multitude of possibilities it came along with had the WWE Universe salivating over the clash. Though the Creative had just two weeks to build a feud, they did an appreciable job in keeping it even stevens in the weeks prior to their clash.
The match, despite a predictable outcome, presented the fans with some delectable action. Be it the atypical attack of Ambrose on Triple H’s left leg or the moment when Ambrose hits the Dirty Deeds and thought he had won, only to be told by the referee that he had his feet under the rope or the quick roll by Hunter to steal the match or the suicide dive of Ambrose, all of these spots compelled the audience to chant “This is Awesome”.
Although Ambrose lost the match eventually, but, it helped establish that he can compete with Lesnar at “Grandest stage of them all” if he can give a veteran like Triple H a run for his money.
