WWE Greatest Royal Rumble 2018: 5 potential finishes for Triple H vs. John Cena

We're not even a month removed from WrestleMania, and there's already another stadium show to be excited about. Thanks to a potential multi-million dollar business deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, WWE will host the Greatest Royal Rumble at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, which has a capacity of over 60,000.

Apart from the first-ever 50-man Royal Rumble, the card also boasts a number of marquee matches, including a Universal title bout between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns and a clash between John Cena and Triple H.

In this article, we'll take a look at 5 potential finishes to the match between the man once called the Prototype and The King of Kings.

#1 John Cena wins clean

This is probably the most likely outcome as Cena suffered a crushing defeat at WrestleMania and needs a big win to get back on track. The crowd in Jeddah will also be full of casual fans looking forward to a win for the Massachusetts native.

Even though he's not going to be on television for a few months, Cena is still WWE's biggest drawing card and handing him two high-profile losses in a row wouldn't be the smartest thing to do, especially against someone like Triple H who can afford to take a loss. Cena winning with the STF will probably be the best course of action.

#2 Triple H wins clean

The intelligent booking decision would be to put Cena over in this match. However, the person in charge of the Greatest Royal Rumble is Vince McMahon, who just loves to give his son-in-law, Triple H, inexplicable victories.

After all, The Game holds WrestleMania victories over Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton which proved to be significant setbacks for both the OVW products.

#3 The Undertaker interferes

Is an Undertaker vs. John Cena rematch on the cards?

At WrestleMania 34, The Undertaker squashed Cena in 2 minutes and 45 seconds to put the Massachusetts native in his place. Knowing WWE, this feud is probably far from over, and these 2 legends are likely to face each other again.

If The Deadman were to interfere in this match and brutally attack Cena, WWE could effectively write the 16-time World Champion off television and set-up a blockbuster Summerslam match simultaneously.

#4 Triple H wins with a sledgehammer shot

Will Triple H resort to his trusted weapon?

If Vince McMahon feels the urge to protect both performers, he could always have Triple H win through nefarious means. Since Cena is the babyface, he'll have The Game in a precarious position at some point in the match.

This could perfectly set the stage for Triple H to turn the clock back to the mid-2000s and nail the 41-year-old with a sledgehammer after distracting the referee. It usually isn't ideal to have a marquee match on a big show end with a dirty finish, but the sledgehammer spot is synonymous with Triple H and is certain to get a reaction from the audience.

#5 Triple H forms the new Evolution

Over the last couple of years, there have been rum Triple H forming a new Evolution. After all, the original iteration of the stable was wildly successful, resulting in the creation of two future Hall of Famers in Batista and Randy Orton.

With the WWE roster filled with more talent than any point since the fall of WCW, there is no better time to form a new Evolution. Wouldn't you be excited to see a stable of young studs with Triple H as their mentor?

The three men we'd pick to join The Cerebral Assasin and form Evolution 2.0 would be Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens and Ricochet.
