    Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan, at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans

    The show features Triple H facing Daniel Bryan for the right to join the threeway battle with Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, The Undertaker placing his undefeated WrestleMania streak on the line against Brock Lesnar, John Cena fighting for his legacy against Bray Wyatt, The Shield versus Kane and New Age Outlaws, a Fatal Fourway to decide the tag team championship, a 30 man, over-the-top rope battle royal in honor of Andre the Giant and AJ Lee defending her Divas championship against 13 other women.

    Ever since SummerSlam, Triple H, his wife Stephanie McMahon and his various allies in The Authority have confounded Daniel Bryan’s attempts to climb the WWE mountain because they say he is a B+ player…and decidedly not best for business. It took utilizing his fans and almost taking Raw off the air, but The Beard finally has Hunter’s attention. Though he paid for it with a brutal beating at the hands of The Game, Bryan has a shot a revenge at WrestleMania when he faces Haitch, with a chance to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line.

    The man who has held the WWE title since SummerSlam (and who unified that belt with the WHC when he defeated John Cena at TLC), Randy Orton, and the 2014 Royal Rumble winner, Batista, were none too pleased with the Chief Operating Officer’s decision regarding Bryan. Having had enough of their complaining, The King of Kings decided that not only would he defeat the bearded upstart, but he’d end the whining of his former Evolution followers by entering the triple threat himself and claiming the titles.

    Stephanie introduced Triple H and Shawn Michaels as the founding fathers of Degeneration X. The duo came out in DX attire, and threw glow sticks into the crowd. Hunter and Shawn did some schtick. Steph interrupted and said they are awesome at having fun, which is what the show “WWE Countdown” is all about.

     They did the “Let’s Get Ready To Suck It” routine with Stephanie and more schtick. “This is the first time I’ve done it with a woman,” Hunter said. Instead of “Suck It” they said “WWE Countdown” and then “Watch It.” A video hyped the countdown show.

     Triple H and Shawn come out with their DX gear, DX theme and glowsticks. They do some comedy and Triple H talks Shawn into not taking his pants off. Stephanie interrupts and announces WWE Countdown, a new one-hour series that lets fans rank and discuss a variety of topics. Triple H asks her if that’s how she’s going to announce it? She tells them to do better.

     They joke with her and have her assume the position to do the standard DX intro for the Countdown show. Triple H jokes this is the first time he’s “done it” with a woman. Stephanie apologizes and says this is very embarrassing. Triple H says let’s get ready for WWE Countdown and if you’re not down with that, watch this. We get a preview for the Countdown show. The show will count down things like best catchphrase, craziest villain and more. Shawn says he would have stayed on the couch if he had something like the Network when he was a kid. More comedy from the three.

    Stephanie talks about Vince becoming a permanent character on TV many years ago. She says behind the scenes, Vince was fighting for his company. She plugs the Monday Night War. Triple H says “Wars” and HBK and Stephanie cut him off, saying there has only been one war. Sounds like a jab at TNA. Monday Night War: RAW vs. Nitro is another new show for the Network. Lots of comedy here. Triple H talks about how crazy the WCW vs. WWE days were. He says it made for some epic TV and we get a preview for the show.
