Triple H is a revered and master negotiator. He helped make peace with Ultimate Warrior and WWE of all people. He brokered peace with WWE and Bruno Sammartino, which seemed impossible. But some wounds can just never be healed. IE I can't see peace ever being made with Owen Hart's family or Miss Elizabeth.
Sadly, the cracks in WWE's creative are really starting to show in the build to WrestleMania. They've got too many guys than they know what to do with, too many guys who have been working hard and want their shot, and not enough slots to service them all.
Uso vs. Gunther has completely run out of steam, and they haven't been treating him like a top guy. Shouldn't Gunther have come out and tried to like hospitalize Jimmy Uso to play mind games with Jey?
Where are they going with this Grand Americano business? I don't get it.
Frankly, I don't really care about CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns. A Triple Threat makes no sense to me. It seems pointless. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk could've been huge and had a lot of intrigue. Instead, it's a dumb Triple Threat. Now it feels like WrestleMania is going to be Cena vs. Cody and a bunch of multi-person clusterfrells.
I think the creative is subjective, I know you badly want Punk vs Roman but they aren't there yet and the intertwining narrative between them and Seth absolutely makes sense, and now they've teased a stipulation that will further the storyline. I think this match, the Women's World title match and Cena vs Cody are all building fine. Then there's Orton vs Owens, Drew vs Priest, Jade vs Naomi and AJ Styles vs Logan Paul are all building logically, whether you like those match-ups is a different thing altogether.
The Gunther vs Jey angle feels a bit like Triple H felt he had to acknowledge how over the Yeet thing is but like LA Knight before him doesn't really see him as a top guy, but what he should have done was make Gunther's attacks more varied and in some cases more brutal, instead of just running in and putting him in a sleeperhold every week.
Where I think they are objectively dropping the ball with the rest of the titles, no clear direction for any of them and a seeming path to a bunch of multi-person matches just to get people on the card. Liv Morgan has been one of the top stars in the company for the last year but there's no clear team to face her and Raquel, and now it might become Bayley and Lyra as challengers which means no women's IC title match and Roxanne not even on the card after her great performances in the Rumble and Elimination Chamber. With the men's IC title they had a lay-up with Bron vs AJ Styles, 2 Georgia boys from different eras, a legend vs the big new thing, it was simple, but they've filtered in 3 different challengers just to get people on the card. The men's US title should be LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu, they can still get there but you can almost smell the Fatal 4-Way with Strowman and Solo added.
The men's tag division on Smackdown has actually had the effort put into it, the problem is that bar the Street Profits, and to a lesser extent DIY, the teams just aren't getting over. Conversely on the Raw side the War Raiders only appear now and then and aren't really over, and now it seems they're just going to do a match with the New Day based on nothing but the fact the New Day have huge heat, I think they've only won one tag match since the heel turn.
the 2 Intercontinental title matches had awkward moments and look to be leading down an uninspired path.
