Triple H vs. Randy Orton: WrestleMania XXV

This wasn’t just a WWE Championship match. It was the final chapter of one of the most personal rivalries of 2009. Randy Orton had spent months targeting Triple H and his family, taking out Vince and Shane McMahon and attacking Stephanie. Triple H entered WrestleMania XXV with one goal: make Orton pay. (WWE) The match was fought under a brutal stipulation — if Triple H was counted out or disqualified, he would lose the WWE Championship. Both men threw everything at each other. RKO. Pedigree. Outside-the-ring punishment. Orton even took out the referee and reached for Triple H’s signature sledgehammer. But Triple H saw it coming. He stopped Orton with a punt, took the sledgehammer for himself, and then delivered the Pedigree to retain the WWE Championship. (WWE) Orton wanted to end Triple H’s reign. Triple H wanted revenge. In the end, The Game got both. 🔥
