WWE makes a call for Wrestlemania or Summerslam main events, much earlier than the show actually emanates. However, not always they have been successful to put things together as there are additional factors that can change things. This is why The Rock vs. Triple H match got canceled for the 32nd edition of the ‘showcase of immortals.’

The two old-school veterans did have a confrontation at Wrestlemania 31. The Rock showed up at the grandest stage of them all to confront Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. It was an entertaining segment that received acclamation from the fans. Plus, for the first time ever, Ronda Rousey stepped into the squared circle for the first time to teach Stephanie a lesson.

Apparently, this segment would have set up a match between Triple H and The Rock, next year at Wrestlemania 32. WWE COO revealed the same ‘WWE Untold’ with Sting on the WWE Network saying that the segment was about to set the initial groundworks for the feud. But it never really happened due to a predictable reason i.e. The Rock’s Hollywood career.

Triple H admitted that Vince McMahon was all in for the next Wrestlemania main event where his Son-in-law takes on The Rock. This could be the biggest draw of the next edition of ‘show of shows’ that took place in a bigger way in 2016. From Dallas, Texas, it witnessed the highest number of attendance of more 1 lakh people.

However, they never got to see The Rock and Triple H squaring off for one last time,
“And then the next one he [Sting] threw out I think was me and so, at that point[it] was me going back to Vince and saying, ‘Do we wanna make this happen?’ And Vince was all for it and we were able to make a deal. Part of the impetus with the way things turned out with the Sting thing is because I was already booked to work with The Rock at the following year’s WrestleMania and we’ll build it for more than a year. That was the intent, belief, everything else.” Triple H continued, “Just as time went on, Rock’s schedule changed later in the year and we weren’t able to do the match for the following year’s WrestleMania one-on-one against The Rock.”
WWE still kept Triple H in the main event scene at Wrestlemania 32 against a new opponent, Roman Reigns. He went on to win the WWE Championship by defeating The Game that started the Roman Empire, officially. As for The Rock, he was in attendance for a promo cum beatdown segment featuring The Wyatt Family rather than competing in a match.
