Triple H vs. Kurt Angle
Y2J joins commentary, as the main event is next. Jericho mocks Austin, “Hey JR, Jericho beat Austin — WHAT — Jericho beat Austin — WHAT –”… he says, with a arrogant grin on his face. Triple H’s music hits, to a great reaction by the Chicago crowd. The match kicks off quickly, as Triple H strikes the first punch on the outside of the ring. Jericho keeps reminding us, he’s “been ready for WrestleMania for the last three months”, no matter who is opponent is.
During the early stages of the match, Angle hits a gorgeous suplex. Towards the end of the match, Kurt is seen talking ‘trash’ to Jericho. The ref stands in the way of Y2J, and Angle takes one of his titles and strikes Triple H, just as the referee’s back is turned. Angle pushes Triple H’s senseless body, and makes the cover. Angle holds the cover for three, but the ref is still arguing with Jericho. He quickly runs back into the ring, and Triple H kicks out at two and a half. Angle hits three perfect suplexes in a row, without unlocking his arms. Angle locks in the ‘angle lock’, but Triple just reaches the rope. Triple H sets up for a ‘pedigree’, Angle reverses into the ‘angle lock’, which is then reversed. Triple H then hits a final ‘pedigree’, to pick up the three count.
After long anticipation, and a gruelling match, you finally witness Triple H get the win over Angle. RAW ends with Jericho standing on the commentary team table, two titles in hand; Triple H staring back, in the ring.
