Will the HHH/Rollins Unsanctioned Match be similar to HHH/HBK Summerslam '02?

So as we just saw on Raw, HHH challenged Seth to a unsanctioned match at Mania. Seth will most likely accept next week, unless something else happens.

But if this unsanctioned match goes through, do you think it will be similar to HBK Vs HHH at Summerslam 2002?

Could we see lots of weapons like ladders, chairs, tables, etc being used?

I think Seth needs to go over in a big way against HHH.

And it is WrestleMania, so I could see them going all out and letting weapons being involved. Inferences by maybe Joe and Stephanie and Foley as well.

I don't know if a lot of weapons will be used like ladders and such, just because Seth is returning from injury. But I think it will be a good match. The story is there. The hatred is there between the two. Which works for this type of match. Knowing he missed last year, Seth is going to do everything he can to steal the show this year. HHH seems to want this match just as much too. So I'm excited for it.

God, I hope so. That SSlam match is my all-time favorite.

Screw it, just put Rollins/HHH on last and make it like an Empty Arena match with both guys fighting all over the stadium while the WWE staff is just packing up to leave. No refs, no rules and no end until one more simply gets KO'd. At least then, WM would be guaranteed a happy ending.

Considering Seth is just coming off a legit injurty, I don’t see them going THAT far. I expect a knock out brawl with a little interference here and there.

Joe will probably get involved eventually. Maybe Owens as well. Maybe this is how you return Balor. Maybe Ambrose comes in to help his brother. Things like that.

lol no way. A returning HBK vs in his prime HHH wont come close to a somewhat injured seth vs a not in his prime HHH.

He's injured. I still don't think it's gonna be an actual match like people think it is.. note that HHH never said unsanctioned "match".. he said it was an unscantioned "fight". So a short 5 minute segment but not a full length match.

How do I know this? WWE has been known to disappoint the fans. They won't give us a proper conclusion because they hate good writing

I don't think Triple H is losing 2 wrestlemania's in a row anyway.. he's not going to agree to a match with an injured rollins. he's gonna get beat up in a segment to conclude the feud.. this way rollins wins the feud and Triple H doesn't have to lose 2 WM's in a row.

HHH lost WM 20-22 in a row as well as losing to The Undertaker back to back. Its happened before, twice.

I think the whole unsanctioned thing is meant to provide enough smoke and mirrors for Rollins to get through a Wrestlemania match without sacrificing his knee.

I find it funny that there's people that doubt Rollins was injured at all. The injury is clearly on video when Rollins landed awkwardly off the Kokina Clutch from Joe and the verbal exchange between Joe and Rollins in that moment. The only question is the severity, and it appears that Rollins wasn't as injured as first feared, and here we are.

So, we shouldn't expect a huge violent risk taking brawl. More likely to be a bunch of run ins from the likes of Joe, Zayn, and maybe Balor for a "Wrestlemania moment". We'll get the old sledgey out, and probably a few chairs etc.

I could see him bringing the move back one night only. But still, even that might be a stretch. They've basically given the Benoit treatment to that move. Every time they show Rollins winning his first title at WM 31, they always cut away when he hits the move.

If this goes on a few matches before Taker/Reigns, could there be a Shield powerbomb spot?

I know it's overdone lately, but a lot of people only come back to Wrestlemania and they'd love to do a Shield triple threat main event one day.
I could definitely see Ambrose in there because if I had to guess, his match opens the show with Corbin. Don't know about Reigns though. My guess is no because he's going against Taker.

I can see Owens and Joe interfering on HHH's behalf and anyone from Ambrose, Zayn, Jericho, and/or Balor helping Rollins.

I maintain hope it'll at least be a decent streetfight for what it's worth, but Triple H isn't the same now as he was 15 years ago and I love Seth Rollins but he's not Shawn Michaels. It's not going to be on that level, but hopefully it should be fucking good. God knows Rollins can wrestle a good match and Triple H has always been great at beating the fucking tar out of someone in full-on heel mode so there's no reason it can't work.

I can see the ending tho very similar to HBK HHH. Seth wins the match but a roller up or jack knife cover but HHH kayfabes hurts his leg again to write him off tv cause tho I think Seth is good to go I don't think he is 100%

Triple H FAILED last year this year he is gonna do it the RIGHT WAY and just to make it even better it will be a unsanctioned match.
this match kinda fells like "hey guys i apologize to you guys for that bore fest from last year i wont gonna let you down guys this year"
im hyped for it. they fucked up with rollins return but after the last 4-5 weeks they did a great job to rebuild seth.

with y2j vs ko, orton vs wyatt & styles vs shane this is the match im looking forward to it.
Imo rollins gotta need to win this with all the shit he ate in the last 10 months this match could be a pageturner.

Might not be ion that level but still could be a good match. Also weapons should and could be involved as its unsanctioned, meaning all bets are off. Plus with the story in place with both men not liking each other and doing whatever it takes to take the other out why not have weapons involved. This should be a brawl between the two with chairs, and every other weapon involved into the match.
