Triple H’s win in 2016 is the final example on our list of a superstars Rumble Win just not being as good the second time around. Triple H won his first Rumble in 2002 as part of an ongoing process of turning him into a legitimate main event talent, however, his Rumble win this past year in 2016 was solely for storyline purposes. For whatever reason, WWE Creative was adamant this past year that the main event at WrestleMania should be Triple H vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Title. However, hoping to avoid negative fan feedback on back-to-back Rumble wins for Reigns, WWE decided to let a 46-year-old Triple H win the Rumble. To make matters worse, the title itself was also on the line in the Royal Rumble.
