<p>Triple H&#8217;s 25th Anniversary Celebration saw Shawn Michaels join him in the ring as they went over Triple H&#8217;s several moments in WWE. The segment essentially turned into a roast of The Game, as Michaels brought up his infamous segments and his several losses at WrestleMania. More comedy followed with Triple H video calling Ric Flair, Stephanie McMahon, and Road Dogg.</p>



<p>The last part saw Vince McMahon have some fun at Triple H&#8217;s expense and ordered the lights to go down with HHH and Michaels standing in the ring.</p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE SmackDown Takeaways</strong></h2>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Banks Continues to Lose</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/HL3yjk1.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Sasha Banks has often been at the receiving end of some of the most perplexing moments in WWE history. Banks suffered yet another loss this week after she was pinned by Lacey Evans, losing an opportunity to compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match. </p>



<p>WWE is quite clearly building up to Banks and Bayley facing each other down the line, but it is coming at the cost of Banks taking unnecessary pinfalls every week. WWE couldn&#8217;t be more obvious with the breakup and are probably waiting for the PPV to officially start the rivalry. </p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. The Roast of Roasts</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/W7f95MV.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Triple H is one hell of a company man and continued to prove his worth this week, after taking 20+ minutes of straight-up insults from everyone involved, even the production crew at ringside. His camaraderie with Shawn Michaels will never get old, and Vince McMahon himself broke the fourth wall and teased him about some of the infamous segments like Katie Vick and Bayley&#8217;s This is Your Life from 2017.</p>



<p>Triple H&#8217;s in-ring career hasn&#8217;t officially ended, and the Game could be on for one final match soon, and WWE will definitely choose some major name to end his career.</p>
