Summary

Triple H had high praise for Roman Reigns and CM Punk after their WrestleMania 42 night two main event, calling the match one of the greatest he has ever seen.

The bout closed the show with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at stake, and it ended with Reigns leaving as champion for the first time in two years. The reaction came after their WrestleMania 42 Sunday main event, which WWE positioned as the biggest match on the second night of the event.

Quote from Triple H

Speaking on SportsCenter's post-show coverage after night two, Triple H said:

"Just epic. You can see the passion and the pride of two guys that absolutely, to the very core of their soul, believe that they are the best in the world, and they're out there to prove it to each other. They're out there to prove it to the 55,000 plus fans that were here tonight. Everything about them screamed, 'I have to show I am the best', and you see it all the way down to the end, knock down, drag out, fight, that just someone won't give. You finally get to the end of it, no one really loses. But Roman Reigns comes out the winner. Roman Reigns, the new World Heavyweight Champion, to me, one of the greatest matches I've ever seen, doesn't get bigger."

What Roman Reigns' win means after WrestleMania 42

Reigns leaving WrestleMania 42 with the World Heavyweight Championship immediately reshapes WWE's top end on the Raw side. Triple H framing the match in those terms adds even more weight to Reigns' title win, and it also keeps Punk tied closely to the main event picture even in defeat.

That matters because WWE can now move in two clear directions from the same result. Reigns has fresh momentum as champion, while Punk remains protected by the way the match was publicly talked about afterward, much like in Reigns' own post-show praise for Punk.
