Triple H recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show to discuss WrestleMania, and after being asked whether fans are in store for some big surprises at the Show of Shows, The Game pointed to host Rob Gronkowski getting up to some memorable antics (which, hopefully, won't be as cringe-worthy as what we saw on SmackDown).
"People have said ‘what are your plans for Gronk?’ I said we don’t have plans for Gronk, Gronk has plans for us," he explained. "I think he’s going to do some really cool stuff that people will be shocked that he actually does. I think that the event itself will be spectacular while obviously not in a stadium with 70-80,000 people."
Triple H was also asked about the look of the show, and it definitely sounds like the WWE Performance Center will be quite a bit more elaborate. "It looks spectacular," Triple H promised. "The look and the feel will be phenomenal. I think that talent really stepped up to bring the energy and the excitement knowing how important this was. And there’s a lot of things things that will take place, both live and taped that will be taking place from alternative locations."
"Sometimes I think these moments and times are things that allow you to think outside the box and do things that you wouldn’t necessarily have the ability to do. If WrestleMania was just WrestleMania in a stadium, we would be approaching it like we always do. We’re approaching this differently."
"From day one, when we thought we were gonna do this, we thought how can we make it different and unique and how can we capitalize on the situation that we’re in. I think we’ve done that. I think there will be some things on there that might change the way we do business going forward even after this," he concluded.
WrestleMania is set to take place over two nights, and it's clearly going to be a much different show to what we've grown used to seeing from the Showcase of the Immortals. With any luck, WWE will be able to pull it off and deliver something truly special. We'll have to wait and see.
