WrestleMania 39 is the first Mania with Triple H being in charge of main roster creative. There was a lot of talk about which matches are going to main event the show before tonight. There were multiple contenders for the spot. The Game finally decided to go with the match between Usos and Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens as the final match of Night 1. According to him, it was all about which storyline made the most impact.
The former World Champion took part in the Press Conference for WrestleMania 39 after the show on Saturday. During the interaction he was asked about the decision to choose the Tag Team Championship match as the main event of the night. Opening up about it, Triple H mentioned how everyone felt like that match needed to be in that spot:
"It's all about what is the most impactful, right. As the storyline's played out heading into WrestleMania to me is the most emotionally and storyline-driven match on the card. I felt like that needed to be, I think we all felt like that needed to be in that spot.
I've said this before when people [have said], when we talked before about 'Oh, you put the women in the main event.' We didn't put the women in the main event. That's the spot. Right? That is the storyline that was driving things to put them in that role. It's not about giving it to them because they're women. It's not about giving it to somebody. Never once did it factor for me. People say 'Well Tag Team Championships haven't been in that spot and [it's] history making.' I didn't even know that to be honest with you. It's about the...talent are talent, Nothing else to it. Talent are talent. Whatever storyline is resonating the most and has the most impact - that needs to be the story that's told. I think in this case it was the Usos and Kevin & Sami."
