To be honest, HHH winning it is the only thing that made sense. Reigns couldn't possibly win it without being pushed to Cena levels, and Ambrose winning it seems way too weak. Who else could have won it? Styles? Too much too quick, see Cena. Wyatt? Nope. Not a big enough drive to be done. Kane? Hah! Big Show? Only other viable choice, and that's if we wanted WWE to turn into a kid's movie about the plucky underdog. No, for storyline purposes it needed to be HHH. He's got the chops, and he's hated enough to actually build up to something awesome where he lose the title after a glorious struggle. You need to imagine long game for WWE.
