Steph rehired him so HHH could screw him at RR/get his revenge
Part of me thought this too. It'd be weird to have HHH screw him and not have Braun take the pin though. I mean it's easily doable but it doesn't have the impact it would if he led Braun into an F-5 > pin somehow. If I had to put money on one way or the other, I'd bet that HHH costs him the title at RR.

However after all of that, if recent history has told us anything, it’s that HHH loves his 30 minute psychology filled epic matches
Man, last years match was so bad, heatless, and boring. It had potential. I've sat here for at least 3 minutes trying to think who he faced at WM 32 and w/o looking it up, I really have no idea who it was...that's how epic it was. That quote is also exactly why I don't rule out Angle as an opponent but I don't expect it. I think HHH vs Angle at this point in time would be worse than Seth/HHH from last year
The reason why I think Braun would lose despite HHH being the old guard that's trying to act like Cartman and "make, make it right" is that Braun's technically a heel(?). Despite being the most popular guy on the roster, if you look on wrestling forums, people think he's a heel. I certainly don't. However, if you look at that gif I posted, you can easily see that HHH is in the right here. He was pretty much gotten from behind and terrified. Then when the clip's over, he was crushed by two powerslams. Sure that was after an attempted sneak attack of his own but the lasting visage is HHH crushed. But Trips also needs a win for "credibility" in future years and Braun's young. /rambling paragraph
I'd happily bet $10 or $20 on HHH winning if the match happens for a fun sweat during Mania if anyone wants. Would have to book before odds come out, obv.
