I know I'm likely to get flamed for this, but maybe it might be the best thing for the company to have Triple H retain. I would prefer to see Benoit walk out with the title. Michaels would be my second preference, then at Backlash Benoit could beat him in a Ladder Match.
I don't think Triple H has ever lost when he was in the WrestleMania main event, and whether you like him or not, that's something the WWE could utilize later on. Maybe having Triple H retaining with a pinfall on Shawn Michaels, then losing the title via submission in Edmonton would be the best direction for the company. Triple H keeps his dignity, Benoit gets the title in his hometown, Michaels gets to main event Mania again and it puts Triple H out of the title hunt for a while until he's done with Edge. Maybe Edge could even be involved in the Backlash main event?
Anyway, all I'm trying to say is Triple H retaining at WMXX might happen, and it may not be the worst thing to happen to the company. I would love to see Benoit win it, but I feel there is more money and success to play if Benoit wins it cleanly in Edmonton. I would rather see Benoit defend the title heading into Backlash, against Triple H (Benoit makes Michaels tap at Mania) while Michaels faces someone like Edge. BTW Triple H has said he doesn't want to feud with Benoit past WM, so I guess that can be inferred to either HBK or Benoit winning the title at Mania.
