But he isn't failing if HHH or somebody comes in an levels him right when he's about to win it. He's getting screwed.
Big difference. It makes his character want it more, and it makes the fans want it more too
And it's better achieved by him, and delivered to the fans (after coming so close) just down the road at the biggest show of the year.

Now, if he got cheated before this or he flat out failed it'd be momentum killing. But that's not what I'm suggesting

See Stone Cold Steve Austin in 99. It all led up to a dozen different nights, and he didn't get his way. Title shots/rematches/tournaments/royal rumbles/number one contenderships. There were plenty of times when it was "finally going to happen" and it didn't. But he didn't fail, he was screwed or unlucky. But finally he got it in the peak and finale of the greatest build/struggle in WWF/E history
