WWE Fans Pick Triple H Over Undertaker In “2.21.11″ Battle
WWE’s blueprint for the Triple H-Undertaker WrestleMania feud has yet to unfold, but as far as the fans at the live Fresno, California edition of Monday Night RAW are concerned, Triple H is the bigger babyface.
According to multiple correspondent reports, both HHH and Taker received admirable, favorable reactions from the live crowd, but the pop for Triple H’s surprise return far exceeded that of The Undertaker.
The disparity in pop can certainly be explained without resorting to popularity; in addition to the fact that Triple H has been away from television for longer, The Undertaker’s return was effectively “spoiled” by the “2-21-11″ campaign. The element of surprise certainly worked in favor of Triple H.
At the same time, the crowd reaction for HHH, which sources say easily eclipsed that for any Superstar on the show, clearly suggests that he has his fanbase. Though there is a vast anti-Triple H sentiment within the online wrestling community, it is consistently shown that the “WWE Universe,” on the whole, still views Triple H as a top star.

Triple H Confronts The Undertaker
After several long weeks, the WWE Universe finally discovered the meaning behind the cryptic “2.21.11” signs. Both The Undertaker and Triple H emerged from months of recuperation to stun everyone. The two goliath Superstars said not a word when they stood toe-to-toe in the center of the ring. Instead, they each acknowledged the WrestleMania sign hanging in the arena and appeared to offer a tacit agreement to face off on The Grandest Stage of Them All on April 3 in Atlanta. Let the battle begin!
