Triple H has had a lot of injuries during his time in WWE and he has managed to come back from each and every single one of them. One of those injuries was a testament to The Game's determination and courage when he tore his quadriceps on an episode of RAW in 2001.

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H were set to drop their WWE tag team belts to Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. During that match, Jericho had locked Austin in the Walls of Jericho and Triple H was set to make the save, but he set his foot down at a weird angle which tore his quad on the spot.

Triple H didn't take any rest before jumping right back into the match. Triple H was wrestling with a torn quad. Such injuries have put out wrestlers for months and The Game was still wrestling in the aforementioned scenario. He even had to endure the Walls of Jericho submission maneuver.

Also, Triple H is forever a maniac/brute for finishing this match with his quad torn off the bone. Even took the Walls, man. pic.twitter.com/UeyyzZDTmV

Triple H gained the respect of a lot of fans that day. He went ahead with the risk of ending his career just so he could put on a good match for the fans' leisure. The Cerebral Assassin had to stay out of WWE action for a good duration because of the injury, missing the invasion angle which would have seen him take a prominent role.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
