60-time WWE champion says Triple H was forced to break character

A 60-time WWE champion has revealed that he had to work hard to force Triple H to break character. Since his in-ring retirement, The Game has taken up a more serious role as the company's Chief Content Officer.

Hence, getting him to break character on WWE TV is not an easy task, even for someone with perfect comedic timing like R-Truth.

In an interview with SHAK Wrestling, Truth was asked about who he was most proud of getting to break character in WWE. The 54-time WWE 24/7 champion mentioned Brock Lesnar before diving into why Triple H was a challenge for him.

"Definitely Brock, but, Triple H as well because he told me that he was working on not breaking. He was serious with me. That was one of my, okay, I'll get him cause I didn't, it wasn't even like that. He was just like focused on trying not to break because we had a series he didn't want to break in front of me. And when he broke that was one of my good ones," he said.

Last year, during the World Tag Team Championship reveal to Awesome Truth, the veteran had his boss in splits. He called Triple H a "crafty little genius" and referred to him as Tommaso Ciampa. The Cerebral Assassin could barely contain his laughter at this remark.

Triple H clarified that R-Truth leaving WWE was part of an angle

In June, R-Truth dropped a bombshell, revealing that he was leaving WWE as his contract was not being renewed.

However, he surprisingly showed up during the main event of Money in the Bank, costing John Cena and Logan Paul their tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

In the post-show presser, HHH revealed that all this was part of an ongoing storyline and was done to keep the fans engaged in Cena's farewell tour.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
