Triple H keeps himself busy as Head of Creative in WWE but makes time to stay updated on events in other sports. In fact, The Cerebral Assassin has now reacted to a botched Pedigree attempt by Quinyon Mitchell during the Philadelphia Eagles’ game.

In a big moment during the Philadelphia Eagles’ wild card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell sealed the win with a game-winning interception. To celebrate, Mitchell paid tribute to Triple H by attempting to hit a Pedigree on his teammate, Cooper DeJean but ended up botching the move in a big way.

The King of Kings saw Quinyon Mitchell’s attempt and took to Twitter to react. He joked that there’s a reason WWE advises fans not to try its moves at home but also congratulated the Eagles on their big win, saying, “There’s a reason we say ‘Don’t try this at home’…congrats on the win Quinyon & @Eagles !”

Even though Mitchell’s Pedigree didn’t go as planned, fans of both football and wrestling will probably remember his celebration for a long time. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see which athlete will try to hit a Pedigree next time.
