Triple H & WWE Honor Hero Of London Bridge Attack
Sami Zayn fan receives a visit, signed belt and a personal message.
On Saturday, June 3rd, off-duty London police officer Charlie Guenigault was enjoying a night on the town with his friends, adorned in his favorite Sami Zayn shirt, when terrorists crashed a van into a crowd of innocent bystanders and devastatingly attacked them and others with knives.
While most people in the area rightfully attempted to flee the danger, the unarmed officer ignored the obvious threat and rushed at the attackers, placing himself in harm's way in an attempt to protect others and allow them a chance to escape unscathed. In doing so he sustained stab wounds to the head, stomach, leg and back, requiring emergency surgery and a two week recovery period in the hospital.
When word reached WWE that the brave man was a fan of their product, the company immediately began formulating a plan to honor Guenigault for his fearless action. Triple H coordinated with the wounded officer's father to to surprise him, putting him up in an a luxury hotel, completely unaware of the reasoning behind his accommodations.
Hunter surprised Charlie with a personal visit, presenting him with a signed WWE championship title belt as well as a personal video message from Zayn, Guenigault's favorite wrestler:
Hunter was honored to meet the young officer and was humbled by his courage, making the following statement:
"To run in the direction of a scary situation that can’t even be described in words, to help others … for that to be your instinct to help others … that is a hero. People say a lot of times that they watch WWE because these guys are like real-life superheroes. Well, Charlie is a real hero."
A very classy move for a genuine hero.
