8 Times WWE Stars Couldn't Hide Their Boo-Boo Face

4. Triple H

WWE's omni-botched 'Summer Of Punk' wasn't short of embarrassing moments, but it might not have gotten any worse than the moment CM Punk marked his cards with the company by slapping Triple H in the face with his own tie.

It came during yet another head-to-head segment between the two, laced with worked shoot lines that were as nonsensical as they were narratively unnecessary. Or, they were until 'The Game' got so wound up by his ego getting checked for once that he - per Kevin Nash himself - took 'Big Sexy's spot in a planned pay-per-view match between the two just so he could pin Punk's shoulders to the match. Beyond using Hunter's suit against him, Punk also brought Stephanie McMahon up, which was enough to rattle Paul Levesque's cage for real.

The pursed lips were good enough to make the gif, but the anger carries on after the moment that became a meme. With Hunter not being able to get the last word before the music played them off (hen's-teeth rare for him, especially when getting out-witted), he can be seen doing a fake applause and mouthing "congratulations", knowing that he's about to kill The Punker's push.

There's a certain charm to it through a 2026 lens - the two men that hated each other eventually came together when the opportunity to properly do business presented itself.
