10 Funniest WWE Dark Segments Never Broadcast
2. It’s All About The Cake
After RAW, July 27th 2009, Washington DC
For his fortieth birthday, Triple H got a little more than he’d bargained from the boss and the rest of the WWE roster when he was called to the ring again after finishing the dark match
At the time, he was working a babyface aspect of his Triple H character: he’d just finished putting Randy Orton over the night before in the post-WrestleMania angle over the WWE Championship, and was a few weeks away from reforming D-Generation X with Shawn Michaels.
When he came to the ring, it looked like he’d already had a little cake attack backstage, and on his way to the ring a crouching Enforcer threw another one at him, occasioning a “Nice shot, Arn” crack from Vince McMahon, already waiting in the ring.
Even if none of that had occurred, however, this wasn’t Triple H’s first foot massage. He knew what a WWE birthday celebration means: the birthday boy (or girl) gets covered in cake, and all he (or she) can hope to do is take someone else down with them. As the entire roster descended to ringside, cakes in hand, The Game took this maxim to heart and lunged at his father-in-law, grappling him to the ground so the two could both get caked to death together.
Finally, Batista came to the ring to pile in on his old buddy, and (displaying those old Cerebral Assassin instincts), Triple H got him first, caking Big Dave right in the mush.
In amongst all the silliness, there were two moments of classic comedy on the part of Triple H himself in this segment: a genuinely funny joke aimed at Mark Henry, and a beautiful piece of slapstick that saw the Game pretend to slip on the cream-covered canvas and administer a diving headbutt directly between the legs of a prone Big Show.
