10 Things We Learned From WWE Untold: Sting

4. Triple H Thought ‘Mania 31’s Stage Had Caught Fire

Come show time, Triple H stalked the bowels of Levi's Stadium in California and prepared to put on his Arnie-like Terminator gear for a spectacular entrance. As he watched some of the crowd react to Sting's first ever WrestleMania entrance, Trips began to worry when black smoke billowed towards him.

He didn't know it'd been part of Sting's entrance.

Triple H had missed the rehearsal for Sting's drum entourage earlier in the day, so he wasn't to know production were going to blast a load of smoke from the side of the staging. There's a scene in the documentary that shows Triple H turning to a production worker and asking if there's supposed to be so much smog about the place.

For a few seconds, Hunter thought something had gone wrong and the stage had caught fire. His only thought at that point was how to escape, not how kick-ass his metal-as-f*ck entrance routine was going to be in the Cali sunshine.
