10 WWE Moments That Weren't Supposed To Happen

At WrestleMania 29, Triple H knew he had a gruelling 24-minute long 'No Holds Barred' match with Brock Lesnar ahead of him. The added stipulation that Trips would have to retire if he lost meant both men went into the bout with gritted teeth and serious expressions on their faces. This was all hyper-aggressive stuff.

The last thing Triple H needed was some real pain before Lesnar even laid hands on him.

That's what he got. On his way to the ring during an elaborate entrance routine, 'The Game' was unfortunately doused in dry ice. That's why he appeared to have snow on his belly whilst walking down the aisle. What you might not know is that dry ice burns like hell, and it left Triple H in agony throughout the entire match.

WWE later shared a pic of Triple H's wounds backstage, and it looked excruciating. Knowing this should make you wince any time Brock slugs Triple H in the midsection during the match, or throws him around with his bevy of suplexes.
