11 Awesome WWE Title Moments That Became FORGOTTEN
1. Triple H Is In The Ambulance!
Look, it's Triple H: The nu-metal years!
Yours truly would scoop tubs of hair gel onto his head to achieve that long hair separation as a teen before hitting up the school dance to exclusively mosh to Papa Roach (the glory days), but Hunter was going for the slick/wet look on episodes of Raw in 2009.
On the 8 June edition that year, he had a shock in store for Randy Orton. Batista had actually beaten RKO the night before at Extreme Rules to regain the WWE Title, but he suffered an injury and management needed to get the belt off of him; so, they booked a Legacy attack and kayfabe arm break before ‘The Animal’ was rushed to hospital.
The night's story was that Orton would be crowned champ again if Batista couldn’t wrestle him in the main event. An ambulance pulled up, seemingly with Batista inside, but it was actually a sledgehammer-wielding Triple H looking for revenge on Randy and chums.
What an awesome reveal, one that has unfortunately been filed under 'nobody remembers it' ever since. The stony look on 'The Cerebral Assassin's' face told the world that he was about to throw down, and that's exactly what happened.
No, no he didn't sing 'Last Resort' or Mudvayne's 'Dig' whilst doing so, the big spoilsport.
