The current chief content officer of WWE once detailed his suffering as well. He said, “I get in the smoke and all of a sudden I feel like I’m on fire. And I get out of the smoke and I start walking down the ramp and I realize that I am sizzling!

I can feel myself sizzling and I look down and I have dry ice all stuck to my stomach and I tried to brush it off but I ended up getting like really bad like second-degree burns all over me,” HHH added. 

With all this, the pain for the night just started for the WWE Hall of Famer. From thereon he had to face the vicious Brock Lesnar. However, despite all that, he put on a show and came out on top against Lesnar.

All that the wrestling fanatics would know is that Hunter pushed himself to a great extent in preparation for this match. But he was even tricked into signing the contract for that match, as he didn’t know what sort of match it would be. Seeking revenge for his SummerSlam 2012 loss, an attack on his best friend, and an assault on his father-in-law, Triple H was hell-bent on getting in the ring with Lesnar no matter the cost.

However, when The Game got to know that it will be a No Holds Barred match and that if he loses, his career would be over, there wasn’t any way to go back. He had to fight The Beast Incarnate and perform at his best to conquer the rival.
