Update: Triple H commenced Summerslam Weekend with an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
The WWE performer and executive appeared during the weekly “Thank You Notes” segment.
Fallon “thanked” Triple H for sounding “less like a WWE superstar and more like an extra-strength hemorrhoid cream.” Upon hearing the joke, Triple H came out and delivered a body slam.
HHH then plugged “Summerslam” — and the forthcoming “Tonight Show” interview with Jon Hamm.
