It is not new for WWE fans to get out of control and get to the ring to either meet their favorite wrestler or attack another wrestler. This has been happening for years, and wrestlers are always instructed to be aware of any such attack. A similar incident happened when Triple H was wrestling Stone Cold Steve Austin, and a fan decided to jump the Rattle Snake.

In the video making the rounds online, Stone Cold defeated Triple H and pinned him. As soon as Austin gets the victory, a fan runs into the ring and tries to kick and attack him. However, Hunter used his senses and quickly slammed the fan on his back. He then jumped on the fans and proceeded to punch them violently. The referee and a few officials quickly joined and caught the man.

Stone Cold would later reveal that he commended Triple H for his presence of mind. He also added that he was a babyface at the time and, therefore, could not attack the fan. However, Triple H was a heel and made sure the fan was properly punished for jumping on Austin. Stone Cold also added by saying that he met the fan later when they went backstage, and he talked to him.

Several incidences like these have happened before that as well as after it in WWE. Therefore, wrestlers are always told to watch out for anyone who can hurt them. Fortunately, the number of such sneak attacks has reduced over the years due to improvements in security measures.

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H’s run as tag team partners

When Austin turned heel in the historic WrestleMania 17 main event, he made a tag team with Triple H in the coming weeks. The two heavyweights were the “Two-Man Power Trip”. The two would go on to rule WWE for a few months, as Austin was the WWE Champion and Triple H was the Intercontinental Champion at the time. Apart from their singles titles, the two were also tag team champions for some time.

They did memorable work as a tag team, and as heels, the crowd reacted to them everywhere they went. However, during a match against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, Triple H tore his quad. He could not even finish the match, as he required help from officials to go backstage.

This would mark the end of the “Two-Man Power Trip” as a tag team. Austin would go on a singles run following this before turning Babyface again. He retired in 2003 when he lost to The Rock at WrestleMania 19. Triple H retired from in-ring competition in 2022 due to heart issues and medical advice against further wrestling. However, he remains involved with WWE, now overseeing creative control for all WWE programming.
