Metallica’s residency at the Las Vegas Sphere has attracted thousands of fans, and even a few famous faces. Not the least of which was WWE legend and Chief Content Officer Triple H.
In a new viral video, Paul Michael Levesque—AKA Hunter Hearst Helmsley, AKA The Game, AKA Terra Ryzing (that’s real, look it up)—was spotted riling up the crowd. In the clip, he’s seen doing some signature crowd work motions, and even throwing up some devil horns. Funnily enough, the person filming him seems to have no clue who he is. Check out the clip below.

Notably, WWE and Metallica go back a ways. In addition to the band’s music being used in promos for the company over the years, Triple H has a direct wrestling connection to them. In 2011, Triple H used Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” during the opening portion of his entrance for his WrestleMania XXVII match against The Undertaker.
Then, in 2020, Metallica’s “Now That We’re Dead” was used as The Undertaker’s entrance music for a match he had against AJ Styles. I’d also be remiss not to mention ECW and WWE legend The Sandman. He once utilized—you guessed it—Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” as his theme music.
