Following the viral video of Philadelphia Eagles standout cornerback Quinyon Mitchell mimicking his finishing move during a game against the Green Bay Packers, WWE CCO Paul "Triple H" Levesque responded. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 22–10 on Sunday in the NFL Playoffs Wild Card round.

But Quinyon's celebration in the closing seconds of the game garnered media attention, particularly among WWE fans. With 1:51 of the fourth quarter left, Mitchell intercepted Packers quarterback Jordan Love, his third of the game, and his team won at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Following the play, Mitchell raced to Cooper DeJean, his teammate and Eagles cornerback, and tried Levesque's famous last move as the family celebrated the victory. Before Mitchell could lock his arms, DeJean struck the ground, demonstrating his poor execution of the maneuver. But the video of two NFL players performing a professional wrestling move has since gone viral online, to the point where the man has responded to it.

Watch the video here:

In response to the video, Triple H posted a message on his official X (Twitter) account, reminding everyone of the reasons the promotion constantly advises fans not to perform the moves at home. Levesque also gave Quinyon and the Eagles kudos for winning. There’s a reason we say ‘Don’t try this at home’…congrats on the win Quinyon & @Eagles!

Triple H gave an historic Netflix debut

With a long and illustrious history, Philadelphia has a strong bond with professional wrestling. Over the years, the city hosted several WWE events and was home to ECW. Numerous independent pro wrestling organizations have held shows in the city in addition to industry titans like the Stamford-based promotion. The Stamford-based company has now turned its attention to the forthcoming Saturday Night Main Event and the first PLE of 2025, the Royal Rumble, after producing the historic first episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
