Billions is one of the highest-rated shows on Netflix right now. It is currently in its 7th and final season which has left fans very dejected as they really loved the show. The show revolves around Chuck Roades played by 2-time Emmy and Golden Globe award winner Paul Giamatti who is U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In the recent episode, Triple H got a chance to show his acting skills once again after a long time.

The last time Triple H appeared in a TV show was back in 2005 on The Bernie Mac Show where he played himself. The only difference is back then he was just a wrestler, this time around he played the role of WWE’s Chief Content Officer. On The Bernie Mac Show, he did a comedy performance but his cameo in Billions is a serious one. In this particular scene, he can be seen walking into an empty arena with Chuck Roades who needs some advice.

Roades even goes on to reference Triple H as ‘The Game’ saying, “Well no one knows the game like you do Hunter and that’s why i need your advice”. To which Triple H replies, “You got a game that needs to be played?”. You can catch the final season on Netflix to see what advice Triple H finally gave Roades.

But if Triple H’s return to television wasn’t a big thing, he had another reason to celebrate.
