This wasn’t the first time the Game broke character in a WWE ring, but it was probably the most touching moment. After the episode ended, the boy even went backstage and had a photograph taken with one of the biggest names in wrestling.
The Game previously broke character on an episode of Raw in 2009, where he ribbed Kofi Kingston about his former Jamaican character. Another memorable moment where he broke character was on an episode of SmackDown, where he gave a kid with Down Syndrome a chance to perform the DX crotch chop with him in the ring.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart called the fourteen-time champion ‘overrated‘ and openly claimed his success in WWE is attributed to his relationship with Vince McMahon. There have even been allegations of Triple H bullying Superstars backstage including major names like CM Punk and The Rock.
