10 Triple H Shovel Memes That Make Us Cry-Laugh
Ava Richardson Throughout the years, the WWE fans know Triple H by his many nicknames including “The Game, The Cerebral Assassin, The King of Kings,” and so on, but he also has an unofficial nickname as “The man with the golden shovel.”
The WWE Universe has heard many tales about Triple H refusing to put over younger talents and using them to his advantage. The fans went to the extent of replacing the Game’s signature sledgehammer with a shovel, showing that he’s ready to bury another superstar’s career.

Certain fans have showcased their artistic sides on this subject with some creative memes. With that said, let’s take a look at 10 of those Triple H shovel memes, which would give us a good laugh.
10 Passing Of The Shovel
The passing of the torch moments are some of the common sights the fans have seen in WWE. It could be official or unofficial but every time a top superstar steps down from his position, another superstar rises to the occasion to take his place.
The meme couldn't be more accurate as Randy Orton is the one person Triple H would trust with his precious shovel. John Cena seemingly passed the torch to Daniel Bryan when he dropped the WWE Championship to him at SummerSlam 2013. But Triple H passed on his glorious shovel to Randy Orton and surprised Bryan with a betrayal and a Money in the Bank cash-in.
9 Victims Of The Shovel
Every WWE superstar would like to have their names among the list of top performers. However, not even a single superstar would like to find their names in Triple H's list of shovel-victims.
Two out of the four superstars on this picture have got a taste of the Cerebral Assasin's golden shovel, and the fans are still bickering over Sting's loss against Triple H at WrestleMania 31. The Game gave a tough time to Daniel Bryan on his rise to the top in 2014 and proved that he is one of the most influential figures backstage in WWE.
8 One Has To Be Worthy To Wield The Shovel
Only one person in WWE history has possessed the power of the shovel other than Triple H, and his name is John Cena. The 16-time WWE Champion has knocked down numerous young prospects on his rise to the top. The list includes Alex Riley, Damien Sandow, and Wade Barrett.

However, this meme depicts that not even a 16-time champion can always hold on to the shovel as it will return to its original owner. While Cena has been out of WWE's grasp, Triple H is rising among the ranks in the company and is always worthy of holding the golden shovel.
7 The Game Always Have A Plan-B And A Bigger Shovel
The meme creator did a good job in reading Triple H's mind when Daniel Bryan hijacked Raw with his Yes Movement, demanding a match against Triple H at WrestleMania XXX. Being an influential figure backstage, The Game can handle any number of challengers he gets on his way.
Looking at his track record, Triple H can bury an entire arena full of people with a bigger shovel, and a ring full of enhancement talent would be a walk in the park for The Cerebral Assassin.
6 He Was No.1!
When Bill Goldberg broke into the scenes in WWE after WCW went out of business, the fans had high hopes for his run in the company. He did make an impactful debut against The Rock and went on undefeated for over six months until he crossed paths with Triple H.
Goldberg's WWE streak came to an end at the 2003 SummerSlam PPV when he challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. Goldberg had the upper hand until Triple H nailed him with a sledgehammer to give him his first pinfall loss in WWE. Despite going on to having a world title reign, things were never the same for Goldberg after The Game slowed down his momentum. Bill found himself out of the company by the end of WrestleMania XX.
5 An Unofficial Retirement!
Triple H gave his shovel a temporary rest after taking over the reins as the lead booker for NXT. He started mentoring young upstart talent and groom them to become the superstars of the future. He would’ve played a big role in getting NXT a prominent spot in last year’s Survivor Series PPV.

But that doesn’t mean Triple H has put the shovel to rest for good as he could pull it out of the closet whenever he feels necessary. So it’s only a matter of time until The Game summons his old friend again.
4 The Secrets Of The Shovel
Similar to how the wand chooses the wizard in the Harry Potter universe, the shovel chooses the person to hold it in his hands. The shovel gives the holder an undying desire to bury as many people as he can, and no one but the holder can unravel the secret behind it.
The meme creator reiterates the fact that even Triple H could be overwhelmed with the shovel's ability to bury many potential talents and depicts The Cerebral Assassin trying to decode the secrets.
3 Better Not Stand In His Way
Almost everyone in the WWE locker room knows that they shouldn't mess with Triple H unless they want to find themselves facing the wrath of his handy-dandy shovel. Many superstars learned this lesson the hard way by getting on the bad side of The Cerebral Assassin.
Scott Steiner, Booker T, and Goldberg are some well-known names who got a taste out of Triple H's shovel. The meme creatively portrays the voices of every superstar in the WWE locker room on why they shouldn't get on the bad side of The Game.
2 The Unlucky Tale Of The Burial Of Damien Sandow
While Triple H was not directly involved in the burial of Damien Sandow's WWE career, he takes his time to commend his friend the shovel for its noble work. It was John Cena, who is also a co-owner of the shovel who buried Sandow's career to the ground.
The fans expected great things from Sandow when he won the SmackDown MITB ladder match in 2013. But everything went downhill when Sandow lost his cash-in match against John Cena. His career never took off after that, and he soon found himself out of the company.
1 What A Shame!
How would it feel if a superstar getting a decent push got his momentum derailed just because he messed with the wrong person? Sheamus, Booker T, Scott Steiner, and Goldberg are some superstars who suffered the unfortunate fate just because they crossed paths with Triple H.
Over the years, the WWE superstars have kept this as an unofficial golden rule and did their best to stay away from Triple H’s bad side. But those who didn’t get the message ended up getting a taste of the Game’s shovel.
