WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque shared a hug and a handshake with President-elect Donald Trump last night at Madison Square Garden while both were in attendance for UFC 309.

The WWE Hall of Famer and #47 walked out in MSG to the American Badass song, all known too well for WWE fans, with UFC President Dana White by his side.

Trump shook hands with the UFC commentary team, including big supporter Joe Rogan, and at one point while he was doing his usual dance, Triple H walked in the frame and first greeted White and then embraced Trump, after he finished his dance, of course, as all three had a talk.

Levesque and Trump are obviously not strangers to each other, with Trump sharing a long history with WWE and also being the boss of his mother in law, Linda McMahon.

WWE Superstars Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were also at the event at MSG and so was Stephanie McMahon. Both Triple H and McMahon were shown on camera and acknowledged during the PPV.

The whole encounter was captured by Matthew Connell which he uploaded on X and can be seen at
