WATCH: WWE Stars Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and The New Day on the ‘Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon
There was a WWE presence on the ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ on Thursday night as power couple Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon were joined by The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods) to take part in the show’s famous “Lip Sync Battle” segment.
Fallon and The New Day sang a classic Boyz II Men song together, which was pretty funny especially for some of Big E’s facial expressions.
As for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, they ended up singing a song from the ‘Moana’ movie. That’s a kids movie and we know Hunter and Stephanie have three young daughters together, so naturally, Triple H knew how to perfectly lip sync to it. That was the funniest part of the bit because Triple H was out there in a leather jacket wearing a Metallica shirt ready to rock, yet there he was having to lip sync to a song from a kids movie. The joke was done really well.
It was also announced during the segment that Fallon is going to be a part of WWE’s Raw 25 celebration in Brooklyn, New York on Monday. Fallon tapes the Tonight Show in New York City, so it’s not a far commute for him. The Tonight Show is part of NBC Universal, which owns the USA Network where Raw and Smackdown Live air, so that’s the corporate tie-in to this whole thing.
You can watch the lip syncing performances below and I’ve also included some social media posts from the wrestlers involved.
