Ken Jeong Wants to Manage Dave Bautista in His WrestleMania Match Against Triple H

Published Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:05:37 -0500

This Sunday at WrestleMania, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista will battle Triple H in a No Holds Barred match with Triple H's career on the line. In a high stakes contest like that, Haitch is likely to do anything to win. And while the match stipulation means that both competitors can attack their opponents in any way they choose, or with any weapons, Bautista could find himself at a disadvantage because he's fighting on Triple H's home turf.

In addition to be a longtime presence in WWE, Triple H is also one of the company's top executives and also runs the developmental brand, NXT. As such, Triple H probably has dozens of allies willing to interfere in the match, costing Bautista a victory and saving Triple H's career. Thankfully, one of Bautista's fellow Hollywood stars is willing to step up and have his friend's back: Community star Ken Jeong.

I want to manage @DaveBautista and be his advocate so there is no outside interference from @TripleH or Evolution.

Dave and I are from Hollywood and are therefore the Good Guys. @WWE https://t.co/uuk1M6hdnd

Of course, some might wonder how exactly a regular-sized comedian can stand up to a large professional wrestler like Triple H, but Jeong wouldn't be the only TV funny man engaging in fisticuffs at WrestleMania. Saturday Night Live stars Michael Che and Colin Jost are both scheduled to compete in the Andre the Giant Battle Royale this weekend, where they'll go up against Braun Strowman, a monster twice Triple H's size. If Che and Jost have a hope of competing against Strowman, then there's no reason Jeong wouldn't be an asset in Bautista's corner this Sunday.

It should also be noted that Last Week Tonight host John Oliver has an open invite to attend WrestleMania in response to his expose on WWE's treatment of its independent contractors, and if we had to choose between Oliver and Jeong to have our back in a wrestling match, we definitely wouldn't go with the scrawny British guy.
