WWE superstar Triple H sent a caution to the Philadelphia Eagles after their 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round on Sunday.

Late in the fourth quarter, Quinyon Mitchell, who is in the second year of his four-year, $14.8 million rookie deal, recorded a game-clinching interception. After that, he celebrated by using Triple H's finishing move, "The Pedigree," on fellow cornerback Cooper DeJean.

After Mitchell landed the finisher, Triple H, whose real name is Paul Levesque, took to X to share some caution with the Philadelphia players.

"There’s a reason we say ‘Don’t try this at home’…congrats on the win Quinyon & @Eagles!" Triple H, who is WWE's chief content officer, wrote.

Luckily, neither Mitchell nor DeJean got hurt in the play, which Triple H warned them about. The cornerbacks also didn't do the move too well, but it still caught the attention of the WWE legend.

Mitchell finished the game with six tackles and an interception in the win.

Eagles coach says improvements are still needed

Despite the Philadelphia Eagles dominating the Green Bay Packers, coach Nick Sirianni wasn't thrilled with his team's performance.

Instead, Sirianni said the game showed Philadelphia still has a lot to improve on.

“We’ve got to correct this tape,” Sirianni said after the game, via FanSided. “We have things we have to get better from, from this tape. If we play on a Saturday, then their day off has to be tomorrow. We’ll find a way to get their corrections to them and review that on Tuesday.
"But if we play on Sunday, we’re coming back to work, we’re going to get our lift in, we’re going to correct the errors we made as coaches, and we made errors as players.”

In the win, the Philly defense limited Jordan Love to throwing for 212 yards and three interceptions, while Josh Jacobs rushed for the lone Packers touchdown.

On offense, Philadelphia was led by Jalen Hurts, who threw for just 131 yards but didn't turn the ball over and threw for two touchdowns. Saquon Barkley also rushed for 119 yards.

It was a good win for the Eagles, who will now host the winner of Monday night's Minnesota Vikings vs. LA Rams matchup on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 3 p.m. ET.
