Big Show breaks Triple H's sledgehammer at New Year’s Revolution 2006

Triple H’s sledgehammer became one of the most recognizable weapons in WWE history. Whenever “The Game” grabbed that hammer, it usually meant someone was about to get destroyed. But there were a few moments when his opponents managed to turn his own weapon against him — and one moment stands above them all. At New Year’s Revolution 2006, Triple H went after Big Show with his trademark sledgehammer. But instead of backing away, Big Show caught the weapon and used his incredible strength to break the sledgehammer in half with his injured hand! The moment was even more shocking because Triple H had already injured Big Show’s hand with the same weapon during their contract signing. WWE’s own match report described Show fighting through the pain before destroying the hammer. It was one of those classic WWE moments where the weapon that represented Triple H’s dominance suddenly became completely useless. And that's what made the sledgehammer so iconic — it wasn't just a weapon. It was part of Triple H's identity. From his legendary rivalries to WrestleMania battles, the sight of The Game raising that hammer was enough to make the entire arena react. WWE itself describes the sledgehammer as one of Triple H's trademark weapons.
