Rylen Griffen was hyped to be celebrating with a custom WWE Championship as the University of Alabama is headed to the Final Four.
Rylen Griffen, shooting guard for Alabama, was gifted a custom Undisputed WWE Universal Championship with Alabama side plates as the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide men's basketball team has qualified for its first Final Four in the history of the program.
In footage that was captured as he was celebrating with the custom championship, Griffen said it was nearly better than a trophy and was also excited to "hit the Triple H," making a motion like Triple H does when he spits out water during his entrance.
Rylan Griffen got the Alabama WWE belt and he instantly became a kid again.
