Diehard Broncos fan Eric LeGrand named WWE's 2017 recipient of The Warrior Award

Eric LeGrand figured he must have done something wrong.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a 14-time WWE champion and World Wrestling Entertainment’s executive vice president of talent, live events and creative, was trying to get in touch with LeGrand, who had hosted Levesque on “Mission Possible,” LeGrand's Fox Sports digital series.

“Uh oh, what did I do wrong? What could he want from me?” LeGrand recalls thinking.

Levesque’s assistant told him that he would be in touch in two days — time LeGrand spent fearing he had angered the wrestling legend. But LeGrand had nothing to fear, as he would soon find out from the wrestler he grew up watching.
