WWE Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy & Development Paul “Triple H” Levesque WENT IN-DEPTH on his recent HEALTH PROBLEMS that took him out of the public eye last fall. Triple H joined ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith for an exclusive interview and also announced in the interview that he will be officially retiring from in-ring competition. Triple H has done some WWE work over recent months. He toured the new WWE headquarters facilities in Stamford along with other executives last November. However, he has not returned to the daily workload that he had before. As of this past January, there were reportedly no plans for Triple H to return to running the NXT brand. Shawn Michaels has been overseeing the brand since the start of Triple H’s medical leave. Triple H’s last match was on June 29, 2019. He tagged with Shinsuke Nakamura in a win over Robert Roode and Samoa Joe at a non-televised WWE live event in Tokyo, Japan. Triple H’s last televised match was against Randy Orton at the Super ShowDown pay-per-view in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on June 7, 2019. Superstar Talent took to social media after the news broke on Triple H’s in-ring retirement announcement to express their gratitude.
Many wrestling stars (WWE, AEW, INDY) gave their thanks to Triple H including Io Shirai, Kairi Sane, Montez Ford, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Kevin Owens, Shane Taylor, Matt Hardy, Trish Stratus, Andrade El Idolo, Adam Cole, Ric Flair, Mustafa Ali, The Miz, Alexa Bliss, Paige, Adam Scherr/Braun Strowman, Jim Ross and others.
