The legendary WWE performer Triple H has officially announced his retirement from the ring after a 27-year stint wrestling for the company.
The wrestler hangs up the boots after 27 years.
Alongside several Hollywood appearances, the superstar continued to wrestle after attaining his executive position but spent noticeably more time as an authority figure doing promos and managing the brand. Despite the step back, Triple H won his 14th and final championship by defeating Dean Ambrose in the 2016 Royal Rumble and obtaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
He subsequently dropped the belt to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 32.
After a couple more years of in-ring appearances, Triple H suffered a pectoral injury at 2018’s Crown Jewel event that required surgery and began appearing sporadically from 2020 on.
In September 2021, he experienced a major cardiac event that required an emergency procedure and did not appear on WWE television for months.
In the interview, the superstar discusses the circumstances leading to his secretive cardiac catheterization and what the experience meant for his family, mentioning his three young daughters. He also confirms that he has a defibrillator in his chest after saying;
“I’m done … I will never wrestle again.”
