WWE Star Triple H Announces Retirement From Wrestling
Triple H, one of WWE's most storied performers, has officially announced his retirement from in-ring competition. Paul Michael Levesque has gone by several names throughout his professional wrestling career, including Jean-Paul Lévesque, a few iterations of his International Wrestling Federation name Terra Ryzing, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley before adopting the now-iconic Triple H moniker. As a prominent figure of the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras in WWF/E, Triple H's feuds with The Rock (which could be material for Young Rock season 2), Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Mr. McMahon, and others were among the most critically acclaimed elements of the company's programming. In 2010, Levesque became Executive Senior Advisor for WWE Corporate and founded the NXT developmental brand.
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.
