Triple H announced during an interview with Stephen A Smith on ESPN's First Take that he will never compete in the ring again. Triple H suffered a cardiac event in 2021 and in the interview, he details that he was struggling with viral pneumonia and at risk for heart failure.
Triple H revealed that he has a defibrillator in his heart now and will no longer be competing in the ring after over two decades of matches, many of which were for the WWE.
Triple H's last official match was in 2019 when he teamed with Shinsuke Nakamura against Robert Roode & Samoa Joe in Japan. His last televised match was at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 against Randy Orton.
Now, the wrestling world is coming together to pay homage to Triple H as he officially closes the book on his wrestling career.
