After 27 years of wrestling, WWE legend Paul Levesque, popularly known as Triple H has announced his retirement from the ring, Newspremises has learnt.
Triple H is considered to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
The 52-year-old is during his career was a five-time world heavyweight champion, a five-time WWE Intercontinental champion, and the winner of two Royal Rumble matches.
Triple H had many rivalries with the likes of The Undertaker, The Rock, Batista, and former wrestling partner Shawn Michaels.
He debuted in 1995, and his last fight was in 2019 against Randy Orton in Saudi Arabia.
Triple H on Friday, March 25, disclosed that he suffered a cardiac arrest last September which led to heart surgery, forcing him to retire from wrestling.
“As far as in-ring, which I get a lot, I’m done,” he confirmed when speaking to Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take.
“I will never wrestle again. First of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest, and it’s not a good idea for me to get zapped on live TV.”
The WWE superstars and fans have been paying their respects to the Legendary wrestler.
“Triple H it was an honor to have shared the ring with you,” The Miz tweeted.“Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you have given to me over the years. Enjoy the extra time you will now have with your girls.”
A fellow WWE legend, Matt Hardy, also posted on social media: “Thanks for doing so much for the professional wrestling industry, [Triple H].
“Your passionate love for the biz shines through & I’m happy I was able to experience some special moments with you. All the best, Paul.
