5 current WWE Superstars who could realistically retire Triple H

Triple H celebrated 25 years in WWE earlier this year as part of an episode of SmackDown that was forced to take place without an audience at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Game has been the measuring stick in WWE for more than two decades, but this past year, The King of Kings set a new career record for himself when 2020 became the first year that he had failed to compete in a single WWE match.

Triple H's last match came back at Super ShowDown in 2019 when he took on The Apex Predator, Randy Orton.

At present, it's unknown what the future holds for The Game since his focus right now is on his duties backstage in NXT. He also has a daughter who is training to enter the business that was once dominated by her parents.

WrestleMania 37 could be the venue for Triple H's retirement since The Game has always been fond of performing on The Grandest Stage Of Them All. Triple H missed last year's show and wants to make up for it by being part of the upcoming show.

Triple H's retirement match will definitely be a spectacle to behold, but in all honesty, there are only a handful of WWE stars who could ever wish to be in a position to retire WWE's measuring stick.

#5 Former 16-time WWE Champion John Cena

As impressive as @JohnCena’s accolades in and out of the ring are, it is the compassion he shows to everyone worldwide that makes him the Superstar he is. I can think of no better person to honor Muhammad Ali’s legacy than him. Congratulations, John. https://t.co/s46PxKujPd

Storyline wise, there are not many men who have had better feuds with Triple H than John Cena. The former 16-time World Champion has risen through the ranks in WWE over the past two decades, and The Game has stepped in his way on several occasions.

Triple H has always been the perfect heel to John Cena's face character. The two men have already faced off at WrestleMania before, with Cena coming out on top back in 2006.

John Cena was last seen on WWE TV back at WrestleMania 36 when The Fiend defeated him in the first-ever Firefly Fun House match. Cena is enjoying some time away from the company but could make his return to help wrap up one of its greatest careers.

#4 Current WWE Monday Night RAW Superstar Riddle

According to Hulk Hogan, Riddle could be "The Next Big Thing" in WWE. While Riddle has genuine real-life heat with Seth Rollins, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar, he seems to be on good terms with Triple H, following his stint on the black and gold brand.

Riddle is already seen as a prospect on the main roster and looks as though he could be pushed into the United States Championship picture heading into the Royal Rumble.

That being said, having the opportunity to face off against someone like Triple H at WrestleMania could be a huge moment for Riddle and would definitely put him on the map in WWE.

When stars are set to retire from the business, it's traditional to put their last opponent over. Therefore, Triple H could decide to put Riddle over to show that he feels that he has a bright future despite recent reports leading fans to believe otherwise.

#3 Former 14-time WWE World Champion Randy Orton

Randy Orton was the last opponent to stand across a WWE ring from Triple H, back at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in 2019. The former World Champion has changed over the past year and is now at the point where he's becoming hard to control.

Orton has already taken out several legends, which is why Edge is out of action. He recently also burnt a Superstar alive on WWE TV, in the form of "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt.

Randy Orton is getting out of hand, and if The Fiend isn't able to make his return to stop The Legend Killer, it could fall to Triple H to set his former Evolution partner straight.

Both The Game and Randy Orton sit on 14 World Championship reigns, and it would be interesting to see one final bout between the two men to see who the best man really is.

Randy Orton and Triple H have been close throughout their careers, and even though Orton is already an established star, it would mean a lot to both men to be part of The Game's final match together.

#2 Current WWE NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano

Former WWE Champion Triple H has a habit of putting over former NXT talent at WrestleMania. In recent years, he has faced the likes of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, two men who he once welcomed into NXT.

At present, there are several prospects down in WWE developmental who could realistically be called up from NXT to challenge the former 14-time World Champion.

Triple H is more commonly seen as a heel on WWE TV, and if he was to return as a heel this time around then, he could step up to someone like Tomasso Ciampa.

Despite this, Johnny Gargano appears to be the big star emerging from NXT at present. If he were the man to retire Triple H at WrestleMania, that would definitely put the former NXT Champion on the main roster map.

Gargano has already been promoted once and was then sent back down to NXT. This time around, WWE needs to ensure that his stay on the main roster is made much more permanent.

#1 Current WWE star "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt has been part of WWE for almost a decade, and it's only in the past year and a half that the former WWE Champion has finally been able to gain the recognition he deserves.

Wyatt's new character has been able to be part of some interesting feuds with Finn Balor, John Cena, Braun Strowman, and most recently, Randy Orton.

WWE definitely owes Bray Wyatt for the years that he was overlooked in the company. If he's able to find a way past Randy Orton in his current feud, it could be interesting to see Triple H step up to be his next challenger.

Bray Wyatt was the man who defeated John Cena back at WrestleMania 36 in a Firefly Fun House match, and the former World Champion hasn't been seen since.

Triple H could be part of the same kind of match at this year's WrestleMania, where his career highlights would be celebrated, and he could then bow out in style.
