Judging by his social media workout posts, Triple H still has many years left in him as a WWE Superstar.
However, The King of Kings's current wrestling contract with the company expires after WrestleMania 35 in 2019, and given his other duties within both WWE and NXT, it’s not impossible that his in-ring career could soon be coming to an end.
Assuming the 48-year-old doesn’t sign another contract as a performer, what would you like to see him do before he steps out of the squared circle for good?
Check out our top five here - and be sure to leave your thoughts in the comment section!
#5 Face Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman has wreaked havoc everywhere he’s gone since the brand split in July 2016.
He’s broken a ring and a cage with Big Show, thrown Kalisto in a dumpster and off the stage, pushed over an ambulance with Roman Reigns inside, and, forgetting the No Mercy match, chucked Brock Lesnar around like he belongs on 205 Live.
Simply put, Braun is a monster, and he’s the present and future of WWE. Only recently has he started to win major singles matches -- against Roman Reigns at Payback and Great Balls of Fire, and against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins on Raw. A statement victory against the Cerebral Assassin would cement his status as a megastar.
#4 Pass on the pedigree
This has been done before with Seth Rollins, but I feel like the pedigree is so unique as a move that it should be passed down to a star of the new generation.
The Rollins-HHH match at WrestleMania 33 was good but was lacking something in the build-up. It seemed obvious that Seth would win -- and he did -- but how much more important would the match had felt if the pedigree finisher was on the line?
Seth has since stopped using the move, so now is a good time for Triple H to allow someone else to take it on. Maybe that certain someone will be included in another slide…
#3 Retirement match
It’s no secret that Triple H is expected to take over from Vince McMahon as the main man running WWE in the coming years.
But while Vince never had an official retirement as an in-ring performer, last competing in a match against CM Punk in October 2012, it would be fitting for Triple H to bow out by passing the torch (a lot of torches are being passed recently) to one of today’s future stars.
Ric Flair had best friend Shawn Michaels retire him, and Michaels had the legendary Undertaker do the honours. HHH doesn’t have a fellow veteran to have one last match against, so it would be right for him to lose a farewell feud to someone who will represent the company for a long time to come.
#2 Perform on WM kick-off show
This might seem crazy, but think about it!
Nobody actually wants to perform on a PPV kick-off show. Look at The Usos, arguably the top tag team in WWE over the last five years. They have appeared at six WrestleManias but never been on the main card.
Former WWE star Ryback has mentioned since leaving the company that Triple H does not see kick-off show matches as anything less than main-show matches. "The Big Guy" argued that, if HHH feels that way, then maybe he should appear on them.
As bizarre as that sounds, why shouldn’t it happen? Many Superstars have spoken in the past how Vince McMahon would do anything as a performer (cage bumps, hair v hair matches etc), creating a general feeling that in-ring talents should be willing to do the same.
Maybe HHH, the heir to Vince’s throne, could set a similar precedent and show that if he’s happy to appear on kick-off shows, everyone else should be too.
#1 Form a new Evolution stable
Evolution were awesome. You had the veteran Ric Flair, one of the greatest performers in the history of professional wrestling. There was Triple H, the easy-to-hate heel who seemingly was never out of the title picture; Batista, the up-and-comer who nobody wanted to mess with; and then there was Randy Orton, the youngest WWE champion of all time.
Fifteen years on from Evolution’s creation, why not have Triple H form another dominant faction? There were signs of that happening when he aligned with Samoa Joe, and briefly Kevin Owens, in early 2017, but little came of it.
With HHH playing the role of veteran, just like Flair did, perhaps we could see him make a new four-man stable along with three of today’s top and/or future stars. How about Bobby Roode, Tommaso Ciampa and Pete Dunne? Sound good?
