Triple H was treated in hospital following a 'cardiac event.'
WWE announced via its official website and social media accounts that the Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy Development & COO, and 14-Time World Champion Triple H, had undergone a successful procedure at a local Connecticut hospital last week.
The official statement on Twitter read:
"Paul Levesque, a.k.a. Triple H, underwent a successful procedure last week at Yale New Haven Hospital following a cardiac event. The episode was caused by a genetic heart issue and Paul is expected to make a full recovery."
No further details have been released at this time. Additionally, there is no word yet on how (or if) this has affected operations within WWE, or the possible outcomes of it.
On behalf of everyone at Sportskeeda Wrestling, we wish Triple H a speedy recovery!
Will Triple H wrestle in a WWE ring again?
Regardless of age, The King of Kings Triple H will always have a strong presence on WWE television, and will always be seen as a main event attraction whenever he participates. However, the Ceribrial Assasion has opted not to get in-between the ropes.
It was reported that the current WWE United States Champion, Damian Priest, had jokingly requested a match with Triple H at WrestleMania 37:
"‘I make jokes from time to time. Like, hey, Mania – Hunter didn’t have a match, and that was the first time all these legends, none of them [on the show]. I was like, 'I mean, did you bring your gear? Because you can have a match, I’m right here!' He started laughing and said, 'You’re on a list of people that have asked me that.' I was like, 'I bet, I can imagine.' He gets it all the time by guys being like, 'Hey you wanna work? You wanna wrestle?'," said Damian Priest. [h/t Metro]
There were also rumors that Triple H was being positioned to face The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles at WrestleMania 37 as well. But he revealed in April in an interview that he had turned down the match himself:
"When he first came to me, I said, ‘AJ, I’m not going to tell you no. Personally, I’d love to work with you and at this point, you can carry me to something.’ So, I’d love it. The personal side of it, the performer side of it, I would love nothing more, but the reality is—I’m not going to have the bandwidth or availability schedule-wise to be able to pull that off. He would come to me every week or every other week when I would see him and say, ‘How’s that bandwidth coming? You going to be able to make this happen?’ I’d say I’m not, but I’m flattered by that—I really am—and I’m humbled by it." (H/T WrestleZone)
