Did WWE Legend Triple H Officially Retire?

‘The Game’ Triple H is arguably the best heel in WWE history. Triple H quickly rose through the ranks during the attitude era. And when the Ruthless Aggression Era arrived, HHH had become one of the locker room leaders.

With time, The Cerebral Assassin slowly moved away from regular in-ring competition and started looking after the backstage duties. In the past few years, HHH has mostly wrestled at just the major events and has dedicated most of his time to his brain-child NXT.

In September 2021, Triple H underwent treatment at Yale-New Haven Hospital following a cardiac event caused by a genetic heart issue. A few months later, it was revealed that his condition is very serious and that he might retire from in-ring competition.

Can Triple H be considered as a retired WWE wrestler?

The Cerebral Assassin underwent treatment for a cardiac event last year. It was later revealed by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Letter that it is unlikely Triple H will ever wrestle again.

Dave said, “I wouldn’t expect HHH to ever wrestle again, although it is possible he may do one retirement match if he feels the need to leave on his own terms and doctors will clear him, but that’s not likely to be for a long time and he hasn’t even returned to behind-the-scenes work yet.” (H/T The Sportster)

The rehabilitation process for Triple H’s cardiac event is very slow, and he needs to take a rest to recover. Triple H can have a retirement match if he wants, but only after the doctors clear him to do so.

The Game missed two WrestleMania in a row. He had his last match against Randy Orton on RAW in early 2021. It will be a hard pill to swallow for Hunter if he doesn’t get to have a retirement match to bid adieu to his fans.
