Triple H’s last PPV was against Batista at WrestleMania 35. He defeated him in a No Holds Barred match. However, his final televised match was against Randy Orton at WWE Super ShowDown held on June 7th, 2019.

But, HHH’s last match was against Robert Roode and Samoa Joe in a tag team match alongside Shinsuke Nakamura during WWE’s Japan Tour in June 2019.
