After surviving a life-threatening health scare in 2021, WWE legend Paul “Triple H” Levesque has officially confirmed that he’s retired from in-ring competition.
The 52-year-old Levesque made the announcement during an interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. It’s the first time Levesque has opened up about his health since WWE announced in September that he had undergone a successful procedure following a “cardiac event.”
“As far as in-ring, which I get a lot, I’m done,” Levesque told Smith. “I will never wrestle again. First of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest, which, probably not a good idea for me to get zapped on live TV.
