#5 Triple H retires from in-ring action
WWE COO and Hall of Famer Triple H has played a huge part in the transition of WWE to the new era. Currently spearheading the production of NXT, the King of Kings has been one of the biggest Superstars in the history of the company and is the frontrunner to lead the company if\when Vince McMahon decides to walk away.
Last year at WrestleMania 35 Triple H took on Batista, and put his career on the line in the process. While The Game came out victorious against his former Evolution partner, he would later mention in his WWE Network special that he might be close to the end of his in-ring career.
Recently, in a conference call ahead of NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool II, Hunter mentioned his desire of taking on some current NXT Superstars. However, he added that his age won't allow him to do that.
"Sometimes I look at the talent and I think, oh man, if I was 25 and could step in the ring with them – but then the reality quickly comes back to me. 'You’re not 25 and you can’t do that!'"
2020 might be the year when Triple H decides to hang up his wrestling boots. The best way to do this would be to have him put over a current Superstar at WrestleMania 36. Someone like Finn Balor would be an ideal choice and could push him back to the top of the WWE mountain.
