5 Top WWE rumors from this week: Reason for Roman Reigns' absence, How much Kevin Owens will earn from new contract (December 18th, 2021)

#2 Update on Triple H's WWE future

14-time world champion Triple H is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. However, according to a report by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is unlikely that The Game will wrestle again.

"I doubt Paul Levesque will be wrestling and Undertaker is done, although Undertaker and Austin are on huge money deals (as Ric Flair was) just to keep them part of the promotion 'forever,''' said Dave Meltzer.

Triple H last wrestled on an episode of Monday Night RAW earlier this year where he faced Randy Orton in the main event. After suffering a cardiac issue earlier this year, The Game has also been away from his backstage duties in the company.

#1 Truth behind rumors of Jeff Hardy trying to get himself fired from WWE

Jeff Hardy's release has caused a lot of controversy due to the way it all happened. Things went to a whole new level when there were claims that Hardy was trying to get himself fired from WWE.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, sources close to The Charismatic Enigma have denied these rumors, even calling it an 'absurd take'.

"It seems silly to address this at all, but according to those close with him I spoke to -- Jeff Hardy wasn't trying to get fired from WWE. He wasn't "working to get out of his deal." The exact phrase I was given was that it was an 'absurd take,'" wrote Sapp.

It is to be seen what is next for Hardy after his release from the promotion. The most common answer is him joining his brother Matt Hardy in All Elite Wrestling. Only time will tell if and when that happens.
