Before announcing his in-ring retirement in 2022, WWE CCO Triple H traveled across the world to wrestle during his prime years. Recently, former star Jinder Mahal reminisced about his most unforgettable match outside the United States, where he shared the ring with The Game himself. Their encounter was part of one of India's largest-ever wrestling events, surpassing all expectations.

On December 9, 2017, The Modern Day Maharaja locked horns with Hunter in their only encounter at the Live Supershow at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. Even though the former United States Champion didn't secure a big win in his homeland, he earned respect from Triple H.

In an interview with Casual Conversations with The Classic, Jinder Mahal was asked about his experience main eventing a live event with The King of Kings in India. The former WWE Champion described his one-time bout against The Game as a "bucket list" experience.

"Amazing, like a bucket list match for myself. I think one of Triple H's last matches ever also. It was amazing and Triple H wasn't an active wrestler at that time," said Mahal. [From 51:28 to 51:40]

WWE Hall of Famer reflects on his current relationship with Triple H

Former two-time Universal Champion Goldberg recently spoke about his bond with The Game after being released from WWE. Triple H and Da Man have squared off against each other numerous times in the early 2000s.

During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Bill Goldberg mentioned that he hasn't spoken to Paul Levesque in a long time and also praised his work as the Chief Content Officer.

"I haven’t talked to Triple H in a long time. It was extremely rocky in the beginning. But I think I think we're at a good place. Man. I have nothing but respect for him, man. He's turned an interesting situation into a very successful situation and very profitable and I'm proud of it man. Good job," he said.
