Triple H on why he is thankful for not competing at WrestleMania 36

Modified Mar 30, 2020 06:52 GMT

WWE EVP Triple H was a guest on the latest edition of ESPN's SportsCenter. The Game discussed several aspects of the upcoming WrestleMania 36 event and opened up on not being a part of the show in an in-ring capacity.

When Triple H was asked whether he is now a full-time front-office guy or if he's planning to come back to the squared circle, here's what he had to say in response:

Right now, I'm a full-time office guy. It's funny, ironically I wasn't scheduled to be in this year's WrestleMania anyway. Every year as time goes by, it gets more and more hectic for me. Getting in the ring just becomes an added burden. Especially this year, with the way things turned out, and what we have to accomplish, I was very thankful I wasn't scheduled to be in the ring this year, because it would have been almost virtually impossible to do everything else that's happening.

The Game speaks on not wrestling at The Show of Shows this year:

The last time Triple H didn't wrestle at The Grandest Stage of Them All was in 2007. He was out with an injury at the time and made his return later that year at SummerSlam. The Game took on former Evolution team-mate Batista at last year's WrestleMania and defeated The Animal in a hard-fought match.

With the coronavirus pandemic affecting WrestleMania this year, Triple H already has a lot on his plate. After being a part of 12 consecutive WrestleMania events, Triple H certainly deserves a night off at this year's show.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
