It had been reported that WWE legend Triple H had to undergo surgery due to a cardiac event. As per Dave Meltzer, the cardiac scare was 'very serious' and there is now word on when Triple H may resume his duties in WWE. He also stated that it is likely that he would be given a new role in WWE upon his return so that he has a less stressful life.
