WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Major star returning soon? Legend's heartfelt post about Nick Khan, Roman Reigns receives praise (December 13, 2021)

#2. Note on Triple H's in-ring future in WWE

A few months ago, WWE EVP Triple H (real name — Paul Levesque) underwent a successful medical procedure after suffering a cardiac event. While updates since then have noted that he is doing well, reports suggest one shouldn't expect him to wrestle on television anytime soon.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote about the remaining star attractions in Vince McMahon's company. Among names like The Undertaker and Steve Austin, Meltzer briefly mentioned Triple H's in-ring status:

"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.""

The Game had pushed the pause button on his wrestling career long before the recent cardiac event. His last proper televised match went down on June 7, 2019, at WWE's Super ShowDown event. Randy Orton defeated him in a one-on-one contest at the pay-per-view.

A few days later, on June 29, Triple H wrestled at a live event in Japan. He has not taken part in another match since then, excluding the bizarre, inconclusive melee against Orton earlier this year.
