Breaking: WWE Legend Triple H Announces Decision On In-Ring Career

On Friday, WWE legend Triple H appeared on ESPN’s First Take to provide an update on his health. He announced that his in-ring career is officially over due to serious heart issues.

During his interview on ESPN, Triple H revealed that he has a defibrillator in his chest due to a cardiac event that occurred last year.

“I had viral pneumonia. My lungs were inflamed, and as the next couple of days went on and I got home, it got increasingly worse. My wife [WWE executive Stephanie McMahon] saw some blood and stuff that I was coughing up, and I went and got checked, and it was coming from the viral pneumonia, but I had fluid in my lungs,” Triple H said, via Bleacher Report. “I had some fluid around my heart so they followed up on it and did an EKG and Echo and everything. Basically, the way your heart pumps out 55-60 percent of your ejection fraction is a good number. I was at 30 percent. I got a quick text message saying don’t take time, pack a bag real quick and head to the emergency room and I’ll fill you in on the way. So, by the time I got to the emergency room, my ejection fraction had gone down to 22 percent, which, ya know, I was in heart failure.”

Triple H added that his condition was so rough that he was “at the 1-yard line.”

Although this is a sad day for WWE fans everywhere, all that matters right now is that Triple H does what he needs to do in order to remain in good health.

Triple H will finish his wrestling career as a 14-time World Champion. Not only was he one of the best individual performers in the business, he was a member of powerful factions like D-Generation X and Evolution.

We wish Triple H all the best as he enters a full-time executive role.
