As we reported this afternoon, Triple H has officially announced his retirement from the ring. The WWE Hall of Famer was forced to undergo surgery in September of last year due to a congenital heart problem.
Since then, he has stayed away from his work within the company, such as the direction of NXT, a responsibility that ended up in the hands of Shawn Michaels.
Triple H promised to provide an update on his health status today, which ultimately resulted in a statement announcing his final retirement as a professional wrestler.
It remains to be seen if he will exercise his executive duties within the company again, and in what way, especially if we take into account that in recent months the company has released personnel related to him.
Meanwhile, and since the news was known, the world of wrestling has wanted to thank Triple H for his contribution to the business. We leave you with some of these reactions.
