One of the legends in WWE history, Triple H, has clarified his future in wrestling, assuring that he almost died due to a heart condition, so he will not return to wrestle again.

Paul Levesque, Triple H's real name, visited Stephen A. Smith on his show "Stephen A's World," and narrated how his life was in danger to the point that he now has a defibrillator in his chest, which led him to decide to say goodbye to the ring.

"As far as in-ring, I'm done. I will never wrestle again, first of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest, and it's probably not wise for me to get zapped on live TV," Paul told Smith.

How did Triple H come close to dying?

In late 2021 Levesque's life was at risk after suffering from viral pneumonia and coughing up blood, as his wife, WWE scion Stephanie McMahon, realized. After medical tests such as an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were performed on him, it was learned that his heart was not pumping enough.

"I got a quick text message saying don't take time, pack a bag real quick and head to the emergency room," the WWE legend said.

Triple H's heart was pumping so low that the doctors' diagnosis was not encouraging, although fortunately he saved his life.

"I was nosediving and was sorta at the one-yard line of where you don't want to be," Levesque said.

Triple H would rather retire than say goodbye to his family

Although Triple H may have to end his successful three-decade stint in wrestling, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer knows that all of his success in the sport doesn't compare to the importance of his wife and three daughters to him. The Game, as he is also known, is not ready to die yet.

"We have three young girls - 15, 13, 11. Suddenly I come home, I'm a little bit sick, and their dad, who's strong always, is in the hospital. I don't know if they understood the consequences of it but there's moments when you think 'This is it.' Do you wake up?

"That's tough to swallow, and it makes you think differently - I'm sure, as (Smith) come out of your COVID scare - it makes you feel differently about life. It doesn't make you any less driven for the things that you do, but it certainly makes you appreciate what you have more," Triple H said.
