Triple H

Triple H at WrestleMania

**Paul Michael Levesque** (/*la-VEK*/; born July 27, 1969) is an American business executive, actor, and retired professional wrestler that is currently an active member of the WSC roster under the ring name *"The Game"* **Triple H** and is 1/2 of D-Generation X. Triple H was the first WSC Grand Slam Champion by winning the WSC Tag Team *and* Hardcore Championship's, both in 2020. Triple H since won the Hardcore Championship another time in 2021.

### D-Generation X (2020)

*For simplistic sake, were gonna refer to Triple H as "Hunter". Continue Reading.*

Hunter made his WSC debut in the Tag Team Ladder Match to crown the first WSC Tag Team Champions along with Shawn Michaels as D-Generation X, and faced against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey), The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff), and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). After a long and awesome battle, DX became the first Tag Team Champions.

DX then successfully retained the championships against Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane), followed by retaining against The O.C. (Finn Balor and AJ Styles), The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods) before sadly losing the titles to The Brothers of Destruction (The Undertaker and Kane).

DX tried to get the titles back by facing against The Usos in a Gauntlet Match, but lost. After the match, Hunter betrayed Michaels and bashed his head in and even made him bleed, ending DX and Triple H became solo.

Triple H came back in the November 2020 Royal Rumble at #14 and immediately helped everyone eliminate Viscera. Hunter then went on and eliminated Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Matt Riddle. In the end, Hunter managed to last eliminate Jon Moxley to win the rumble, the Hardcore Championship, AND became the first Grand Slam Champion.

### Championship Reigns (2021)

Hunter then successfully defended the championship against Styles, and even tore the house down for him vs Michaels, which surprisingly ended with Michaels winning.

Hunter then competed in the first WarZone match along with Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Kofi Kingston, Kevin Owens, Kenny Omega, Keith Lee, and Michaels again. In the end, Triple H won the championship again. But then, 3 minutes later The Stage Creator cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and won it.

Hunter tried to get it back from Nathan and Michaels in a Triple Threat Match, but failed. Hunter's latest match came in the 2021 Royal Rumble at #26. During the match, Hunter and Michaels reunited DX, but then both got RKO'd by RK-Bro and got eliminated by Randy Orton.

### Return of DX (2022)

After the 2022 Tag Team Elimination Chamber, Hunter and Michaels returned as DX and confronted The Bloodline. Then it was announced that DX would be facing against The Usos, RK-Bro, and Darby Allin and Willow the Wisp at WrestleMania.

### WrestleMania (2023-present)

On January 2, Nathan announced the date of the WrestleMania match on January 8, which was the first WSC match of 2023. The match begins with each team jumping each other. Not 20 seconds into the match and Randy Orton decides to attempt and break Shawn Michaels's back, as he lunges Michaels into the edge of the announcer's table. Matt Riddle then follows with a Floating Bro to D-X, followed by The Usos performing a Suicide Dive to the two teams, followed by Willow the Wisp performing a Whisper in the Wind to everybody below. Eventually, The Usos end up winning by performing a Double 1-D to Riddle and Darby Allin (with interference by Solo Sikoa).

### Personal Life

From 1996 to 2000, Levesque was in a relationship with fellow wrestler Joan "Chyna" Laurer. What began as an on-screen storyline marriage in 2000 became a real-life romance when Levesque began dating Stephanie McMahon. They were married in Sleepy Hollow, New York, on October 25, 2003. They have three daughters: Aurora Rose Levesque (born 2006), Murphy Claire Levesque (born 2008), and Vaughn Evelyn Levesque (born 2010).

In 2004, Levesque released a book titled *Making the Game: Triple H's Approach to a Better Body*. It is mostly devoted to bodybuilding advice but also includes some autobiographical information, memoirs, and opinions.

A lifelong teetotaler, Levesque was automatically the designated driver in the 1990s when partying with wrestlers such as Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash, who were well known for their alcohol and drug use. He is an avid fan of English rock band Motörhead, who performed three different entrance themes for him over his career, and was good friends with the band's frontman Lemmy until Lemmy's death in December 2015. He sported Lemmy-inspired facial hair during the early 2000s and spoke at Lemmy's funeral on January 9, 2016. His other close friends include NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He is a supporter of English football team West Ham United FC.

In September 2021, WWE reported that Levesque underwent a procedure at Yale New Haven Hospital following a "cardiac event" caused by a genetic heart issue. Two months later, unnamed inside sources told wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer that the incident was "very, very, very serious". During an appearance on *First Take* on March 25, 2022, Levesque gave his first interview since being hospitalized. He revealed that he had viral pneumonia and inflamed lungs, which worsened over time. He said that his wife noticed he was coughing up blood, so he went to the hospital, where doctors discovered fluid in his lungs and around his heart; they informed him that his heart was working at a fraction of its full strength, and that he was in a "bad" state of heart failure. He also said there were moments where he thought he would die and confirmed that the event forced him to retire from wrestling: "I was nose-diving and sort of at the one-yard line of where you don't want to be really, for your family and your future. There's moments in there when they're putting you out for stuff and you think, 'Is this it? Do you wake up from this?' That's tough to swallow and makes you think differently. [...] I will never wrestle again. First of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest, which, you know, probably not a good idea for me to get zapped on live TV."
