What’s next?
Triple H lost his most recent match to Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania 33 and has now returned to his role as a backstage executive in the WWE.
As is customary of Triple H every year, fans can expect the Game to return to the ring in the latter half of this year, particularly as the WWE gets closer to the Royal Rumble in early 2018.
Author’s take
Triple H is a member of the Kliq and truly is one of the most powerful figures in sports-entertainment today. The man rose to the top with his wit and his skills and it’s great to see him being acknowledged by the BGCA.
