WWE revealed some potentially scary news earlier this year when it informed fans Triple H had undergone surgery following a cardiac event. The details surrounding exactly what happened to The Game remain unclear. He has been off TV ever since, and before that in fairness, as well as absent from NXT tapings, presumably so he can continue his recovery at home.

The Game Is Doing Great

Very little has been revealed in the more than two months since WWE broke the news that Triple H would be undergoing heart surgery. The Game tweeted fans a couple of weeks later, letting them know he was okay and thanking them for their support. Talk Sport's Alex McCarthy has now shared a further update after speaking with Stephanie McMahon over Survivor Series weekend.

When McCarthy asked McMahon how her husband is doing, she reportedly informed him that The Cerebral Assassin is “doing great”. Not much, but at least it's positive and a sign that Triple H is recovering well from whatever the event was and the surgery he needed to fix it. No word on if and when Triple H will return to NXT to oversee the brand.

NXT Has Changed Since Triple H Has Been Away

Speaking of which, NXT has changed drastically since The Game has been away. The entirety of NXT 2.0 has taken place since Triple H underwent surgery. It's unclear exactly how much of the revamp he would have been involved in. The launch of NXT 2.0 was clearly in the works for a while before the changes were made, so it's entirely possible The Game wouldn't have seen the drastic alterations for the first time when they aired on TV like the rest of us.

As for Triple H's future, that remains shrouded in mystery, and rightly so. It only concerns Triple H, his family, and WWE until those parties are willing to share any additional information. There have been rumors that Triple H won't wrestle again, and although that has not been confirmed, it seems likely. The 14-time World Champion is 52 and was winding his in-ring career down before all this. The need for heart surgery may well be an excuse for him to officially call time on competing in the ring.
