Levesque spoke with Vince McMahon to consider becoming a member of his league, but McMahon was not interested at the moment. However, shortly after watching Levesque’s match at Starrcade, McMahon was sufficiently impressed to give him a contract, and Levesque joined the WWE in January 1995. As Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Triple H makes his WWE debut.
He appears in filmed vignettes discussing basic etiquette. Helmsley made his World Wrestling Federation pay-per-view debut at SummerSlam, defeating Bob Holly.
In 1996, his career took a turn for the worse, beginning with a feud with Duke “The Dumpster” Droese following a loss in the 1996 Royal Rumble’s Free for All. Helmsley defeated Mankind in the finals of the 1997 King of the Ring competition. Shawn Michaels, Helmsley, Chyna, and Rick Rude created D-Generation X later that year (DX). This group established a reputation for pushing the boundaries.
This stability was a significant component of the 1990s’ “Attitude Era.” During this period, his ring moniker was abbreviated as Triple H.
Triple H has headlined several important WWE pay-per-view events, including seven times closing the company’s annual flagship event, WrestleMania (tied for the most with Hulk Hogan).
By January 2000, Triple H had called himself “The Game,” meaning that he had ascended to the pinnacle of professional wrestling, and was dubbed “The Cerebral Assassin.” Triple H defeated Big Show to win his third WWF Championship on the January 3 episode of Raw Is War.
He sustained a quad muscle tear in May 20011, which nearly ruined his career. He had been unemployed for eight months. In 2002, he returned to the ring. On January 7, 2002, at Madison Square Garden, Triple H returned to Raw. He won the Royal Rumble and was given an Undisputed WWF Championship match at WrestleMania X8, which he won by defeating Chris Jericho.
Triple H lost the title to Hulk Hogan after holding it for a month.
Triple H founded the Evolution stable alongside Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Batista in February 2003. Triple H and Flair competed for the World Tag Team Championship against Rob Van Dam and Kane but were defeated. From 2003 to 2004, the group was promoted on Raw, and their power peaked during Armageddon
when every member of Evolution departed the pay-per-view with a title. Triple H held the World Heavyweight Championship for the majority of 2003, defending it successfully against Booker T at WrestleMania XIX in a storyline with racist overtones. He lost the title after 280 days to Goldberg in September 2003 at Unforgiven, in about with the stipulation that Goldberg would have to retire if he lost.
Family Background
Triple H married Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of WWE owner Vince McMahon, on October 25, 2003. Their three daughters are Aurora Rose Levesque (born in 2006), Murphy Claire Levesque (born in 2008), and Vaughn Evelyn Levesque (born in 2010). (born in 2010).
He was married to the late wrestler Chyna from 1996 to 2000.

He assumed the job of Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events, and Creative in 2013. Levesque earned a combined income of little more than $1.5 million in 2013 from his front office job and wrestling. Recently, WWE paid Triple H an annual salary of $2.8 million.
Additionally, he owns many million dollars’ worth of WWE shares. More crucially, Triple H’s wife Stephanie owns around 2.5 million shares of WWE, which have been valued as low as $40 million and as high as $225 million in recent years.

WWE Superstar Triple H Announces His Retirement
Triple H, one of the most recognizable professional wrestlers of the previous several decades, announced his retirement from the ring on ESPN’s First Take on Friday.
The WWE icon, whose real name is Paul Levesque, said he had heart failure in September after contracting viral pneumonia and was unsure if he would survive. Levesque, 52, made his WWE debut in 1995 and has won 14 world championships.
After WWE
Today, Triple H works behind the scenes at WWE, where he founded the developmental brand NXT and has garnered plaudits for his financial acumen in professional wrestling.
Triple H compared the WWE to Disney in an interview about life behind the scenes of the WWE. As he stated: “Disney is who we are. We are entertainment… not a one-dimensional commodity. Consider this: ten years ago, Marvel was purely a comic book company. We are, and will continue to be, a rapidly rising global content producer for all forms of entertainment.”
