Triple H on Wrestling Again, Relationship with The Rock, and Wrestlemania

Facebook Live held a recent interview with Triple H discussing if he wants to wrestle again, his relationship with The Rock, and the possibility of a future Wrestlemania match with The Rock.

On the topic of if Triple H will wrestle again, Triple H stated he wants to but it won’t happen any time soon.

“Yes, but you have to watch to see. Eventually, I will get back in the ring. Somebody always calls me out.”

On the topic of his relationship with The Rock, Triple H stated it is more out of mutual respect than being an actual close friend of The Rock. He complimented The Rock’s competitive nature since it helped motivate his own wrestling career and outlook on life.

“See, it’s always competitive with Rock and I from the very start of our careers,” Triple H said. “Now he’s using Dwayne Johnson. They call me Paul Levesque. It’s all competitive. He grew a beard. I grew a beard. It’s all competitive. Yeah, we’re just… it’s funny, he and I over the years we’ve had this interesting rivalry at a time in our lives when we were really trying to establish ourselves and make something. It’s what made WWE great and it’s what makes WWE great to this day, it’s that competitive nature.

We’ve come to a point where we appreciate that competitive nature, but to this day, if he posts something at 4 a.m. on Instagram, he was working out, and I’m like, ‘oh man, I can’t take the day off today. I’ve got to train too. Rock trained.’ Yeah, I don’t know what it is. We’ve laughed about it with each other, but there’s still something about our relationship with each other. We get along great, talk business and the things that he does intersecting with WWE.”

While discussing more about The Rock, Triple H revealed WWE has been trying for several years to get a match done at Wrestlemania between the two. He mentioned The Rock’s busy schedule as being the main obstacle to why it has yet to happen.

“About two years ago, he and I did a backstage promo with each other where we talked about WrestleMania and the competitive nature of that and it lit the internet about the possibility of it. It’s something we’ve discussed. It’s just making schedules work. He’s pretty busy – me too – so it’s making schedules work. But look, right place, right time, I’ll dance one more time with ‘The Great One’, Rock.”
