Officially, Triple H is still under contract to WWE as a performer. While he hasn't been in the ring in a while (a brief moment with Randy Orton in January of 2021), he's not a wrestler any longer. That part of his career is most likely over.
That said, while he's not a regular, his current performer contract runs out on March 30, 2022. It's possible he's not going to have that contract renewed and stick to a behind-the-scenes role moving forward. If that's the case, there's some buzz that perhaps he could plan a bit of a farewell wrestling tour leading up to the expiry of his current deal.
With WWE having released their Schedule 14A paperwork, which includes the length of Triple H’s contract, he could always sign an extension, but what if neither side is terribly interested in doing so?
Speaking on SportsNation, Triple H has said that he'd like to do a retirement tour to wind down his in-ring career. He said he wants to revisit iconic arenas such as Madison Square Garden and The O2 Arena and he expressed an interest in thanking fans in each building one last time. He said, “And it’s not even as much about the wrestling so much one more time. It’s about getting in the ring and tip the cap and saying thank you."
Triple H explained that if he did that and it all ended with one final match at WrestleMania, that would be pretty cool. He explained:
“Now ask me that if I’m traveling from place and I may go ‘I don’t need to do that!’ But in my head, if I’m looking for something cool, that would be it. Have that one little farewell tour, make the global loop, then come back and do one big show here and call it a career. That would be interesting to me.”
Who Would He Wrestle?
If this is something that he does on the way out, who should he face? We know AJ Styles has been bugging him for a match down the road. That seems like a given. He mentioned Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre and others.
But, he said he's also looked at the NXT roster. “ I’m like ‘Balor, Ciampa, Gargano, Pete Dunne.’ There’s so much talent that’s out there that are incredible performers that I’d love to work with."
