Triple H will leave WWE when he turns 65, claims former superstar

Ever since Triple H took over WWE NXT, rumours have been going around that WWE CEO Vince McMahon is grooming Triple H so that The Game will be ready to take over from him in the future. However, former WWE superstar Ryback recently put those expectations in doubt by claiming that Triple H could soon leave the promotion. Ryback stated during a live stream that he’s been told by credible people that Triple H plans on leaving WWE once he turns 65 years old. Ryback then slammed Vince McMahon and claimed that the WWE CEO thinks he could live till 100, but that’s not going to happen. According to Ryback, Vince McMahon used to take steroids in the past and those things will harm him as he gets older and older.

"I think with his steroid use and everything, I don't think it happens. He's around the age when that stuff really hits you and I think we've seen with the way he's aged, I just don't see it ending well personally with him and his history and abuse of those things. I don't know, we'll see though," Ryback said on his YouTube live stream.

Many fans disagreed with Ryback’s claims as Triple H has himself admitted in multiple interviews he loves doing backstage work for the company. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross also admitted earlier that Triple H is likely to become Vince McMahon's successor. Jim Ross told Business Insider that Vince McMahon is preparing Triple H to take over the business.

Ross believes Triple H will be a great successor because he stays calm under pressure and knows everything about the wrestling business. “He didn’t drink. No drugs. He looked to be a lifer early on, and he got a lot of that from being a fan all his life. So, I think he's probably the heir apparent,” Jim Ross stated.
