Triple H Is Thankful He’s Not Wrestling At WrestleMania Given Everything He’s Had To Deal With

Triple H is the only man who can get a demotion and have more work to do. At least, that’s what he said on the March 13 episode of WWE SmackDown.

And Triple H has been busier than ever this year with the coronavirus pandemic and WWE running shows out of the Performance Center. With his current schedule, “The Game” is thankful that he doesn’t have a match booked for WrestleMania 36.

“Right now, I am full-time office. I wasn’t originally scheduled to be in this year’s WrestleMania anyways, every year as time goes by, it gets more and more hectic for me and getting in the ring becomes an added burden. Especially this year, with the way things all turned out and what we had to accomplish, I was very thankful that I wasn’t scheduled to be in the ring this year. It would have been almost virtually impossible for me to deal with everything else that was happening,” Triple H told ESPN.

This marks the first time since WrestleMania 23 that Triple H hasn’t competed at the biggest event of the year.

As fans know, this year’s WrestleMania will take place in front of no fans at the WWE Performance Center and multiple locations. When asked about superstars wrestling in front of no fans, Triple H said, “It’s tough. The WWE Universe, our fanbase, is the secret sauce of what we do. We’re one of the first interactive television shows because we encourage fans to bring signs, they make their own chants. There’s a sense of community in the WWE with our fanbase. That community, their energy, that’s what drives our performers to put on the show that they do. I can tell you that what we do is very physical. That physicality hurts a lot more when there’s no one there egging you on and there’s no adrenaline from the fans. Our talent has just stepped up to another level. It’s been impressive to see their level of dedication and passion to what to give back to fans who can’t come to arena, but are at home watching.”
