Although he won't be stepping inside the squared circle to compete, Paul "Triple H" Levesque will still be a very crucial component in the success of WWE going forward.
As noted, "The Game" appeared on ESPN First Take on Friday and announced his in-ring WWE retirement.
In addition to that announcement, the behind-the-scenes WWE executive also spoke about what he will be focusing on as his career moves forward with the company.
During the discussion, Levesque spoke about how he will still be very much involved with many aspects of the company outside of the ring, most notably helping with the development of future WWE Superstars.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this topic.
“My foot is not off the gas. In some manner, I have to step back a little bit, I’m still in recovery and my endurance is not quite what it used to be before. I’m back in the office. I’m fully focused on recruiting and developing our talent for the future. Whether that’s at the Performance Center, finding the next young stud that’s out there, male or female, Gable Steveson, two-time NCAA Champion, Gold Medal at the Olympics, his next step is with WWE. With us, it’s finding that and creating that future. That’s the biggest focus for me. As we move forward from there, it’s making sure WWE is a success for generations to come.”
