WWE legend Triple H - real name Paul Levesque - reveals that he has wrestled his last match after undergoing heart surgery last year.

WWE legend Triple H has revealed that he has taken the decision to retire from in-ring competition, officially bringing an end to his glittering career.

While Triple H - real name Paul Levesque - has only wrestled part time for a number of years, a lack of clarity has led to question marks over potential future moves.

However, the 52-year-old has now confirmed that he has participated in his last match, a consequence of suffering a cardiac arrest and undergoing heart surgery in September.

Speaking to Stephen A Smith on ESPN's First Take, Levesque said: "As far as in-ring, which I get a lot, I'm done.

"I will never wrestle again. First of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest, and it's not a good idea for me to get zapped on live TV."

During a career which spanned well in excess of two decades, Triple H can count 14 world titles, two Royal Rumbles and headlining numerous WrestleMania's among his accolades.
