Now a part of AEW roster, Adam Cole, in an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, reflected on his relationship with Triple H and what he felt on his retirement. According to the former NXT champion Triple H had a profound impact on his career and was very dismayed over his retirement from the wrestling industry.

“He was a huge, huge mentor to me. So to get that news was really disheartening because I know how much professional wrestling means to a guy like Hunter. However, at the same time, his health is the most important thing and his family is the most important thing. So I’m glad that he’s able to take care of himself and make sure he needs to do what he has to do to get on that track”
