Paul Michael Levesque[5] (born July 27, 1969),[6] better known by his ring name Triple H (an abbreviation of the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley), is an American professional wrestler, corporate executive, and actor. He is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion in his ninth reign; the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative of WWE; and the founder and senior producer of NXT. He is married into the McMahon family, which maintains majority ownership of WWE.[1] In addition to his corporate role, Levesque makes regular appearances on WWE television as an authority figure and wrestler.
Levesque entered several bodybuilding contests after graduating high school in 1987. He commenced his professional wrestling career in the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) in 1992, under the ring name Terra Ryzing, and won his first championship, the IWF Heavyweight Championship. He joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1994, where he was soon repackaged asJean-Paul Lévesque, a French Canadian aristocrat.[6] In 1995, Levesque moved to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), where he became Hunter Hearst Helmsley and, later, Triple H.[7] In 1997, Triple H co-founded the influential D-Generation Xstable, which became a major element of the WWF's "Attitude Era". After winning his first WWF Championship and beginning a storyline marriage with Stephanie McMahon in 1999, Triple H became a regular main event wrestler (in 2003, Levesque married McMahon in real life). Over the next two decades, he would win a total of 14 world championships and lead stables The McMahon-Helmsley Faction, Evolution, and The Authority, with whom he continues to perform.[4][8] From 2010 onwards, Triple H began wrestling on a part-time basis as he took on a greater behind-the-scenes role within WWE.
In the course of his career, Levesque has held a total of 25 championships, including nine WWF/E Championships and five World Heavyweight Championships.[9][10] He is the seventh Triple Crown Champion and the second Grand Slam Champion in WWF/E history. Triple H was also the winner of the 1997 King of the Ring tournament, the 2002 and 2016 Royal Rumbles, and has headlinedWrestleMania, WWE's flagship pay-per-view, six times (WrestleMania 2000, WrestleMania X8, WrestleMania XX, WrestleMania 21,WrestleMania 22 and WrestleMania XXV); he will headline the event for a seventh time at 2016's WrestleMania 32,[11] thus tying Hulk Hogan's record.[12]
Outside of professional wrestling, he has made numerous guest appearances in film and on television, including the lead role in theWWE Studios production The Chaperone
