Triple H Reportedly Held Speech at Performance Center Announcing His Return to NXT
Paul “Triple H” Levesque reportedly visited and held a speech at WWE’s Performance Center this past Wednesday in Orlando, Florida, according to Post Wrestling.
John Pollock reported that his sources stated that Levesque held a speech at the Performance Center stating that he was “back” but was vague in terms of what that means based on his wording. Pollock stated that “Of the people I heard from, Levesque stated ‘he’s back’ – it is unknown what that entails but that was the wording I was given.”
The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Live that his sources confirmed Pollock’s report and stated that the reason for Levesque’s visit was for business-related reasons that he could not say for why yet.
