On Tuesday, Triple H underwent surgery to repair a torn right pectoral muscle.

As seen at last Friday’s (November 2, 2018) WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Fahd International Stadium on the WWE Network, Triple H and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels beat Kane and The Undertaker in a tag team match, which ended up serving as the main event.

“The Game” announced the news in a tweet that was posted on his official Twitter account. The operation was successfully completed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama.

Triple H tweeted the following by writing:

Out of surgery, happy to report all is well. Thanks to excellent medical care of Dr. Dugas and his team and all the well wishes, messages, tweets, and texts I got over the weekend.
Road to recovery starts… NOW. #GameTime

As of this writing, there’s no official word yet on when Triple H could be back in the ring to compete again but the expected timeline is that he’ll be on the sidelines from 5-9 months. He suffered the injury at Crown Jewel.

It’s an unfortunate injury due to the rumors going around that he could face Batista at WrestleMania 35 on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium. Obviously, this injury may have put these potential plans in jeopardy. We wish Triple H a speedy recovery.
