WWE icon Triple H has opened up about his retirement from the professional wrestling industry, saying he never plans to enter the ring again.

Triple H noted that he will be stepping out of the ring after suffering a cardiac event last year. He was interviewed by ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, according to a KTLA News report.

Triple H said that there were moments where the doctors are "putting you out for stuff," and he would think if he would wake up from that.

He became emotional and said that it was tough to swallow.

Triple H, whose real name is Paul Michael Levesque, said that he first contracted viral pneumonia and started to cough up blood, which pushed him to seek medical attention.

He made his professional entry in the ring in 1992 against Flying Tony Roy, under the name Terry Ryzing. He has headlined several major WWE pay-per-view events, which included the company's flagship annual event, WrestleMania.
