Stephanie McMahon Says Almost Losing Triple H Changed Her Entire Outlook on Life

Stephanie McMahon opened up in a vulnerable moment revealing how her husband Triple H’s terrifying heart issue completely shifted her perspective on what truly matters.

While speaking with Natalya on her What’s Your Story podcast about trauma, family, and the emotional toll of wrestling life, Stephanie got personal about the time she nearly lost Paul Levesque—better known to WWE fans as Triple H. She explained that the situation forced her to re-evaluate everything in her life, including the things she once stressed over in her marriage.

“When I almost lost Paul… that’s my husband, that’s my everything… it just really reframed my whole perspective on what mattered. And I don’t really care if he takes out the trash or not. It’s been enough time now where I’m starting to get annoyed again…”

Stephanie didn’t shy away from how serious the health scare was. The heart condition her husband suffered from has a nickname that speaks volumes.

“It’s called the Widowmaker for a reason.”

Triple H experienced a cardiac event in 2021 that forced him into retirement from in-ring competition. Since then, he’s taken on a lead role behind the scenes in WWE, while Stephanie has stepped back from her corporate duties breifly. Still, the couple remains deeply involved in each other’s lives and the wrestling world. And now we know just how close Stephanie came to facing the unthinkable.

This honest reflection shows the human side of one of WWE’s most powerful couples. Sometimes, it takes a life-altering moment to strip everything down to what’s really important
