WWE superstar Mustafa Ali shared a heartwarming story about Triple H as it was learned the legendary pro wrestler was recovering from a heart issue.

Ali tweeted a story about when he was performing on WWE’s 205 Live brand and asked Triple H, whose real name is Paul Levesque and went by Hunter Hearst Helmsley for a time on the brand, if he could visit his wife in Chicago when she was one month away from having their child.

"When I was on 205 Live, I had to relocate to Orlando. My wife, who was pregnant at the time, stayed in Chicago. About a month before the due date, I asked Hunter if could visit home for ‘a week.’ Hunter told me, ‘Don’t visit. Move back home. Be a father.’ Hunter is a good man," Ali tweeted.

WWE revealed Wednesday Triple H had a heart procedure last week after a cardiac event.

"Paul Levesque, a.k.a. Triple H, underwent a successful procedure last week at Yale New Haven Hospital following a cardiac event. The episode was caused by a genetic heart issue and Paul is expected to make a full recovery," the company said in a statement.

Triple H, 52, has been with the company since 1995 and was a full-time performer until 2019. Since 2020 he’s made sporadic appearances in the ring. He wrestled Randy Orton in a match in January 2021, but it ended in a no contest and started Orton’s feud with Bray Wyatt.

Triple H has also been the founder and executive producer of WWE’s NXT brand.
