Also, man, I got shivers thinking about what a HHH/Cody match would look like. It'd probably be fine...for the 10 minutes of a 40 minute runtime. It would be the most NWA match ever with both bleeding like Dusty in 1979 Florida aka Muta Scale. Cody gets the win in this Bunkhouse Match, he and Hunter overcome with emotion, shake hands and Cody is declared the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. |

He said he was supposed to have some sort of singles with Gable Steveson before his heart stuff, apparently.
My guess is he would have tried to stretch it to Mania 40 just doing tags or short singles matches, but who knows.

I'm actually surprised he didn't give himself an NXT title reign. Not a reign but I’m surprised he never wrestled at a Takeover. |

Well now you say it's a Bunkhouse Match, I'm sad we didn't get it. |

He would've faced AJ Styles and Cody for sure.

I would have loved a feud with Cody. Also I wish he could have faced AJ Styles.

He would've faced AJ Styles and Cody for sure. There was also something with Wyatt teased back in 2016 when it seemed like Wyatt could have been turning face by going after The Authority. (The whole "Down with the machine!" vignette was another sign from the past.)  |

Even before his health issues he didn't wrestle at Wrestlemania 36 or 37 so I think he was already essentially done. He'd probably have ended up having another couple of matches at some point though. HHH/Cody is such an obvious story that if he was able to surely they'd have done that. He would've faced AJ Styles and Cody for sure. There was also something with Wyatt teased back in 2016 when it seemed like Wyatt could have been turning face by going after The Authority. (The whole "Down with the machine!" vignette was another sign from the past.) There were multiple cool feuds they teased with HHH during that 2016 run. I remember the crowd popping huge for that confrontation. Then the Ambrose stuff which was great. Even a random match with Ziggler on Raw that was way hotter than it had any right to be. They were dead-set on Roman/HHH though which no one really wanted. |

My guess is he'd probably have a couple... but once he took over full time last year he'd probably have officially retired.

A million per cent yes, and I don't doubt there would have been a title reign or two if he could go.
I love NXT Papa H as much as the next person, but let us not forget his politicking legacy.

The fact that we will never get to see Triple H vs. Von Wagner is a crime against all that is good in this world.  |
