Triple H has been making headlines for several reasons over the years, but recently, he made headlines due to his swim shorts and his weight.

Back in August 2025, photos emerged of Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and their daughters on a yacht in Greece. While fans were happy to see him spend time with his family, some pointed out the weight gain and change in physique.

Now, many fans have come to his defence and claimed that the man was in his mid-50s and possibly couldn’t have the same physique that he did back in his prime.

Triple H revealed his reaction to the weight-gain comments

Recently, The Cerebral Assassin appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. During the conversation, he was asked about the swim shorts he wore on the day he was photographed.

The Game revealed that he only wore those shorts on special occasions, since he had been spotted wearing the same pair decades ago as well.

Furthermore, Triple H revealed that once he saw the photographs and the comments, he was inspired to get back in the gym. While McAfee pointed out that he is 56 years old and has had heart surgeries, WWE’s CCO did not want to use those as an excuse.

It’s also inspired me and the President’s Council of Physical Fitness to get my ass in the gym. Look at it. I look like an olive with four toothpicks sticking out.

How old are you?, asked Pat McAfee.

Uh 56. 56.

And how many heart surgeries have you had?, further enquired McAfee.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I’ve got some excuses to make there, but like I’m I’m not going to.

On another note, The Game also revealed that the yacht was well within the a mile into the ocean, so whoever clicked the photograph must have had a “cannon” of a camera!
