WWE boss Triple H has reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss tonight’s episode of Raw.

The former world champion – whose real name is Paul Levesque – took over the company’s creative direction following his father-in-law Vince McMahon’s retirement, and currently serves as chief content officer while leading the talent relations division.

Metro.co.uk understands that Triple H has tested positive for Covid and he’ll miss tonight’s episode.

As reported by PWInsider, he’s said he is ‘feeling well and in good spirits’ but under the company’s current protocol, he will be away from his in-person duties.

Tonight’s televised show will be the first without him since he took charge, but it’s said he’s been in contact with producers and writers about how things should go down.

It’s hoped he’ll be back as soon as he tests negative.

Earlier this year, Triple H announced he would never wrestle again after suffering a terrifying cardiac event in September 2021, which led to him taking a step back from his work until this summer.

Back in March, Triple H opened up on his battle with viral pneumonia and heart failure – which he revealed was caused by a genetic issue – and explained he now has a defibrillator in his chest.

Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take, he said at the time: ‘I was nose diving and at the one-yard line of where you don’t want to be. For your family and your future, when they tell you it’s 99%, it gets real. We have three young girls; 15, 13, and 11 [years old].

‘Suddenly, I come home and I’m a little bit sick, and their dad, who is strong, always, suddenly is in the hospital.

‘I don’t know if they understood the consequences of it, but there are moments in there when they are putting you out for stuff and you think, “Is this it? Do you wake up again?”

‘That’s tough to swallow. It makes you think differently about life. It doesn’t make you any less driven with the things you do, but it certainly makes you appreciate the things you have; your friends and your family.’

WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
