– Triple H's maintained with ESPN for a new interview on his match with Batista at WrestleMania 35. The highlights are presented below:

Upon learning that he would work for WrestleMania and would enter the Hall of Fame as DX: "I went for a month thinking," Oh, that's great. I'm going to have an easy year this year, I'm just going to watch the Hall of Fame, and then I'm working behind the scenes at The Mania. It will be easy. Then Vince tells me I'm in the Hall of Fame … and then [I know] I work at WrestleMania. So, I took care quickly. "

When he felt ready to return to the ring: " I did not feel like that. Vince came to see me and said: "I need you to be at WrestleMania. this year. "And I thought," Really? Because I have not yet been allowed to even train – I do not know if I'm going to do that. "Batista and I had this conversation some time ago about trying to do that … so I had to call him and go away, dude, I tore up my pec and I do not know what will happen. I will see. 'To this day, I'm still … I'm going to get into the ring next Sunday, and you'll discover at the same time if my boyfriend will hold out. I am prepared to play and my training is good and I feel good. But as long as you're not there, lifting dumbbells and getting hit by Batista are two totally different things. So I'm going to see how it goes, but I feel good and I'm excited to participate. And at this stage of my career, I never want to give the impression that it is not that big, but at this point in my career, there is nothing left. "

Second to Undertaker in Total appearances in WrestleMania: " I remember getting into the WWE and having a conversation with Taker early [on]. think it was there, the day I had the conversation with him, about six years or so, I remember thinking, "God, can you imagine a career of six years or older in the WWE? "It puzzled me."

On his work in NXT: "At the beginning of my tenure here, I realized that I like the backstage of this scene almost as much as I love engraving in the ring [aspect] because my pbadion for her is to help other guys make a career in this next level. Watching them go to TakeOver, watching [Johnny] Gargano and Adam Cole have those moments. Sitting there and looking at Seth Rollins [compete for the Universal title] who was developing when I took over. Looking at Charlotte [Flair] Becky Lynch and Ronda [Rousey] you end up in the main event and you just participate in all of this. Being able to help one way or another is great. "
