Triple H made sure Shawn Michaels received a convenient late birthday gift.
WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative Shawn Michaels celebrated his birthday a couple of months ago. Around the same time, Michaels also went under the knife to have both of his knees replaced.
In a recent post on X, the Heartbreak Kid unveiled the late birthday present he received from his best friend, Paul “Triple H” Levesque. In what appeared to be a playful jab at Michaels’ double knee replacement surgery, Hunter gifted the Showstopper a red mobility scooter.
“So a couple months ago, obviously it was my birthday, but also after that, I got both my knees replaced. And because of all of that, my best friend got me a brand new, late birthday gift — but a gift nonetheless. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that gift backfired quite a bit,” Michaels said.
