Recently, Triple H appeared on IMPAULSIVE podcast with Logan Paul. The Maverick recalled he was the last person Vince McMahon signed before suddenly announcing retirement.

Paul said, “It is why I’m excited, especially because I mean Vince was so good to me. I think I was the last superstar he signed. I mean I’m not a superstar but I was the last you know.” Hunter added to his statement by saying, “You already signed the paper that made you a superstar.”

The Maverick was a part of WrestleMania 38 with his remarkable guest appearance like Bad Bunny last year. He had signed a one-match deal with Vince McMahon at that time. However, as The Game said, if signing that paper means an athlete is a WWE superstar, Paul technically became the last star signed by the former CEO of WWE.

At SummerSlam 2022, Paul faced off against The Miz and impressed the entire wrestling universe, including the critics. Hence, it will be safe to say Vince McMahon gave WWE another major superstar before announcing his retirement.
