Don't rule out the possibility of the Irishman performing at Wrestlemania 2017.
And, how do Irish fans rate when it comes to support?
Well, Triple H has a soft spot for us...
"I've been to Ireland so many times with the WWE and you guys are so passionate, it's unbelievable.
"June will be NXT's first time in Ireland, and it's going to be a hell of a show. I promise you."
We hope that Finn Bálor - who lost the NXT title after an amazing 272 days as champion - will be in the thick of things.
Right before we talked to Triple H, we re-watched this remarkable return from January 2002 - one of the greatest WWE comebacks in history.
Naturally, we asked him about it.

We wanted to know what was going through his mind at the time...
"Oh, man, that was an incredible moment", he enthusiastically responded.
"There were so many thoughts and emotions going through my head in that ring (HHH previously talked about crying his eyes out backstage after the cameras stopped rolling)."
"I had picked up a serious injury in a match and, when you're out, you start to doubt if the fans still care. It's only human."

"But, that (comeback) night was amazing."
It really was one of the great moments toward the end of the Attitude Era.
Finally, speaking of great moments, we wanted to know what his favourite ever match was...
"There are so many throughout the years, but one that definitely springs to mind is Hell In a Cell against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 28.
"With Shawn Michaels as referee, it made the whole experience extra special."

"Our embrace at the end of the match just happened naturally. It was just a great match."

We can't argue with that choice, anyway.
