Triple H to appear at White House event ahead of SummerSlam

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is set to appear in Washington, D.C. for a White House event on Thursday, just days before SummerSlam. According to CNN, Levesque will join other sports figures for the signing of an executive order by President Donald Trump. The order aims to expand the council on sports, fitness, and nutrition and brings back the Presidential Fitness Test, which was discontinued in 2012. In attendance will be notable athletes, including football star Lawrence Taylor and golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Annika Sorenstam, many of whom will be appointed to the council. Levesque and his wife Stephanie McMahon previously met with Robert Kennedy Jr. regarding the council. After the White House event, he will head to New Jersey for SmackDown and SummerSlam, followed by a show in Brooklyn on Monday.

Levesque's participation in the White House event highlights the intersection of sports and politics, showing how influential figures in wrestling can engage with government initiatives. The revival of the Presidential Fitness Test signals a shift in focus back to traditional sports values amidst broader health discussions. With Linda McMahon, Levesque's mother-in-law, serving in Trump's cabinet, this event raises eyebrows about potential influences on health and fitness policies. This relationship could also affect public perception of both the WWE and the administration.
