Triple H & Randy Orton have a lot of history with each other.
Both men were a part of the greatest faction in WWE history, back when Helmsley took a young RKO under his wing.
And they are both 14x World Champions in their own right.
The WWE Hall of Famer lauded Randy's accomplishments in the WWE, calling him one of the very., very top guys that the company had ever seen.
Given that Triple H had to retire due to medical complications, it's poetic that his last official match in WWE came against his best protégé till date.
