In that role, he has held the company's world heavyweight championship, intercontinental championship, and tag team championship multiple times along with several other titles and accolades. The Hall of Famer celebrated 25 years with WWE last year. "It feels old, that's what it feels like. It's hard to believe, it certainly has gone by in a blink," Levesque told People magazine, last April while talking about the milestone. He is also a co-founder of the highly influential D-Generation X stable, which was a major part of WWE's success during the so-called 'Attitude Era' in the late 1990s. Levesque along with fellow DX members Chyna, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg were all inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019.
After wrestling in his final match in 2019, Levesque as WWE's executive vice president doesn't see as much ring action in his current role, though it's a fulfilling one that allows him to help cultivate the next generation of WWE superstars. Levesque, previously told People magazine, "I watch these young kids and see them go out there and catch on to the lessons you teach them to. They go out there and they execute, and the crowd goes crazy and they come back in and they're buzzing because you'd know that they've succeeded. They know they've succeeded."
