Triple H Uses Fox News Op-Ed to Promote Fitness in Role as Vice-Chair of Trump’s Sports Council

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque has authored a fitness-focused column for Fox News’ website, writing in his capacity as the appointed Vice-Chair of Donald Trump’s President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. The piece underscores Levesque’s long-running advocacy for strength training and overall wellness, while bringing a prominent WWE executive into a broader national conversation about public health.

In the column, Levesque frames fitness as a lifelong journey, opening with a personal reflection on his teenage years—at around 14, he described being tall, dealing with acne, and driven to improve himself. He also nods to his sports-entertainment roots by invoking his signature “Are you ready?” line on behalf of the President, positioning the message as a call to action beyond the ring.

For WWE fans, the significance extends beyond a single op-ed. Levesque is one of the most influential voices in modern sports entertainment. As Chief Content Officer, he sets creative direction for WWE programming and oversees how the company presents its athletes and narratives. By stepping into a national platform to champion fitness, he’s aligning that creative leadership with a public-facing appeal to move, train, and eat better—values that WWE often highlights through its superstars’ discipline and preparation.

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition is a longstanding federal advisory body that promotes physical activity, youth sports, and healthy eating. Its origins trace back decades, with the aim of encouraging Americans to adopt active lifestyles through education and outreach. While the council’s initiatives can vary by administration, its core mission traditionally emphasizes participation, access, and awareness—especially for young people, families, and communities seeking practical ways to get moving.

Levesque’s participation as Vice-Chair matters because of both his platform and credibility. Before taking the executive reins, he spent decades as an in-ring performer, building a career on rigorous training, conditioning, and resilience. His transition from full-time wrestler to senior executive mirrors his broader message: fitness is not a trend but a sustained commitment. When a figure of his profile speaks to those themes on a mainstream news site, the audience extends well beyond weekly wrestling viewers.

From a WWE standpoint, this could amplify the company’s broader positioning on wellness. WWE’s brand has long intertwined spectacle and athleticism; its superstars are presented as larger-than-life performers whose success depends on preparation and physical excellence. Over the years, the company has engaged in community-centered efforts that touch on health and wellbeing, from anti-bullying campaigns to pediatric cancer fundraising. A renewed public conversation about fitness led by one of WWE’s top executives naturally complements those outreach efforts, even if the column itself does not outline specific partnerships or programming.

It’s also notable that the message appeared on Fox News’ digital platform, ensuring distribution to a large national audience beyond core wrestling media. For readers who may not follow WWE storylines or business moves, Levesque’s op-ed serves as an introduction to the executive brain trust behind the world’s most visible sports-entertainment brand—and as an example of how sports figures can leverage name recognition to promote public-health goals. While fitness advocacy is nonpartisan in nature, the choice of outlet guarantees the piece is part of a broader media conversation with substantial reach.

Levesque’s editorial centers on individual empowerment—meeting people where they are, encouraging incremental progress, and inviting readers to view training as a habit rather than a destination. That framing fits with how modern performance is discussed inside and outside of wrestling: consistency, recovery, and nutrition are as important as intensity. For fans who look to WWE superstars for motivation, the message reinforces the day-to-day work that underpins the on-screen fireworks.

Importantly, the column does not venture into WWE creative or business developments. There are no teases about storylines, roster moves, or live events. The focus is squarely on fitness outreach and Levesque’s role with the President’s Council. That separation matters for readers parsing corporate priorities versus public service: he’s speaking in his appointed capacity about health, not announcing company initiatives.

What should fans and observers watch next? Council roles often involve public messaging, events, or resource-sharing that encourage communities to get active. Without specifics in the op-ed, it remains to be seen whether Levesque will appear in public service announcements, school outreach, or cross-promotions that leverage WWE’s visibility. Even so, the op-ed sets a tone: if the goal is to get more people moving, a call to action delivered by one of the most recognizable figures in sports entertainment can open doors for practical follow-through.

The broader takeaway is straightforward: when WWE leaders step into national conversations, it reflects how central the company has become in mainstream culture. Professional wrestling’s audience spans generations, and its stars often inspire fans to chase their own goals in the gym or on the field. By connecting his personal journey to a civic role on the President’s Council, Levesque is signaling that the industry’s influence can extend well beyond arena stages.

For now, the message is clear: prioritize movement, aim for consistency, and take the first step—no matter where you’re starting. Coming from a performer-turned-executive who built a career on discipline and preparation, that encouragement carries weight. Whether the next chapter includes more public outreach or collaborative efforts, the signal has been sent. From WWE’s creative chief to a national platform on fitness, the call is out there for anyone who needs it: be ready, and begin.
