Number 9: Triple H
One of the original “Anti-Authority” factions in WWE history, Shawn and Triple H would try and revive this polarizing team. In 2002, NWO in the WWE broke up and Triple H handed Shawn a shirt. That DX shirt was still fresh in everybody’s mind. Out came the team, doing their usual speech, and electrified the crowd. Triple H yells “Let’s get ready to suck it….” and the attacks Shawn Michaels. HBK returned after four years outside of the ring and immediately got turned on by his best friend. It was so smart to tease the crowd and give them a little glimmer of hope. Great tactic to get heat on Triple H that would set up a great feud with himself and a returning Shawn Michaels. We would see DX a few more times after, which made up for this tease. Well done to surprise the crowd and not have anyone expect this to happen on Michaels’ return to the ring.
