Triple H and Shawn Michaels' friendship goes way back when the duo was part of the infamous Kliq. As time passed, Triple H and Michaels' bond only grew. They formed D-Generation X in 1997, along with Chyna. The group went on to become one of the greatest stables of all time and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019.

Triple H and Michaels' friendship took a hit in the storyline, when the former turned on his best friend in 2002, leading to a brutal match at SummerSlam, that Michaels won. The rivalry continued for months on end, culminating in a Hell In A Cell match at Bad Blood 2004, with Triple H coming out the victor when all was said and done.

The duo formed DX again in 2006 after Vince and Shane McMahon targeted both Superstars on various occasions. The reunion received a huge response from the WWE Universe, and the duo remained together till Triple H got injured at New Year's Revolution and went on a months-long hiatus.
