In April 2001, Triple H and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin briefly became allies. Known as The Two-Man Power Trip, they held WWE’s top male singles titles at the time – the WWE Championship (Austin) and the Intercontinental Championship (Triple H) – while they were also WWE Tag Team Champions.

Unfortunately, the tag team only lasted a few weeks due to a serious quadriceps injury that Triple H suffered in a Tag Team Championship match against Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho on WWE RAW.

Triple H revealed on Jericho's 'Talk is Jericho' podcast that he insisted on completing the match and allowed Jericho to lock in the Walls of Jericho on the announce desk, even though the submission move targeted his injured quad. Moments later, Jericho pinned Austin to win the titles for his team.

“When I first tore my quad it was really bad. There was a point [Dr. James Andrews] told me that no one in an impact sport has been able to come back from this kind of quad tear before. You can, but it's going to take a lot of work and it's going to be difficult. And I said I was going to be first because I'm not not going to do this anymore.” [via Newsweek]

The Two-Man Power Trip disbanded due to Triple H’s injury and “The Game” was ruled out for eight months, meaning he missed the entire Invasion storyline involving WWE and WCW/ECW.
