#2 DX drops filth on the McMahons

Mr. McMahon's feud with Shawn Michaels in 2006 led to a long-awaited reunion of the notorious faction, DX.

Over the course of the next several months, Triple H and Shawn Michaels made Vince's life a living hell. Their antics included painting a huge DX sign on the Titan Towers, forcing Vince to kiss The Big Show's butt inside Hell in a Cell, and demolishing his Limousine.

But nothing came close to what DX did on an episode of Monday Night Raw. After mocking Vince and Shane, they pointed at the titantron, which displayed a rare gem from Vince McMahon's past that he didn't want anyone to see.

As a confused Vince, Shane, and The Spirit Squad looked at a toilet cabin on their left, DX dropped a large amount of disgusting matter on them.

It's still unclear whether that was actual human filth or a "safer alternative," but it did let fans know that Vince McMahon could go to any lengths to improve the ratings.

The DX reunion warranted a strong heel to put them over and Vince took it upon himself to get the job done. He was majorly embarrassed throughout the duration of this feud but did what was best for business.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
