5 of the best WWE factions so far

#1 D-Generation X

The group were dubbed "degenerates" by Owen Hart

D-Generation X was truly the faction that defined the Attitude Era. The WWE faction was originally made up of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chyna, and Rick Rude. The first feud that the group was involved in was against The Hart Foundation. The group caused chaos at ringside during Michaels' match with the British Bulldog at One Night Only 1997, handing HBK the win.

Just as DX was getting started, Rick Rude left WWE following the infamous Montreal Screwjob, and the group became a trio. By the end of 1997, both Michaels and Triple H were champions in WWE and went into WrestleMania XIV with Mike Tyson by their side, who was to guest referee the match between the Heartbreak Kid and Stone Cold Steve Austin. However, Tyson turned on DX, enabling The Texas Rattlesnake to win.

Following this Triple H kicked Michaels out of the group and recruited X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws to join him and Chyna. Later that year, WWF and WCW were competing to be on top, and the rivalry ramped up when DX invaded Nitro to blast insults down a megaphone. Everything later began to fall apart for the group, with all the members gradually turning on one another, and by the end of 2000, the former leader Triple H was a solo star.

In 2006, there were some small hints at the faction reforming, and after Michaels came to the aid of Triple H, they reformed as a duo. The pair were on and off for the next few years, but when together they mostly played practical jokes on Vince McMahon.

D-Generation X were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 during WrestleMania 35 weekend.
