#1 Triple H

After WrestleMania 14, Shawn Michaels was forced into a temporary retirement as a result of a back injury, allowing Triple H to take over as the leader of D-Generation X.

After the inclusion of Sean Waltman and The New Age Outlaws, the group's numerous catchphrases and effective comedy skits ensured that their popularity skyrocketed, effectively turning them babyface.

During this time, Triple H began feuding with The Rock who had taken over from Faarooq as leader of the Nation of Domination, a faction loosely based on the Nation of Islam and the Black Panther Party.

This rivalry included a number of memorable segments and concluded with a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam 1998 which The Game won.
