Orton and Triple H had faced each other on RAW before their epic 'Mania encounter. The two Superstars faced each other in a WWE title match on the April 28, 2008, edition of WWE RAW.

Two years before this bout, the two veterans wrestled on the October 30, 2006, episode of RAW. This was a short while after Triple H and Shawn Michaels had reformed D-Generation X and were feuding with Randy Orton & Edge.

This rivalry has turned into one of the greatest of all time, with Orton transforming himself from a clueless rookie to one of the most vicious villains in WWE history.
