A month later at Backlash 2006, Vince and Shane McMahon faced Shawn Michaels and 'God' in a No Holds Barred Tag Team match.

Triple H
On the September 16, 1999, episode of SmackDown, Triple H defended his WWE title against Vince McMahon. The Game beat the WWE Chairman mercilessly, but things took a turn very quickly during the closing moments of the match. Stone Cold came out and hit Triple H and Chyna with devastating Stunners. Moments later, Mr. McMahon had pinned Triple H to win the WWE title.
Triple H is currently the EVP of WWE and hasn't wrestled on WWE TV for a while now. The Game didn't wrestle at WrestleMania 36, with the event being the first WrestleMania since 2007 that Triple H missed.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
