Celebrating The Game: 5 Greatest Championship Matches of Triple H

Modified Apr 24, 2020 05:43 GMT

Triple H has had several championship matches throughout his illustrious career

#1 Chris Jericho (WrestleMania X8)

Triple H was out for more than just the title against champion Chris Jericho

A feud that was as much about redemption as it was competition was quite a compelling one leading up to this match. With Chris Jericho as the Undisputed WWF Champion, Triple H would earn an opportunity to challenge for the title after winning the Royal Rumble. It was also around this time when growing tension between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon was emerging on-screen.

Unlike today, there was a time when Triple H was a face with Stephanie in the role of a heel. The things she did and choices she made frustrated Triple H and it began to show.

Jericho came to Stephanie's defense after an attack by Triple H because of the lies she continued to tell him. Stephanie attempted to thwart The Game's quest to capture the title.

His match with Jericho truly put both men in defined roles. When their WrestleMania match came about, outside interference, referee's involvement, and a title change all led to the makings of one of the greatest championship matches in Triple H's career.
