Triple H may have finally beaten Batista at WrestleMania 35 but that didn’t come before a string of losses for the Game against his former Evolution partner. The two developed a fascinating rivalry back in 2005 when Batista rose to prominence and became the top dog of the company.

The Animal defeated his former mentor at numerous PPVs, one of which happened at Vengeance in 2005. The two battled inside the cell in a gripping match which turned out to be an intensely brutal affair.

Prior to their clash, Triple H possessed a remarkable record inside the cell and had won his last 3 Hell in a Cell matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash and Chris Jericho. Batista's dominance inside the structure helped him retain the world title and mark an end to this glorious rivalry.

When it comes to the most entertaining factions in the company's history, there is one name which truly stands out- D Generation-X. The entire WWE Universe switches to the Fun 'n' Frolic mode every time " Break It Down" plays on the Titantron, simply because of the memorable moments of this legendary group.

While numerous superstars have been part of D-Generation X, there have been two specific gentlemen who have been the pillars of this legendary stable and those two men are Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

Their rivalry with Vince McMahon has given the WWE Universe one too many hysterical memories over the years. The Chairman once went to war against DX inside the brutal structure with Shane McMahon and Big Show by his side.

Big Show's addition gave Vince McMahon an undeniable advantage but The Game and Shawn managed to win the bout in a rather nasty manner.

#3 Battle of best friends- Bad Blood (2004)

Triple H and Shawn Michaels have gone the distance together. From best of friends to the worst of enemies, the two veterans have done it all. Back in 2004, the animosity between the two reached an all-time high as they brawled all around the arena in a bid to tear each other apart. It took the entire locker room of RAW to separate the two stalwarts, which eventually led to their clash at Bad Blood (2004) in a Hell in a Cell matchup.

The match had all the ingredients to become a blockbuster and that is exactly what happened. The Game fought his former best friend in a vicious bout which was much more than just a PPV encounter.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels displayed extraordinary skills inside the cell to woo the millions of WWE fanatics. The fans in the arena were on their feet all along as these two legendary performers clashed in an extremely personal matchup.

In the end, it was Triple H who came out victorious as he successfully pinned Shawn Michaels.

Over the years, Triple H has had some remarkable rivalries- few of which rank amongst the greatest feuds of all-time. His long career has seen him lock horns with numerous legends ranging from Stone Cold Steve Austin to John Cena. But one man who truly brought the best out of Triple H was Mick Foley.

The Game owes a lot to the Hardcore legend, courtesy of their iconic rivalry - one which yielded one too many classic bouts. One such matchup took place at No Way Out (2000) where Triple H and Mick Foley culminated their long-running feud in a Hell in a Cell.

The two icons had been feuding for a long time and took the centre stage once more for Triple H's WWF Championship belt and Mick Foley's career on the line.

The Hardcore legend came out as Cactus Jack and delivered one of his finest performances as he took the champ to the brink. Triple H and Mick Foley fought in a high octane clash - one which saw both the superstars fight to the best of their potential.

They famously broke the roof of the cell which emphasises the brutality exhibited in this matchup. The Game retained his title after executing a sweet pedigree on Cactus jack, thus ending his glorious career with the company.

#1 End of an Era - WrestleMania 28

WrestleMania has been home to numerous iconic moments and the ardent fans will agree to the fact that things which happen at the Grandest Stage of Them All are truly special. Talking about WrestleMania and its list of awe-inspiring sights, one which truly left the WWE Universe teary-eyed was when Triple H took on The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee.

Both the legends did put everything on the line which brought about a match for the ages. The intensity was running high and each and every person in the arena could feel it as The Game and Taker took on each other in a match that was brutal, dramatic and utterly personal.

The Game has had a prolific record in Hell in a Cell matches but came short in this game. Numerous chair shots, some devastating manoeuvres, a thunderous Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels and more action brought The Cerebral Assasin a whisker away from breaking the streak but the Deadman somehow prevailed and kept the streak alive.

In the end, all three legends stood together to mark the End of an Era.
