Why The Shield wasn't as dominant as the WWE claims

D-Generation X

D-Generation X was among the most popular factions in WWE history for their antics outside the ring.

Counting championships for DX can be tricky due to several break-ups and re-formations, but they certainly won a lot of them. Just during the group’s initial run during the Attitude Era, members held essentially every championship at some point. On top of that, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels were part of a crowded main event scene while members of DX, and the New Age Outlaws were mainstays atop the tag-team division.

Beyond that, DX was one of the driving forces behind perhaps the company’s most successful era, a factor that should definitely give them an edge over other groups like The Shield.
