10 Shocking WWE Stars Who Beat Triple H
These 10 talents knew how to play the game
9. D-Lo Brown
A few years (and about 40 pounds of solid muscle) earlier, Triple H was more likely to be found fighting over WWE’s secondary championships than the main prize.
Even as the leader of D-Generation X Volume 2, Hunter wasn’t quite at the level to tangle with The Stone Colds and Undertakers of the world, but he did have a lengthy and fruitful feud with The Rock, also looking to break that glass ceiling, over the Intercontinental Title.
A key moment in that dispute came when Triple H defended the European Title against The Rock’s Nation of Domination pal D-Lo Brown on the July 20, 1998 episode of Raw.
D-Lo was no slouch, but he was still quite a bit further down the pecking order compared with the DX foreman. Their match was solid, as you would expect from two pros of their calibre. It did, however, veer off into shenanigans, as you would expect from a match of this era.
Chyna and The Rock, who were positioned at ringside, got involved before Mark Henry wandered out and provided the distraction, allowing The Great One to nail a Rock Bottom and hand Brown the title.
Four years later on Raw, Triple H beat D-Lo while blindfolded, so who really had the last laugh?
