10 Biggest Backstabbers In WWE History

The 'King of Kings' has had his fair share of tag team partners, with an illustrious career spanning 25 years and just as many championship victories.

Firstly, when Shawn Michaels returned to WWE in 2002, he appeared to form a D-Generation X reunion with Triple H. Of course, 'The Cerebral Assassin' turned on his former best friend and attacked him ruthlessly, setting up a street fight for SummerSlam.

Two years later, Triple H was a member of Evolution and Randy Orton had just captured the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. The group looked unstoppable. However, 'The Game' decided that Orton didn't deserve to be in the spotlight, letting his ego get the better of him yet again. The group were holding a 'title celebration' for 'The Legend Killer' when Triple H gave Orton the infamous thumbs-down, signifying that his time in the group was well and truly over.

A little over a year later, Triple H shattered the group even more, when he attacked Ric Flair, the last remaining member of the faction. On 3 October 2005, Triple H and Flair teamed to take on Carlito and Chris Masters. After the match, Helmsley decimated 'Naitch' with a sledgehammer, leading to their feud over the Intercontinental Championship.

More recently, in 2016, Triple H emerged to seemingly assist Seth Rollins in claiming the Universal Championship in a Fatal-Four-Way match. He hit a Pedigree on Roman Reigns and dragged him in front of Rollins, appearing to gift him the title.

However, once 'The Architect' had pinned Reigns, Triple H attacked him and allowed Kevin Owens to pick up the victory and subsequently win his first Universal Championship. Every fan in attendance expected 'The Game' to attack Owens and gift the victory to his former protégé. Ultimately, he swerved everyone and let Owens pick up the win.

The lesson here is simple. Don't trust anybody.
