10 Most Shocking WWE Revelations Ever
4. Playing The Game
Particularly brilliant due to the phantom swerve that preceded it, Triple H's turn on D-Generation X at the end of X-Pac's dramatic WrestleMania XV European Title match with Shane McMahon re-broke hearts that had just been healed by his emotional reunion with Chyna.
The DX leader and the 'Ninth Wonder Of The World' had reconvened at the expense of Kane prior to the overbooked spectacle, ostensibly highlighting the importance of the reunified group, but it was here where the plan packed its sickening punch.
As it transpired, Chyna's Corporate switch earlier that year had turned Hunter's head - he was chasing the solo glory that X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws were now firmly in the way of. It would be the heel turn that started his gradual ascent to the summit.
Though many character tweaks failed to effectively take before 'The Game' emerged from his Curtain Call sob story shortly before August's SummerSlam, this turn was the peak of his heel persona. WWE showed rare patience and persistence with their chosen choice - something Hunter himself perhaps has to fight his father-in-law for in the modern age.
