At Wrestlemania XIX in 2003, Triple H defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T. It was a moral victory for the former WCW worker, who had previously been looked upon with skepticism, following his difficult match with Buff Bagwell which main-evented an episode of Raw in July, 2001. Working his tail off, Booker managed to win over everyone in WWE, proving that he was a superlative wrestler, and someone who could be a valuable asset. Giving the man a vote of confidence, Booker T was installed as HHH's latest opponent on the grand stage of 'Mania, and even though he wouldn't bag the belt, Booker would go on to have a few runs of his own with the World Heavyweight Championship gold. It's a sign of how highly Booker T was regarded by 2007 that he was chosen as the ideal opponent for Triple H's return at Summerslam, and it's safe to say that every time these guys stepped foot inside the ring to go against one another, the results were never any less than interesting.
