10 Times Triple H Lost Clean

1. Vs. John Cena (WrestleMania 22)

One of the most remarkably clean losses in Triple H's career came at the hands - literally - of John Cena in 2006. WrestleMania 22 was the event, and both men had the main event slot all to their own. In 2015, fans may be tired of John Cena at the top of the card, but he still felt relatively fresh at the time of 'Mania 22, and the torrents of booing didn't quite rain down upon him as they later would. Much as he had Batista, and would later with Daniel Bryan, Triple H did the honourable thing here, tapping out to the then-STFU applied by Cena. It was a huge moment for the latter, who had went into the match as WWE Champion - by beating Triple H and defending the belt, WWE were telling Cena that he was their man, it was a massive show of faith. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xh7s1_triple-h-vs-john-cena-wrestlemania_sport Incredibly, it's also the third time on this list alone that Triple H has lost via submission at WrestleMania, with The Undertaker and Chris Benoit being the other occasions. A far cry from losing to The Ultimate Warrior in just a few minutes, that's for sure! What other 'clean' losses can you remember from the career of Triple H?
