10 Times Triple H Proved He Was The Cerebral Assassin
6. Forming The Two-Man Power Trip With Steve Austin
Following WrestleMania X-7 in 2001, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's heel turn was cemented when Triple H partnered with him after the duo attacked The Rock during The Rock's cage match rematch for the WWE Championship on the following night's edition of Monday Night Raw. From there, the duo won the WWF Tag Team Championships at Backlash from Kane and Undertaker, the Brothers of Destruction. As well, Triple H defeated Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship, and famously assaulted Team Xtreme on Raw, too. Using the logic of keeping your friends close and your enemies even closer? Pure "Cerebral Assassin"-type logic for certain.
