8 WWE Stars That Triple H Stabbed In The Back
6. Billy Gunn
Triple H turned on just about all of his D-Generation X cohorts throughout his career as a full-time performer. Most former members have since come back and joined The Game for DX’s many reunions, and Road Dogg remains the sole DX full-timer who wasn’t eventually betrayed by The Cerebral Assassin.
Instead of being violently booted from the stable like many of his peers, Road Dogg quietly drifted into a tag team with K-Kwik (R-Truth) upon DX’s initial dissipation.
Billy Gunn wasn’t so lucky. At the 2000 Royal Rumble, he and Road Dogg (collectively The New Age Outlaws) successfully retained their WWE Tag Team Championships against the Acolytes. This saw them enter a bitter feud with The Dudley Boyz, who were able to take the belts from the Outlaws at No Way Out, but Gunn took a huge blow.
He suffered a torn rotator cuff in the match, and despite insisting that he was still able to compete, X-Pac briefly replaced him as Road Dogg’s tag team partner.
Gunn, of course, wasn’t best pleased with this, and stood up to Triple H as soon as the decision had been made. Claiming he was a better wrestler than even The Game himself, Gunn completely lost his cool, and what was Triple H’s response?
You can probably guess. Hunter lead a DX-wide beatdown on Billy Gunn, who was formally kicked-out of DX and reborn as “The One” Billy Gunn AKA one of the Attitude Era’s most forgettable repackagings.
