During the Attitude Era, D-Generation X caused chaos and pushed the boundaries, first with Shawn Michaels and Triple H and later with Triple H, Sean Waltman, Road Dogg, & Billy Gunn.
In 2025, Triple H and Shawn Michaels are running creative in WWE and NXT.
Speaking on No-Contest Wrestling with O'Shea Jackson Jr. & TJ Jefferson, Sean Waltman was asked about Triple H and Shawn Michaels going from rebelling against authority to being the authority.
"For this time that we’re in right now, I don’t think we could have -- I could come off being biased as they are my dear friends, but just subjectively, I can’t imagine someone not realizing that they are the two best people we could have doing those jobs right now. Hopefully it’s a long run. As a wrestling fans, I feel there were several years there where it was like an abusive relationship. You know your fans don’t want this and you’re going to give it to them anyway because ‘it’s my way,'" said Waltman.
Triple H started to have his fingerprints on WWE creative beginning in September 2022 when he was named the Chief Content Officer.
Vince McMahon, who stepped down in June 2022 after allegations of sexual misconduct and hush money, would eventually return to the promotion until resigning in January 2024 after a lawsuit by former employee Janel Grant accused him of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.
