WWE COO Triple H boasts one of the most impressive win-loss records in the company's history. The Game is a 14-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and he is without a doubt one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time.
As the leader of dominant factions such as D-Generation X, Evolution and The Authority, Triple H has found himself perched on the mountain top of WWE for the majority of his career.
But there have been a few rare occasions when Triple H has been defeated by lesser-known WWE Superstars who are usually found lower on the card. While these losses are incredibly infrequent, some of the names that own victories over Triple H are quite surprising.
Let's take a closer look at five surprising who that hold a victory over Triple H.
#5 Curtis Axel def. Triple H (WWE Monday Night RAW June 10th, 2013)
By 2013, Triple H was already nearing semi-retirement in his WWE in-ring career. The Game balanced his wrestling responsibilities with his duties as a WWE executive. As a result, Triple H wrestled on a part-time basis, mainly performing at big pay-per-view events such as WrestleMania and SummerSlam.
But after he suffered a devastating defeat to Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules, Triple H competed in a rare match on Monday Night RAW in May 2013. The former World Champion faced off against the former Michael McGuillicutty, who had just been repackaged as the latest "Paul Heyman Guy", Curtis Axel.
During the match, Triple H suffered kayfabe concussion-like symptoms and collapsed outside the ring, leading to a no contest.
Several weeks later, Triple H faced off against Curtis Axel once again when The Game was medically cleared to compete. During the early stages of the match, Mr. McMahon made a surprise appearance and approached the ring.
The WWE Chairman ordered the ring announcer to announce that the match was over and that Triple H had lost via disqualification, giving Axel the shocking victory. Infuriated by the decision, the WWE COO ordered that the match be re-started.
But once the match was restarted, Mr. McMahon appeared once again. This time, the WWE Chairman ordered the match to stop once more, announcing that Curtis Axel had won via forfeit. As a result, Curtis Axel owns two victories over Triple H.
#4 Mr. McMahon def. Triple H (WWE Monday Night RAW September 11th, 2006)
Triple H reunited with Shawn Michaels to reform the legendary D-Generation X faction on Monday Night RAW in 2006. Both Triple H and Shawn Michaels had been engaged in feuds with Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon. The former best friends and rivals then put their differences aside and brought back the famous Attitude Era faction.
DX's feud with The McMahons reached new heights when it was announced that the popular duo would face off against Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon and the The Big Show. The stakes were raised even further when it was announced that this 3-on-2 handicap match would be a Hell in a Cell match.
But before the match could take place at Unforgiven, it was announced that Triple H would face off against Mr. McMahon on Monday Night RAW. The show was held in the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
As D-Generation X was making its way into the arena, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were violently attacked backstage by Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Shane McMahon and The Big Show. This assault left Michaels incapacitated, and the heels slammed Triple H's head in the door of a limousine. The evil Mr. McMahon then announced that the match would be a No Hold Barred contest.
Despite a valiant effort from Triple H, and eventually Shawn Michaels, Mr. McMahon dominated The Game with assistance from Shane McMahon and The Big Show. The WWE Chairman hit Triple H with a vicious sledgehammer shot and pinned the former WWE Champion for the stunning victory.
#3 Eugene def. Triple H (WWE Monday Night RAW August 30th, 2004)
2004 saw Triple H feud with Eric Bischoff's nephew Eugene on Monday Night RAW. As Eugene's favorite wrestler, Triple H took advantage of Eugene on several occasions on WWE programming. This storyline led to a match at SummerSlam between the two superstars, and Triple H won the bout.
But on the same night, Triple H's Evolution student, Randy Orton won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. With this victory, Orton became the youngest world champion in WWE history.
Though he initially appeared to be proud of Orton, Triple H and Evolution turned on the new world champion the following night on RAW. The Game ordered the faction to viciously attack Orton, claiming that the title belonged to him.
Several weeks later, Triple H was scheduled to face Eugene in a SummerSlam re-match in the main event of Monday Night RAW. The Game dominated Eugene, and he was about to use his trademark sledgehammer to punish his opponent. But Orton came to the ring to make the save.
Orton grabbed the sledgehammer out of his former mentor's hands and dropped Triple H by hitting him with the weapon. The World Heavyweight Champion then dragged Eugene's unconscious body onto Triple H for the shocking pinfall victory.
#2 Jim Ross def. Triple H (WWE Monday Night RAW April 18th, 2005)
Some of Triple H's most shocking defeats have occurred inside the world's most famous arena. One such loss at Madison Square Garden came when legendary WWE play-by-play commentator Jim Ross won a match with The Game on Monday Night RAW in 2005.
Triple H had recently lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Batista at WrestleMania 21. It was becoming increasingly apparent that The Animal had The Game's number. Triple H's frustration continued to grow with every passing week, as he was desperate to regain the World Heavyweight Championship.
Before their WrestleMania re-match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash, Triple H decided to take his frustration out on legendary commentator Jim Ross on Monday Night RAW.
This feud led to a No Disqualification match in a main event at Madison Square Garden. Triple H absolutely decimated JR, causing Ross to bleed profusely from his head. Ross was without Batista at ringside because Triple H and Ric Flair had bribed Batista's limousine driver to delay The Animal's arrival to the arena that night.
But the World Heavyweight Champion arrived just in time to save JR. Batista smashed Triple H with a steel chair, leaving his former mentor motionless in the ring. Batista then dragged Ross' body and laid JR's arm on Triple H's chest. The referee counted the 1-2-3, and JR defeated Triple H in an incredibly unexpected victory.
#1 Reverend D-Von def. Triple H (WWE SmackDown May 9th, 2002)
Triple H's 2002 in WWE was certainly interesting, to say the least. After he spent nearly nine months on the sidelines due to a torn quad, Triple H returned in January to a thunderous ovation in Madison Square Garden.
The Game then went on to win the 2002 Royal Rumble match and defeat Chris Jericho to become the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania X8.
Just a few weeks later, The Game lost the Undisputed Championship to Hollywood Hulk Hogan at Backlash. When he became exclusive to SmackDown during the WWE Draft Lottery, Triple H resumed his feud with his WrestleMania opponent, Jericho.
This feud led to an incredible Hell in a Cell match between the rivals at the Judgment Day pay-per-view in May. But first, Triple H faced off against former WWE World Tag Team Champion D-Von Dudley on SmackDown.
The Dudley Boyz had been selected by separate brands during the draft. While Bubba Ray Dudley was on RAW, D-Von was repackaged into Reverend D-Von on SmackDown. He embraced a villianous reverend character who became Mr. McMahon's "spiritual advisor."
During the match between Triple H and D-Von on SmackDown, The Game seemingly had the bout won when he was about to hit the Pedigree. That being said, a distraction from Deacon Batista allowed Jericho to smash Triple H with D-Von's steel collection box. D-Von then covered the unconscious Triple H to score a monumental victory.
