By the time WWE WrestleMania 15 arrived, DX had become the most popular faction in all of wrestling. It had been a long time since Shawn Michaels had left, and the group had only thrived further under Triple H's leadership. At WrestleMania, X-Pac met Shane McMahon with the latter's WWE European title on the line. The match was marred with a string of run-ins, which was a staple during the Attitude Era. In the end, Chyna distracted the official while Triple H hit a devastating Pedigree on X-Pac.

The Game proceeded to allow Shane to pin X-Pac, and he retained the European title as a result of the heel turn. The New Age Outlaws came out to even the odds and began a brawl with Triple H and Test. Suddenly, Kane's music hit as the lights went out, but the villains had fled the spot by the time the lights came up. Triple H had turned on DX and was on his way to becoming a main event star.
