WWE, over the years, has seen the rise of many factions but nothing like D-Generation X.

In the fall of 1997, Shawn Michaels and Triple H, along with their partner, the late Chyna and the late Ravishing Rick Rude formed a faction called D-Generation X whose sole objective was to challenge the establishment.

The formation of DX and the Austin-McMahon rivalry in the much-proclaimed Attitude Era made WWE programming must-watch television. With them, Vince McMahon's company started scoring over WCW in the famous Monday Night Wars.

D-Generation X, apart from Michaels, Triple H, and Chyna, had other members who joined in later, the likes of The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), X-Pac, and Tori.

The faction over the years has given some of the most fun and memorable moments to the WWE Universe. D-Generation X was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 for their unparalleled antics and extraordinary in-ring abilities.

In this article, we look at the five funniest D-Generation X moments in WWE.

#5 D-Generation X gives Jeri-Show a taste of some Sweet Chin Music

At TLC pay-per-view in 2009, D-Generation X squared off against Jeri-Show, consisting Chris Jericho, and The Big Show for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship.

During the match, one of the funniest in-ring moments happened when Jericho climbed on top of The Big Show to retrieve the titles, only to be nailed by Shawn Michaels with Sweet Chin Music.

Jericho, as a result, went crashing out of the ring and fell on a table. Jericho and Show's confused yet frightened expression when they realized they would be nailed was truly epic. The way they sold the move made the WWE Universe jump with laughter.

Triple H then helped Michaels climb a one-legged ladder as he retrieved the titles, giving DX their maiden WWE Tag Team Championship, much to the audience's delight.

#4 D-Generation X invades WCW

On 27 April 1998, both WWE RAW and WCW Nitro were live in Virginia. D-Generation X came to invade WCW on an army jeep with the Monday Night Wars at their peak.

The DX army led by Triple H was at the doorstep of WCW and tried to enter the arena before the promotion closed the door. They then shouted insults at the rival promotion through a megaphone. DX accused WCW of giving out free tickets to fill up arenas for television while sporting black armbands with the acronym POWCW (Prisoner of WCW), which referred to Kliq members Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

Scott and Kevin were friends with Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and X-Pac in a backstage group called The Kliq. 'The Outsiders' left WWE a few years earlier to join WCW, much to the disappointment of their friends.

The invasion is still etched in the memory of the WWE Universe as something genuinely fantastic.

In the second half of 2009, Hornswoggle wanted to join D-Generation X as a mascot. Initially rejected by Michaels and Triple H, he sued them for mental and physical harassment in the Little People's Court.

When HBK and The Game were summoned to the court, the moment was simply hilarious. Their proceedings in the Little People's Court were a laugh riot for the WWE Universe and, to date, is remembered fondly.

The judge found Michaels and Triple H guilty and the group finally decided to make Hornswoggle the DX Mascot.

#2 The Spirit Squad gets slimed by D-Generation X

In 2006, D-Generation X reunited to start a rivalry with the McMahons. HBK and The Game would often be pitted against The Spirit Squad, a group of male cheerleaders whom Vince McMahon had commissioned to fight DX.

On the June 19, 2006, episode of Monday Night RAW, Shawn Michaels and Triple H dumped a green slimy liquid on The Spirit Squad after telling them to "Look Up."

As the cheerleaders fathomed with what just happened, the WWE Universe was left in a laugh riot.

On the June 26, 2006, episode of Monday Night RAW amid the DX-McMahon rivalry, Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the ring dressed as Vince McMahon and his son Shane McMahon respectively.

Triple H mocked Vince for his dancing habits, referring to his earlier promo, and Shawn impersonated how Shane McMahon danced, leaving the WWE Universe in splits.

This promo to date is remembered as one of the most iconic moments DX ever created for laughs.
