Triple H certainly has a history of putting his WWE career on the line at WrestleMania events throughout the years. The first time The Game wagered his career in a WrestleMania match was against Brock Lesnar in 2013.

Brock Lesnar viciously attacked Triple H in May 2012 on Monday Night RAW, breaking the arm of the Cerebral Assassin in the process. This led to a No Disqualification match at SummerSlam, which Lesnar won via submission, once again breaking Triple H's arm with the Kimura lock.
