#1 Triple H
One of the most iconic men in the WWE was also among the handful of people who had the privilege of appearing on the first and 1000th episode of SmackDown.
Triple H made his appearance on SmackDown 1 with valet Chyna to help Shane McMahon win his match against Mankind. He was later scheduled for a match to defend his championship against The Rock.
Shawn Michaels appointed himself the special guest referee for the match, and delivered a Sweet Chin Music to The Rock who was about to deliver The People’s Elbow to score the win. The move helped Triple H retain his championship.
Triple H walked out with Evolution, one of the greatest stables in WWE’s history, on SmackDown 1000. The reunion saw all four men talk about how the business and their partnership has helped them.
Batista later delivered a few unwanted lines directed at Triple H, which could mark the return of The Animal, and start a new rivalry between the two men.
It was a shame The Rock and Shawn Michaels weren’t a part of the show.
