4: Triple H in the NWO

The NWO didn't have the same impact in WWE

Triple H is one of the biggest stars in WWE history and is now one of the big decision-makers backstage, bringing his vision for modern wrestling to NXT.

The NWO revolutionized pro wrestling in the mid to later 90’s in WCW. When Hogan, Nash, and Hall returned to the WWE in 2002. However, the NWO storyline didn’t catch fire like WWE officials had hope and there were rumours that Triple H was being considered to join the iconic stable to really put some wind beneath their wings.

However, after Kevin Nash got injured, WWE decided to cut their losses and had Triple H enter into an iconic feud with the returning Shawn Michaels.
