Triple H has been with the WWE for over two decades now, and he has one of the greatest Survivor Series track records in the company's history.
The Game has been featured in seven main events at Survivor Series - beginning in 1999. Some matches, of course, were far better than others.
Triple H has clashed with some of the best in the business (past and present) here at Survivor Series. As we wait for the arrival of Survivor Series 2019, it's a fun time to look back at the five best and the five worst Survivor Series matches of his career.
10 10. Best: Vs. Edge & Vladimir Kozlov (2008)
This match was overshadowed by a superb main event that saw Chris Jericho and John Cena clash for the World Heavyweight Championship. But the triple threat match featuring Triple H, Vladimir Kozlov, and Edge (who was thrown into the match at the last minute) was certainly deserving of being the main event bout as well.
These three squared off for the World Heavyweight Championship. Jeff Hardy attempted to attack Edge, but he inadvertently hit Triple H with the steel chair. This allowed Edge to come away with another sneaky and clever victory, just when it looked like The Game would emerge victorious.
9 9. Worst: Vs. John Cena & Shawn Michaels (2009)
This wasn't a terrible match by any means, but it just didn't capture the excitement of fans the way WWE had hoped. Not only that, but it was pretty obvious that John Cena was going to win here.
Cena defended the WWE Championship against Shawn Michaels and Triple H, who were working together as D-Generation X. Fans didn't really like the idea of having to pick a favorite in this match, which featured three top babyfaces.
When all was said and done, Cena prevailed over the two WWE legends, successfully defending his title - like everyone predicted.
8 8. Best: Team Orton vs. Team Triple H (2004)
Triple H and Randy Orton rekindled their rivalry in an epic 4-on-4 elimination tag match at Survivor Series 2004. Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit and Maven teamed up with Orton, while Triple H fought with Batista, Gene Snitsky and Edge.
The winning team would get control of Monday Night Raw for four weeks, with Eric Bischoff on hiatus. Phenomenal pace was on display in this bout, and Orton managed to outlast both Edge and Triple H at the very end to win it for his team. With that, Orton's team won the rights to run Raw for one week.
7 7. Worst: 4-on-5 Handicap Tag Mach (2007)
This match really just felt like something WWE had thrown in just for the sake of taking time up on the card. It pitted Triple H, Kane, Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio against Finlay, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, MVP, and Big Daddy V.
Simply put, fans were far more invested in the Randy Orton-Shawn Michaels and Batista-Undertaker bouts. There was nothing meaningful about this 4-on-5 match, and it was pretty obvious that the babyfaces would come away victorious here.
Nothing much to really love about this one.
6 6. Best: Vs. Ric Flair (2005)
Triple H missed four months of action as he dealt with injuries. He returned several weeks before Survivor Series 2005, betraying Ric Flair - the lone remaining member of his Evolution stable.
This set up a last man standing match between the two former friends at Survivor Series. The two superstars traded blow for blow with weapons throughout the match, but the Cerebral Assassin finally came away victorious in a match that lasted 27 minutes.
Flair put on one of the more memorable in-ring performances of his career in WWE here. He hung with Triple H until the very end, leaving us with a memorable match to look back on fondly.
5 5. Worst: Team D-Generation X vs. Team Rated-RKO (2006)
Not a whole lot to like in this one.
Overall, the 2006 Survivor Series event was quite disappointing: From the mid-card matches to the main event (Batista vs. Booker T for the World Heavyweight Championship).
Well, Team DX (Triple H, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk and the Hardy brothers) vs. Team Rated-RKO (Edge, Randy Orton, Mike Knox, Gregory Helms, and Johnny Nitro) didn't exactly salvage a disappointing show.
Team DX pulled off the clean sweep, eliminating all five members of Rated-RKO without losing one of their own. Does that sound like an exciting match to you?
4 4. Best: Vs. The Rock & Big Show (1999)
This was an incredible match that featured two of WWE's elite superstars (Triple H and The Rock) along with Big Show, who was on his way to main event status with the company after arriving from WCW.
The main event saw Triple H defend his WWE Championship in a triple threat against Big Show and The Rock. These three displayed excellent pace and execution all around, and Big Show wound up emerging victorious in a 16-minute thriller to become the new Champion.
3 3. Worst: 5-on-5 Elimination Match (2017)
Team Raw saw Triple H, Braun Strowman, Kurt Angle, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe take on Team SmackDown - which featured John Cena, Shane McMahon, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton, and Bobby Roode.
With a great mix of beloved veterans, established main eventers and up-and-coming stars, this should have been a match for the ages. Instead, fans were hit with some very poor booking decisions.
The match came down to Shane vs. Triple H, Strowman and Angle. For some reason, The Game attacked Angle and helped Shane pin him to make it a 2-on-1. Finally, Triple H eliminated Shane to win the match for Raw.
What on earth was the point of that thing with Angle? Just a disappointing match all around with no exciting finish whatsoever.
2 2. Best: Elimination Chamber Match (2002)
The very first Elimination Chamber match took place in the main event of the 2002 Survivor Series pay-per-view. It featured Triple H, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Booker T and Rob Van Dam for the World Heavyweight Championship.
This was a match for the ages that went down in WWE lore forever; it's arguably the best in the history of Survivor Series. The final two came down to Triple H and his long-time friend, the Heartbreak Kid. It ended when Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music to score the pinfall victory
1 1.Worst: Vs. Goldberg (2003)
Triple H and former WCW star Goldberg continued their feud here at Survivor Series 2003, clashing in the main event for the World Heavyweight Championship.
But this wasn't exactly one of the greater main events. The pace was off, and the two superstars weren't at their best in the ring. The overall match quality was poor overall, and fans would have probably been more intrigued to see Undertaker and Mr. McMahon in the main event instead.
Goldberg defeated The Game to win the World Heavyweight Championship in a match that lasted under 12 minutes, which is fairly short for a main event of a major pay-per-view.
