D-Generation X
After Triple H's injury, Shawn Michaels continued to uphold the D-X image by himself leading into WrestleMania 23. Michaels would still come to the ring with the D-X music and attire even though Triple H was not joining him during this period. During this time, he captured the World Tag Team Championship with John Cena as well as went on to face Cena at WrestleMania 23 for the WWE Championship. Michaels would continue to use the D-Generation X motif until Backlash, at which point he reverted to his traditional entrance music and attire, thus ending this incarnation of D-Generation X. Michaels and Triple H teamed up again under the D-Generation X on the January 28, 2008 episode of "Raw" defeating Umaga and Snitsky. Despite D-X reforming for one night only occasions, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels have used the "crotch chop" since the one night only returns.
