Coming in at No. 14, we land on the opposite side of the Monday Night Wars with D-Generation-X, the WWE faction that was created in direct response of the nWo’s existence in WCW. Led originally by Shawn Michael before being taken over by Triple H after the events of WrestleMania XIV, this group of degenerates just recently found their home in the 2019 class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
No matter what combination of D-X was on display, their entrances were always an experience unto themselves. This group was a definitive staple of the Attitude Era and still holds a special place in the hearts of wrestling fans everywhere to this day.
D-X featured special entrances within special entrances, like entrance inception. Within D-X you had the tag team of the New Age Outlaws which could be argued as one of the most popular tag team entrances in WWE history. We included them with the entire group here but that doesn’t diminish the importance of the tag team’s entrance during their faction’s run on top.
Every member of the group either went on to have a successful singles or tag team careers with or without the group itself, something that couldn’t be said for their WCW rivals in the nWo. When you think of the Attitude Era, you can’t think about it without D-X and we don’t think the fans would want it any other way.
