REIGN NO. 10: ELIMINATION CHAMBER, JAN. 9, 2005
"The most brutal structure in the world, but won by the greatest wrestler in the world." —Triple H
The World Heavyweight Championship was vacated by RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff following a controversial Triple Threat Match. Bischoff then declared that the title would be up for grabs at New Year's Revolution in an Elimination Chamber.
After entering the match third, Triple H outlasted the competition, and with the help of Ric Flair and a monster clothesline from Batista, Triple H pinned Randy Orton for his 10th world championship.
Less than three months later, the cruel hand of irony would end Triple H's 10th reign; at WrestleMania 21, Triple H fell victim to the Batista Bomb and lost the championship to Batista, the very man who helped him win it at New Year's Revolution.
