HHH - Another championship opportunity came about for Triple H in the Road to WrestleMania Tournament, in which he won, thus granting him a number one contendership for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 22. At WrestleMania 22, Triple H and John Cena fought in the main event for the WWE Championship, where Triple H lost via submission. The next month at Backlash 2006, Triple H was involved in another WWE Championship match, fighting Edge and John Cena in a Triple Threat match, where he lost again. In an act of frustration, a bloodied Triple H used his sledgehammer to attack both Edge and John Cena and then performed a number of DX crotch chops, much to the delight of the fans. Triple H would unsuccessfully attempt to win the WWE title from Cena on numerous occasions, and blaming his shortcomings on Vince McMahon, eventually he turned face and leading to a feud between the McMahons and Triple H.
