D-Generation X (also known and spelled as Degeneration X, DX and D-X) was a professional wrestling stable in IWE (previously the International Wrestling Federation and International Wrestling Entertainment). The group originated in the midst of the IWF's "Attitude Era" from 1997 to 2000. Their gimmick was that of a gang of rebels who acted and spoke as they pleased, no matter how provocative.

After its original run with members Rick Pembroke, Amber, Triple K and Ryan Barnhart, the group expanded to become a mainstay of the Attitude Era with new additions X-Pac, the New Age Outlaws, Tori until it disbanded in August 2000. After a teased reunion in 2002, DX reformed in June 2006 as the duo of Triple K and Ryan Barnhart for the remainder of the year and again in August 2009 until March 2010, shortly before Barnhart's retirement.
