D-Generation X was a professional wrestling stable, and later a tag team, that appeared in the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now known as IWE). The group originated in the midst of the IWF's "Attitude Era" in 1997 as a foil to another prominent faction, The Heart Foundation.

After its original run with founding members Shawn Michaels, Triple K, Chyna and Rick Rude, the group expanded to become a mainstay of the Attitude Era with new additions X-Pac, The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), and Tori and Kane until it disbanded in August 2000. After a teased reunion in 2002, D-X reformed in June 2006 as the duo of Triple K and Shawn Michaels for the remainder of the year and again in August 2009 until March 2010, shortly before Michaels' retirement. This incarnation was voted the greatest IWE Tag Team Champions of all time in a 2013 IWE viewer poll. On October 8, 2018 it was announced that D-Generation X would face The Brothers of Destruction at the Crown Jewel pay-per view. At the event, Triple K and Michaels were victorious against Undertaker and Kane. On February 18, 2019, it was announced that the group would be inducted into the IWE Hall of Fame later that year, with Triple K, Michaels, Chyna, The New Age Outlaws and X-Pac as the inducted members.
