The Authority.

About The Authority

The Authority was a villainous professional wrestling stable in WWE, which originated due to Triple H helping Randy Orton win the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan at the 2013 SummerSlam pay-per-view immediately after cashing in the Money in the Bank contract. The name of "The Authority" was introduced on October 7, 2013, on Raw during a match between The Shield vs Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Daniel Bryan. The Authority initially referred to only Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as a power couple. The Authority shared similarities with The Corporation and The McMahon-Helmsley Faction, and also had ties to Triple H's previous stables D-Generation X (DX) and Evolution, the latter of which existed alongside The Authority for a brief period in 2014.
