 Following Unforgiven , Triple H had a celebration thrown in his honor , complete with six women , confetti , streamers and a giant cake . Randy Orton , however , sought revenge , as he lashed out at all three Evolution members , as he came out of the giant cake , which was placed in the center of the ring , and humiliated the group . Orton was however ineligible to face Triple H at Taboo Tuesday for the World Heavyweight Championship , as he was unable to win a match against Batista , which would have given Orton a championship match . On the October 4 , 2004 edition of Raw , three candidates were named as potential contenders for Triple H 's World Heavyweight Championship at Taboo Tuesday ; Chris Benoit and Edge were revealed as two of the candidates . Shawn Michaels , however , competed in a qualifying match , which it saw him defeat Christian , to become the third candidate . On the October 18 edition of Raw , a Triple Threat match was scheduled between Michaels , Benoit and Edge , which Edge won after he pinned Benoit by using the ropes for leverage . During the match , Michaels injured his knee , and it was later revealed that he tore his meniscus . At Taboo Tuesday , Michaels won the fans vote and faced Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship , however , Michaels was unable to win the match after Edge interfered and speared Michaels , allowing Triple H to pin him .
