'''D-Generation X: In Your House''' was a [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] event produced by the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) that took place on December 7, [[1997]] at the [[Springfield Civic Center]] in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]].

In the main event, [[Ken Shamrock]] defeated [[Shawn Michaels]] by [[Professional wrestling#Disqualification|disqualification]] in a match for the [[WWF Championship]]; Michaels thus retained his title. Notable matches on the undercard included [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] defeating [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] to retain the [[WWF Intercontinental Championship]], [[The New Age Outlaws]] defeating the [[The Road Warriors|Legion of Doom]] by disqualification to retain the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]], and [[Sgt. Slaughter]] coming out of retirement to lose a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|Boot Camp match]] to [[Triple H]].

==Background==
The main feud heading into D-Generation X: In Your House was between [[Shawn Michaels]] and [[Ken Shamrock]] over the [[WWF Championship]]. The feud started after [[Bret Hart]] left the WWF to join rival company [[World Championship Wrestling]] after the infamous "[[Montreal Screwjob]]" at [[Survivor Series 1997|Survivor Series]]. Shamrock, who returned from an injury, which had been caused by the [[Nation of Domination]] in September, was the number one contender for Michaels' WWF World Heavyweight Championship. On the December 1 episode of ''[[Raw|Raw is War]]'', Michaels taunted Shamrock, saying that he would not be able to break Michaels' ankle (a reference to Shamrock's signature [[Professional wrestling holds#Ankle lock|ankle lock]]). Later on that night, Michaels and his [[D-Generation X]] teammates, [[Chyna]] and [[Triple H]], humiliated and assaulted [[Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart]], until Shamrock and WWF commissioner [[Sgt. Slaughter]] saved Neidhart, with Shamrock locking in the Ankle Lock on Michaels and Sgt. Slaughter locking the [[Cobra clutch]] on Triple H. Slaughter then challenged Triple H to a Boot Camp match, which he accepted.

[[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] and [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] feuded over the [[WWF Intercontinental Championship]]. On the November 17 episode of ''Raw is War'', The Rock stole Austin's Intercontinental Championship after Austin took a beating at the hands of The Rock's Nation of Domination stablemates. In the weeks preceding D-Generation X: In Your House, The Rock taunted Austin, declaring himself the "best damn Intercontinental Champion ever".
