10 Kayfabe Wrestling Moments That Became Real
2. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon Get Together... Then Really Marry
The relationship between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon has been much happier, but it did start out with some heartache for a third party. Chyna and Trips had been an item for years before he started an angle on WWF TV with Steph. That, over time, would become a shoot.
Bruce Prichard has claimed on his podcast that Stephanie still had a boyfriend outside the company until sometime in 2001. After that, it started becoming rather clear to everyone behind the scenes that she and Hunter were romantically involved. That left Chyna to pick up the pieces of her own shattered romance.
She must've been heartbroken.
A fake courtship between Triple H and the boss's daughter turned into something special for both of them. Now, they're married, have children and are the most high profile power couple in pro wrestling today. Prichard says that few could've predicted how things would turn out back in 1999.
