10 MORE Huge "What If" Scenarios In WWE History
2. What If Triple H Didn't Leave Chyna?
Chyna and Triple H were an item from 1996 to 2000, though the circumstances of their split are mired with ambiguity. There's no concrete evidence that 'The Game' started his relationship with Stephanie McMahon while still seeing 'The Ninth Wonder Of The World,' yet Chyna maintained that Hunter was having an affair, regularly citing it as the deciding factor behind her WWE release in 2002.
Whatever the case, there's no doubting the huge, transformational impact that these events had on the business. While Chyna's wrestling career dwindled, Triple H's flourished. Becoming part of the extended McMahon granted endless opportunities within the company, and with his influence expanding every single year, Hunter eventually became one of wrestling's most powerful figures - something that would've been impossible if he hadn't married into the monopoly.
'The Game' was always a talented performer, and would've certainly become a multi-time World Champion regardless, but there's no way he'd be in the position he is today had he and Chyna not split. He'd likely be in the same situation as Steve Austin or any other retired legend, returning for the odd crowd-popping nostalgia moment rather than sitting as WWE's heir apparent.
