10 Most Shocking Wrestling Betrayals

To think this all started over one Canadian dollar. Late 2003 saw a bet arise between amigos Chris Jericho and Christian over who could get with their workplace romantic interest first. For Jericho, it was Trish Stratus and for Christian, it was her best friend Lita. We’d never get the winner in this wager thanks to Stratus overhearing the two. Throwing her initial flirtations with Y2J to the curb, she called him out on his behaviour and Jericho made the effort to be better behaved.

This was all well and good until Christian totally demolished Stratus in an intergender match on RAW. Horrified at the actions of his former friend, Jericho did battle with Christian at WrestleMania XX with Stratus in his corner. Revenge never quite made it to the table for Jericho, however, as Stratus cost him the match and proceeded to get off with Christian. Devastated, Jericho had lost both his tag partner and his love interest in a matter of weeks and now the two were teamed against him.

Stratus had been a babyface for years up to this point and the vindictive nature of her heel turn was a shocker. More surprising still was how duped both Jericho and viewers were by her and Christian’s antics heading into the show of shows.
