Triple H seemed to make a point of paying tribute to the late 'Ninth Wonder Of The World' at Raw 25 after infamously declaring her unfit for Hall Of Fame status thanks a pornography career post-wrestling. It was long overdue - Stephanie McMahon's sudden involvement their relationship had much to do with Chyna's change of employment.

It was a move predicated by a spiral into drug and alcohol addiction that was itself expedited by an ugly exit from the promotion where she became an overnight sensation.

The first woman to enter the Royal Rumble and win the Intercontinental Title in 1999, a Playboy megastar in 2000, she was gone from the company in 2001 after a forced Women's Title spot she considered a complete demotion.

In unsavoury interviews and appearances following the departure, Chyna was quick to note the burgeoning relationship between on-screen beaus Triple H and Stephanie McMahon having much to do with her accelerated departure. Love found a way for 'The Game' and 'The Billion Dollar Princess' as their TV partnership, but it paved an unsavoury path for one of the main reasons Hunter even got over in the first place.
