The Rise Of Triple H | Wrestling Timelines

January 7, 2002 - Details Spilled

Triple H Stephanie Mcmahon
WWE

Triple H appears on the Howard Stern show to discuss, among other things, his now public relationship with Stephanie McMahon - the exact timeline of which is unclear, but stretches back to some point in 2000.

(Stephanie later reveals that Triple H would secretly flirt with her, in close contact when the cameras were rolling, soon after they were paired onscreen on December 12, 1999 at the Armageddon PPV).

It’s a bleak listen.

Triple H either laughs at or does not audibly object to Stern’s banter. Stern wonders aloud whether Chyna leaves the toilet seat up, and jokes that anal intercourse with her is the “closest thing to gay sex”.

Triple H also confesses to initiating the relationship with Stephanie when he was still involved with Chyna, letting himself off the hook by stating that his existing relationship was already falling apart.
