5 times WWE Superstars were caught cheating on their on-screen partners
Professional wrestling is, at the heart of it, a soap opera based on wrestling. And as with all soap operas, WWE has a wide variety of storylines to keep their audience entertained, including storylines with romance gone wrong.
Several WWE Superstars have been caught cheating on their on-screen partners over the years with varying degrees of storyline success.
Here are 5 times wrestlers got caught cheating in the soap opera that is the WWE.
#5 Edge and Alicia Fox
Edge and Vickie Guerrero are back on the list, with Edge cheating on Vickie Guerrero this time.
In a 2008 episode of Raw, Triple H came out during Edge and Vickie Guerrero’s wedding who came out to interrupt the wedding service. Triple H came out saying he had gifts for the couple but instead he aired footage of Edge kissing Vickie’s wedding planner Alicia Fox on the day before the wedding.
Vickie went ballistic in her wedding dress after the footage was aired with Edge and Alicia hanging their heads in shame. The segment ended with Vickie shrieking at Edge as he squirmed his way out of the arena.
This was also Alicia Fox’s first storyline in the WWE.
#4 Triple H and Trish Stratus
Stephanie screamed and threw things at Triple H before running out of the room crying. Whether something would have happened between Trips and Trish Stratus if Stphanie hadn’t walked in is up for debate, but it wasn’t for the lack of suggestive innuendo.
#3 Big Show and Vickie Guerrero
Vickie Guerrero made a name for herself, after the death of her late great husband Eddie Guerrero, as one of the most hated heel authority figures in the history of the WWE. One of the most memorable phases of her WWE run was her love affair with ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ Edge, and this isn’t the first time these two will pop-up in this list.
In the lead up to Wrestlemania 25, footage aired of Big Show and Vickie Guerrero kissing in her office while Edge was in the shower. The footage aired while Edge, Vickie and Big Show were in the ring and Edge was visibly livid and Vickie sobbing.
The footage was aired by John Cena who wanted the World Heavyweight Championship match between Edge and Big Show to be turned into a triple threat with him in it.
#2 Eddie Guerrero and two of Godfather’s women
Eddie Guerrero and Chyna were an on-screen item back in 2000. Chyna had rejected Eddie until the Raw after Wrestlemania 2000 when Chyna turned on then partner Chris Jericho to help Eddie win the WWF European Championship. However, their relationship turned stormy later in the year when Eddie began to rely on cheating to pull off victories.
The final straw came when GTV footage aired of Eddie showering with two of The Godfathers “ho’s” and commenting “two mamacita’s are better than one”. Eddie and Chyna were in the ring in a tag-team match with Right To Censor when the footage aired.
Chyna just sat down on the steel steps after seeing the footage while Right To Censored continued to beat up the solitary Guerrero.
#1 Vince McMahon and Trish Stratus
Vince McMahon started an affair with Trish Stratus in early 2001. At the time, Vince’s wife Linda was institutionalized following a break down after Vince asked her for divorce on an episode of SmackDown.
This angle was one of the biggest of the year and it led to a match between Shane and Vince at Wrestlemania 17 with Stratus and Linda McMahon at ringside. In the weeks leading up to Wrestemania X-7 Vince repeatedly humiliated Trish in order to ‘test her loyalty’.
Trish slapped Vince during the match ending the relationship. Following this Linda woke up from her “comatose” state during the match to help her Shane son win the match.
