6 storyline WWE romances that went off the rails
WWE storylines gloss through a number of topics and some of the most captivating of these involve romance and betrayal. Today we take a look at 6 WWE romances that ended up getting totally derailed.
We start off with the sometimes forgotten storyline between Eddie Guerrero and Chyna and take a look at a number of doomed WWE romances over the years.
#6 Eddie Guerrero and Chyna
We start our list with the unlikely storyline romance between two late WWE legends, Eddie Guerrero and Chyna. Guerrero and Chyna’s “romance” didn’t start off the way Eddie wanted, with Chyna repeatedly rejecting him. This changed at WrestleMania 2000, where Eddie challenged Chyna’s on-screen partner Chris Jericho for the WWF European Championship.
Chyna turned on Jericho during the match to help Eddie win. Their new relationship started off well but began to go off the rails later in the year after Eddie increasingly relied on cheating to win his matches.
The relationship finally derailed thanks to the mysterious GTV after footage was aired during RAW of Eddie cheating on Chyna with two of The Godfather’s women. The footage showed Eddie in the shower with the ladies and commenting “two mamacitas are better than one”.
After seeing the footage, a distraught Chyna broke down at ringside and turned her back on Guerrero as Right To Censor did a number on him.
#5 Chris Jericho and Trish Stratus
This storyline started off with a bet between tag-team partners Chris Jericho and Christian. The year was 2003 and Jericho and Christian were dating Trish Stratus and Lita respectively in storyline. This is when the two legends made a juvenile bet to see who could go all the way with their woman first. When Trish found out she promptly dumped Jericho despite the fact that Jericho had fallen in love with her in the meantime.
This led to Jericho moping and getting on Christian’s nerves, leading to a match between the two at WrestleMania 20. Things got nasty at the end of the match as Trish turned her back on Jericho to help Christian win the match. To rub further salt into Jericho’s wounds, Christian and Trish kissed on the entrance ramp as a beaten-down Jericho looked on helplessly.
