WWE fans witnessed the beginning of the McMahon-Helmsley era during the Attitude Era. Triple H drugged and married Mr. McMahon’s daughter Stephanie McMahon in the Kayfabe storyline, and she later joined him to form an elite team. There is a dark side to this story. Even though the two got into a real-life relationship, got married, and started a family.
Before his relationship with Stephanie, Triple H was seeing Chyna, and it was said that he was still seeing her when he and Steph started dating. Chyna was naturally devastated by the alleged infidelity. It led to a very acrimonious breakup. They never made amends with each other because Chyna passed away in 2016. HHH still fondly remembers Chyna and her role in his career and DX.
Chyna was the glue that held Triple H and DX
Despite being one of the most popular groups on WWE TV in the late 1990s, D-Generation X regularly acted out the antics of their characters in the backstage world, which sometimes put them at risk of losing their jobs.
When Triple H was interviewed by the “Roommates Show,” they asked him who the “MVP” of DX, Evolution, and The Authority was. He clarified that because she held each group member accountable off-screen, the late WWE star Chyna was maybe the most crucial component of DX.
I would say Shawn, though there’s a part of me that would say Chyna.When we first started it and Shawn was heavy in DX with me, I was learning so much from him on a day-to-day basis about the business, right? But Chyna was kind of like the glue that held that together.
He continued by saying:
I’m the guy that doesn’t drink or do any other stuff, so I’m easy to deal with. Shawn is a mess. Road Dogg is a mess. X-Pac is a mess. Billy is a mess … she sort of kept everybody in line, like there’s only so much s**t I can tell them and can control them before they’re like F-off and we get a fight about it, right? Nobody’s going to give her a hard time.
Batista, a former WWE star, was named Evolution’s “MVP” by “The Game” because of how underappreciated he was when the group originally started in 2003 and showed everyone that he was capable of becoming a star.
Additionally, he stated that Seth Rollins would be The Authority’s “MVP” as his betrayal of The Shield advanced his career.
But why has Triple H not yet inducted her into the Hall of Fame then? This was once explained a decade back (but things have probably changed since then).
Triple H once ruled out Chyna’s induction into the Hall of Fame
Triple H once discussed WWE’s decision not to induct Chyna into the Hall of Fame in 2015 when he appeared on Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions.
The Cerebral Assassin made the following statements about her work in the adult entertainment sector. He said:
It’s a bit difficult, though, and this is the flip side of the coin that nobody looks at. I’ve got an 8-year-old kid, and my 8-year-old kid sees Hall of Fame, and my 8-year-old kid goes on the internet to look at Chyna. What comes up? And I’m not criticizing anybody.
HHH said he was not criticizing lifestyle choices and everybody has their reasons. He said he doesn’t know what they were and didn’t care to know. He reiterated again that it was not a morality issue
Chyna did indeed get inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of DX in 2019 but she hasn’t yet had a solo induction. She is considered a trailblazer for unconventionally pretty women being stars of the company
Without her, there would have been no Rhea Ripley, no Raquel Rodriguez. Chyna is an important part of women’s wrestling lore, and she can never be erased from the annals of the company’s history.
