| 01/03/02 Thursday Smackdown Backstage, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley attempted to enter the arena, but the security guard said she wasn’t on the list. Stephanie said that Mr. Flair must have forgotten to put her name there but she was expected. The guard refused to let her into the ring. A miffed Stephanie said that Triple H, her husband, would be back on RAW and she would be in a position of great power once again. She vowed that the guard would be the first person she fires. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley once again appeared in front of the security guard, this time wheeling Mr. Dudley into the arena. Mr. Dudley was on the list, but the guard once again refused to let the Billion Dollar Princess into the building. As Mr. Dudley entered the arena, Stephanie tried to use her womanly charms to coerce the guard into letting her in. "Uh Stephanie, I’m gay," came the guard’s reply. Stephanie’s jaw dropped as Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo walked into the arena past the adoring guard. Ric Flair met up with Arn Anderson backstage. Flair said he had been taking care of some serious business. Arn said that some serious stuff had gone on that night in the MCI Center. Arn described what happened earlier that night with Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Flair said he was going into the ring to take care of Mr. McMahon. Flair did in fact enter the ring and told Vince to get in front of a monitor and listen. Flair said Mr. McMahon has a date with destiny as he has a match versus Flair at the Royal Rumble! Flair said Mr. McMahon may have gotten used to controlling people’s lives from his plush office in Stamford, CT, but not Vince would have to walk the walk. Flair wondered how Vince thought he had a chance of beating the Nature Boy. Suddenly, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley tried to rush into the ring, but she was stopped by security guards. Flair told the guards to let her go and he beckoned her into the ring. As she walked towards the ring she had to button and zip her pants up! Stephanie said that letting her into the ring was a very smart business decision. She said she has been impressed with Flair for a very long time. She said she had a crush on the Nature Boy when she watched him in her youth. As she got older, that crush turned into respect for the 14-time champion. He was great in the ring, but when it came to business, Stephanie said that Flair falls a little bit shoulder. When it comes to business, Stephanie said that she is the man. She has no doubt that Ric Flair will destroy her father at the Rumble. While she was talking, Flair began bouncing off the ropes and demonstrating elbow drops. An annoyed Stephanie stopped him and slapped him! Stephanie said that Flair had four days to decide if he wanted her to help him. She then stated "Once Triple H returns, the game will really begin!" [wwf.com] 01/10/02 Thursday Smackdown In the ring, Stephanie said she couldn't wait to come to MSG tonight to thank the fans for showing her husband the respect they did on Monday night. She said that Triple H had not yet arrived to the arena, but she knew she could do whatever she wanted, because The Game was back, and she's The Game's wife! Without her business savvy and brains, she said Triple H never would have been the success he was in the World Wrestling Federation, saying he never would have been Federation Champion, and he never would have returned after his injury. She said Triple H appreciates her, and with her by his side, he will go on to win the Royal Rumble and become Federation Champion! Stephanie said that Triple H knew that her brains would get him further than any other superstar. She reminded the fans that The Game was back, and she was The Game's wife. She said she points her finger, and The Game destroys. And she said that no Federation Superstar wanted her to point her finger in their direction -- especially Ric Flair. Stephanie said that if Flair would have listened to her in the first place, he wouldn't be laid up with a concussion, the result of Vince McMahon's attack on Monday's RAW. Stephanie said she believed in second chances, and she knew Flair wouldn't want her pointing her finger in his direction, because when she points at Flair, her husband will destroy him, and that goes for everyone in the arena. Suddenly, security guards headed for the ring, and Stephanie yelled that they had better be careful, or else she would point her finger at them too. She said they were lucky she was finished, and she then left the ring on her own accord, but not before again reminding fans that The Game was back, and so was she. [wwf.com] 01/11/02 Internet News/Rumors WebMaster's Note: Obviously this did not happen Monday night but let's face it, as much as Stephanie is popping off about her "making" Triple H it's a foregone conclusion that he is going to dump her hard! ----- Triple H appeared on the Howard Stern show Monday (Jan. 7th) morning and as you might have guessed, Stern was more interested in HHH's sexual life than his actual return tonight. Stern asked HHH if he really had sex with Chyna, to which HHH said yes. Stern then pushed more buttons asking if he ever had....anal with her! Triple H said it's true and Stern threw in a cheap shot saying, "That's as close to a gay as you can get!" Stern moved over on Stephanie McMahon asking if it was smart to get in love with her considering her position. HHH said he thought about it but his love to Stephanie won him over. Stern was throwing questions probably hoping Triple H would say something bad about his former fiancée however Triple H kept his cool and never said anything bad about Chyna. Stern then asked him if sex was great with both of them and Triple H said that if sex wasn't great, he wouldn't have lasted 4 years with Laurer and more than a year with Steph. Woooohooo. Bastard. A conversation about his return on TV that night closed the segment. [Colin Vassallo] ----- It has been reported that an on-screen "divorce" angle will start soon between Stephanie McMahon and Triple H with Kurt Angle being the source of their problems. [Amish Patel] 01/14/02 Monday Night Raw Later Stephanie was shown in the backstage area, trying to get a backstage pass, and Debra walked by. Debra said something to Dave Hebner, and Stephanie said it sounded like Debra said something to her about her husband and the Royal Rumble. Debra told Stephanie that Stone Cold is going to whip Triple H's butt! Stephanie said she guesses it's true what they say. Blondes are dumb, because Triple H is going to kick Stone Cold's butt. Stephanie and Debra continued to argue, and Debra said that Stone Cold is going throw Triple H over the top rope. Stephanie said that she happens to know that Triple H is going to throw Debra over the top rope. The two shoved each other as they argued, and Debra slapped Stephanie across the face, and then Stephanie slapped Debra back! Debra then took Stephanie down by the hair and then Stephanie pulled Debra down and the two fought and WWF officials were there to break it up. Harvey Wippleman tried to tell Debra that's enough, but Debra told him to shut up, and she slapped him across the face! For Pics - Click Here. A few minutes later while Triple H was getting ready backstage Stephanie complained about Debra, and how she had messed up her hair and make-up. The Game finally had had enough, and said he didn't need these distractions! Stephanie said she had been standing up for her husband after Debra had claimed that Austin would beat Hunter. The Game said he had beaten Austin before, and if Austin got in his way at the Rumble, he would do it again. Awhile later backstage, Stephanie was looking at her wedding ring as Triple H paced. The Game said he was heading to the ring, and that he was going alone. Stephanie didn't look happy to hear that she would have to remain backstage. [wwf.com, wwf.powerwrestling.com] WebMaster's Note: Boy it sure would be nice to see a good female feud like the good ole days. Lots of backstage and on-mic nastiness with the always present danger of hair pulling and catfighting. We haven't had one of these in ages. I hope the WWF continues this storyline and it develops into a full blown feud. It will be interesting to see which Diva pops out of her halter top first. Puppies and more Puppies!! 01/17/02 Thursday Smackdown Triple H was preparing for his match backstage, and talking to Stephanie. Stephanie said she was so excited that Debra was not allowed at ringside. She theorized that it was because Debra was of no value at ringside, unlike her. Triple H said he didn't want Stephanie at ringside either. Triple H said it was his first match back, and he had to go out there with Stone Cold three days before they tear each other apart at the Rumble. He said he didn't want Austin as his partner. He said this whole thing wasn't about Stephanie, it was about him, and he wanted no distractions at ringside, because he needed to do this alone. The main event on SmackDown! saw Triple H compete in his first television match in eight months, as he teamed with Stone Cold Steve Austin against Kurt Angle and Booker T, just three days before all four men enter the Royal Rumble match! The match on SmackDown! was made by Mr. McMahon, who forced The Game to team with the Rattlesnake, knowing their combustible history together. Triple H and Stonecold went on to win the match. [wwf.com] 01/18/02 Internet Rumors ----- As we saw this past week on Raw, there was a heated dispute between Stephanie and Debra. Although many would like to see these two battle it out in the ring, as of now the writers, including Stephanie, do not appear to be leaning this way. [Amber Andrews] WebMaster's Note: Well this would shoot down our wish for a good feud (see above). Leave it to the WWF to once again not further a good storyline for the women. ----- Word has it that Stephanie might be placed with Kurt Angle shortly after the Royal Rumble since she failed to get over as a face in December, and since Triple H is a huge face. A divorce angle of some sort is rumored to be taking place, and Kurt Angle is supposedly going to be the mole from which all of the problems between Stephanie and Triple H will sprout from. [Fred Cook] 01/21/02 Monday Night Raw "It's supposed to be that I point my finger and you destroy, and I'm pointing right now!" Triple H calmly asked her "When are you going to realize that the whole world does not revolve around what you want?" A surprised Stephanie asked him how he could say that to her. She told him that he had really changed and she was upset that he hadn't even acknowledged her contributions to his success. Triple H injured the Billion Dollar Princess' ego even further by telling her "Make a contribution to my sanity and do the one thing that you never seem able to do... Shut up!" [owow.com] 01/24/02 Thursday Smackdown Backstage, Stephanie and Lilian Garcia were getting coffee when Lilian commented on how surprised she was to see Steph at SmackDown! because she had seen what happened between her and Triple H on RAW. She offered to talk to Stephanie about her problem if she wanted. Mrs. Game said that the only problem she had was Lilian, and she threw hot coffee all over the screaming ring announcer! In their locker room, Stephanie was reveling in what she had done to Lilian to Triple H. The Game looked like he could care less. Steph told Triple H that he should pay attention to her because she was the one that made him what he is in this business. She said that he may love the business, but her family is the business. Steph started talking about what her father did for his company, but Triple H interrupted her and said Vince was an asshole. The Game said that after everything her father had put her through, he couldn’t understand why she still worshipped the ground he walked on. An enraged Stephanie said that her father had told her that Triple H had only married her to get into the McMahon family, but The Game said he married her in spite of her family. He said that Vince had never thought he was good enough for her, and Steph wondered if maybe her father was right. An upset Triple H then said that maybe everyone else was right about what they thought of Stephanie. Triple H was standing in a hallway backstage when Sharmell approached him. She asked him if he was ok, but he told her that it wasn’t a good time to talk. European Champion Christian then approached Triple H and told him that he knew how The Game felt. He commented on how Stephanie had quite a temper. Christian started walking away, but an enraged Game grabbed the Euro Champ by the hair and started beating him down! [wwf.com] 01/28/02 Monday Night Raw Triple H prepped for his match with Booker T when Stephanie came in and asked where his wedding band was. He said he always takes it off when he wrestles. Stephanie said that Vince made his match that evening and maybe Hunter shouldn’t have put Vince down the way he did on SmackDown! Triple H said it didn’t matter, because he would kick Booker T’s ass. Stephanie said that maybe Triple H needed some help. The Game said he would be just fine by himself. During the match Christian raced down and beat up on Triple H before throwing him into the ring. Booker T, though, could only get a two-count. Christian once again tried a distraction, but Stephanie ran to the ring and smacked the assailant. The Game responded by smashing Christian to the ground. Triple H berated his wife, then was smacked from behind by Booker which dropped Stephanie to the ground and earned Booker the win! The Game stormed to the back angrily while ignoring Stephanie’s crying apology. During the commercial break, Stephanie continued her futile attempt to apologize, but The Game was having none of it, slamming his locker room door in her face. Stephanie began beating on the door which Triple H ignored. Finally she screamed at the closed door telling Triple H that she loved him. Suddenly the door opened and Triple H plopped Stephanie's travel bag into her arms! With Steph standing there in amazement and shock Triple H then grabbed her shoes and placed them onto the bag, turned around and slammed the door again. A totally 'crazed' Stephanie began screaming and crying at the top of her lungs while walking down the hallway. [wwf.com, owow.com] 01/31/02 Thursday Smackdown J.R. asked about what had happened on RAW, when she accidentally cost Triple H a match against Booker T. Stephanie said she had made a mistake, and everyone made mistakes. She said after all the good things she had done, you couldn't get on her case for one mistake. Footage was then shown from RAW of the backstage blow-up between Triple H and Stephanie after the bout, and Stephanie looked like she was about to cry watching the footage. She said it hurt her feelings, but she forgave Triple H, and that's what love and marriage were all about. J.R. wanted to talk about her marriage. He said there were rumors about infidelity early in their marriage. She said she would never cheat on her husband, and she couldn't believe J.R. was asking that question. J.R. then asked if she thought Triple H would ever cheat on her, and Stephanie said Hunter never even looked at other women, because there was no other women who was as beautiful, sweet, loving, and good in bed as she was! J.R. asked about all the temper tantrums and yelling on TV, saying her actions on TV were sometimes childlike. Stephanie said that all fans see if what is on television, and they don't see how happy they are in day-to-day life. Stephanie said J.R. could take all the rumors and questions from fans and shove them. Stephanie said she would give J.R. personal answers -- ones that he didn't want to hear. But as far as her marriage was concerned, she was going to prove to the world how much Triple H loved her. She thanked J.R. and left to go take care of something, saying it would prove to the world just how perfect her marriage was. [wwf.com] 02/04/02 Monday Night Raw - Stephanie Announces She's Pregnant Later in the evening with a huge smile still on her face, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley headed to the ring. The Billion-Dollar Princess called her husband down to the ring because it was time for her big surprise! The Game joined his wife in the ring, but didn't look like he was too enthused by whatever she had to say. Stephanie said that last week on SmackDown!, she had an epiphany, and although she hated to admit it, she saw that J.R. was right about a couple of things. She said it did seem like their marriage was falling apart, and there was only one way to prove their love for each other. She said that next week on RAW, they should renew their wedding vows! She said she waited to make the announcement until they were in Las Vegas, since that's where they got married in the first place! She asked Triple H what he thought, and The Game said it was the stupidest idea he'd ever heard! He asked what was the matter with her, and why did everything have to be on live TV? He asked why everything they did all had to be in front of the world, no matter how private. Stephanie said it was because of the fans, who all doubted her, and thought she was a failure in life. She said the fans thought she was just hanging onto Triple H's coattails, and she said her reputation was on the line, and that Hunter had to do this for her. Triple H asked if this Monday on RAW she wanted him to renew their wedding vows and to stand in front of the world and to express his love for her. Stephanie said yes, and The Game said no. Stephanie said he couldn't say no, and that he had to do this for her. Triple H then snapped, asking why he had to do it for her! He said she always got her way, and that it was all about her! Stephanie began to cry as The Game began to walk out on her -- and she then revealed that she is pregnant! She said she didn't want to reveal this in front of everyone. She said that's why she was so moody and argumentative. She said it didn't matter what anyone else thought, and that she knew how bad he wanted to be a dad and how bad she wanted to be a mom. She said that's why they should renew their vows -- so they could be a family. She said not to do it for her or for him -- to do it for the baby. The Game pondered for a few moments, and then got a huge smile on his face! He hugged his wife and gave her a big kiss to celebrate the news! [wwf.com] 02/07/02 Thursday Smackdown The final match of the night was a handicap match between Triple H and Angle/Y2J. The Game went for the Pedigree on Angle, but Y2J brought a steel chair into the ring. Jericho missed The Game with the chairshot, and The Game set up Y2J for the Pedigree. But Angle gave Triple H the Angle Slam from behind -- right onto the chair! Angle then pinned him to win the bout! After the bout, Stephanie walked to the ring to check on her husband. Jericho approached Stephanie, who begged Y2J not to touch her, since she is with child. Triple H then snuck up behind Angle and nailed him with a chair, and also nailed Jericho across the skull with the chair! The Game and his wife embraced after the attack -- but Angle snuck up from behind and knocked Triple H down, right onto his wife! Stephanie screamed in pain, and The Game checked on his wife as SmackDown! went off the air! [wwf.com] 02/08/02 Internet Rumor 02/11/02 Monday Night Raw - Renewal Of Wedding Vows Triple H walked backstage, and ran into Arn Anderson, who wished him well. Arn said a package had showed up for The Game on Flair's desk, and he passed it on to Triple H. A few minutes later while Stephanie was getting ready backstage with several hairdressers Triple H entered the locker room, throwing the package onto the couch. He asked for a moment alone with his wife, and said he had something he'd been wanting to give Stephanie for a while. He handed her a small box, with a diamond ring inside. Stephanie was amazed by it. He put it on her finger, and said he'd been wanting her to have something like that for a long time. Stephanie said she loved it, and couldn't stop looking at it. Stephanie stared at her ring backstage, saying it was time for her to get dressed. She seemed disappointed because it seemed her dad would not be walking her down the aisle. Triple H said the night wasn't about her father -- it was about the two of them and their baby. The two then shared a passionate kiss, and Stephanie left to get dressed. Triple H was drinking some champagne backstage when Arn Anderson walked in and told him that his mother-in-law, Linda McMahon, had been trying to reach him, and he really needed to give her a call. The Game said he would call her right away. Moments later, The Game was talking to Linda on the phone, saying how sorry he was she couldn't be there. She said she was sorry too. But she said she had something important to tell him. She said she'd sent him the package that Arn had given him earlier in the day. She said she didn't know who had sent it to her, but she had seen it, and she had passed it along to him. Hunter played the tape, and saw that the man who had pretended to be Stephanie's doctor last week on SmackDown! was actually an actor. The Game couldn't believe what he was seeing, and Linda said she was so sorry, and that Stephanie had been lying -- she's not pregnant! Hunter said it was unbelievable. Linda said she was truly sorry, and Hunter said he was sorry too -- he was real sorry. Stephanie was showing off her wedding dress backstage, bragging about her baby and about how big the night was. As she talked, Vince McMahon walked up to her and told the other people to go away. Vince told Stephanie that she looked nice, and she returned the compliment. Vince said he would never forget that Stephanie tried to put him out of business or that she said she wanted him to die. But he said that down deep, she was a McMahon and she was daddy's little girl, so he would walk her down the aisle tonight. Stephanie was thrilled, hugging her father. Suddenly, Howard Finkel ran up to Vince, saying he needed to tell Vince something, and it was an emergency. Vince screamed at Howard, saying he was reuniting with his daughter and didn't want to be bothered. In fact, Vince said, he didn't want anyone to approach him until he walked his baby girl down the aisle! Next up, it was time for Triple and Stephanie to renew their wedding vows. Clad in a tuxedo, Triple H was first to the ring, where a makeshift altar was set up, surrounded by flowers. The Game looked deep in thought as he headed to the ring, and he soon had a smile on his face. After The Game was in the ring, the sounds of "Here Comes the Bride" played in the arena, and Vince McMahon walked Stephanie down the aisle to a chorus of boos. The minister began the ceremony, with the crowd chanting "What?" after each of the minister's sayings! In fact, Vince asked for some respect during the solemn ceremony! A couple then got onto the stage and sang "When you came into my life" for Triple H and Stephanie, as is the World Wrestling Federation tradition. Stephanie was clearly beaming the entire time. The minister said that Triple H and Stephanie had written vows to each other, and Stephanie was first. Stephanie said she took Hunter as her husband again, in front of the world, because she wanted to share how she felt about him since the moment she laid eyes on him. She said his smile lit up her heart, his touch made her feel safe, and his words gave her encouragement. She said he was the only one who ever really heard her, and she felt they were destined to be together. She closed by saying, "I love you!" Now it was Hunter's turn. The Game said that Stephanie's speech was beautiful, and he was overwhelmed. He said he too wanted to tell her how he felt about her. He said they'd been together for more than two years, and they'd had their ups and downs, but despite all of that, last week when she said he would be a father, it was the greatest moment of his life. He said that since that day, he had looked at her in a different way -- not just as his loving wife, but as the mother of his child. He said that when your wife is pregnant, you love her more. He said standing here tonight, he saw her in a different light again. He said tonight he saw her not just as his loving wife or the mother of his child, but he saw her for what she truly was -- a no-good lying bitch! He screamed at her, asking how she could do this to him! He asked why she had lied, accusing her of hiring an actor to play a doctor, and then faking a picture of their unborn child. Hunter said he had done some pretty bad things, but even he would not go so low. He said she disgusted him, and she cared about nothing but herself, and she never cared about him. He said she didn't have to worry about "us" any longer, because as of this moment, their marriage was over! He said they were through! Vince got in The Game's face, pushing him away -- causing Triple H to knock Mr. McMahon to the ground! He then destroyed the altar, and gave Vince a Pedigree! Stephanie got right in The Game's face, and he snapped, shoving her to the ground! He ripped the wedding ring off his finer and threw it down onto his soon-to-be ex-wife! Stephanie screamed at Triple H as RAW went off the air! [wwf.com] 02/14/02 Thursday Smackdown The crowd chanted that Mr. McMahon was being an a**hole, but Vince said the real a**hole was Triple H, who humiliated Stephanie and struck the both of them on RAW. He said striking Stephanie was a sin for which there was no penance, and that Triple H would eternally pay. He said The Game would pay at No Way Out, losing his opportunity to go to WrestleMania to face the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Stephanie then grabbed the microphone, and said a perfect plan had once again been destroyed by her mother. She said she would deal with her mother later, but for tonight, she would focus on her soon-to-be ex-husband, Triple H. She said Hunter had left her with no way out -- she did lie, but he had made her do it. She said after everything she'd done for him, he hadn't showed her enough respect. She said she hadn't let Hunter in the house over the past couple of days, and she had ripped up all his wrestling pictures, destroyed all his wrestling videotapes, and burned all his family scrapbooks, just as he burned her on Monday night. She said Hunter had tried to destroy her reputation, but she vowed to destroy him and to make his life a living hell. Vince took the microphone back from his daughter, and said Triple H's living hell would begin on SmackDown! Vince said there would be a tag-team match, pitting Kurt Angle and the Undertaker against Triple H and Maven! Stephanie took back the microphone, and said there was one more thing. She said before the night was over, she would give Triple H a special sweet Stephanie Valentine's Day surprise. Later in the evening Kurt Angle entered the locker room, and told Stephanie he was sorry for knocking her down last week on SmackDown!, saying that the attack was actually intended for Triple H. Stephanie said it was OK, and Kurt said she deserved much better. Kurt said he and Taker would rip Triple H apart, and Stephanie said she wanted them to rip him apart from limb to limb! Taker said that Stephanie should name a body part, and he and Kurt would break it just for her. Stephanie said that seeing that it was Valentine's Day, she wanted them to rip out The Game's heart! During the match the Game went for the Pedigree on Taker, but Angle attacked him with a steel chair, ending the bout via disqualification. Angle again nailed Triple H with the chair, and Taker chokeslammed The Game. While Triple H laid nearly unconscious in the middle of the ring Vince and Stephanie made their way to the ring. Vince then addressed Triple H, saying he had granted his daughter a special provision at No Way Out. Stephanie announced that when The Game faces Kurt Angle with his WrestleMania title shot on the line, she would be the guest referee! She then wished her husband a happy Valentine's Day, and she told Angle to hit him with a steel chair, which he did! Stephanie, Angle, Vince and Taker looked down at a fallen Triple H as SmackDown! went off the air! [wwf.com] 02/17/02 No Way Out PPV (The nWo Made Their Return At This PPV) Shortly into the match, Angle missed a clothesline attempt and knocked Stephanie over the top rope! The referee lay unconscious on the ground outside the ring, but Triple H and Angle continued the fight. More officials came down and carried Stephanie backstage while another took over responsibility for calling the match. The Game and Angle each displayed their abilities, with each taking turns controlling the other. The Game nearly got a pin following a big spinebuster. Shortly after, a facebuster produced another pin attempt that Angle kicked out of. Angle, realizing that he was in trouble, sprang off the ropes and knocked the referee down from behind! He followed with a low blow to Triple and an Angle Slam! Suddenly, Stephanie raced back to the ring! She began counting, but Triple H kicked out! Stephanie screamed for Angle to continue his bashing. Angle went for the ankle lock, but Triple H kicked him right into Stephanie, who again went down! Triple H managed to roll Angle up into a pin, but with two referees down, there was nobody to count! Angle picked himself up and hit a German Suplex on The Game and then brought a steel chair into play. The Game dodged a wild swing and nailed a Pedigree on Angle! Referee Tim White got to his feet and started counting, but Stephanie came alive and knocked him down and delivered a shot to the midsection! Triple H caught Stephanie and set her up for a Pedigree, but two chair shots from Angle stopped him! Angle followed with an Angle Slam and Stephanie happily slapped out a three count as her ex-husband lay broken and drooling on the mat! [wwf.com] 02/18/02 Monday Night Raw During the match Triple H covered Angle up and got the pinfall to again earn the right to take on Jericho at WrestleMania! [wwf.com] 02/21/02 Thursday Smackdown Later on Stephanie McMahon made her way to the ring and got on the mic. She said that before the Undertaker kicked Triple H’s ass on SmackDown!, she had an announcement to make. She said that Triple H would win the Undisputed Federation Championship at WrestleMania over her dead body! She continued to talk, but she was cut off by Chris Jericho’s entrance music! Jericho then made his way out to join Steph in the ring. Y2J told Steph that they hadn’t spoken much since he won the Undisputed Championship, but he wanted to come out and say something to her, face-to-face. He said he used to call her filthy, dirty, disgusting and even a trash bag, but he never really meant them. He said he was just saying those things to get a rise out of the fans, but he soon realized that pleasing the fans got him nowhere. Y2J said he was wrong about Stephanie, and that he actually admired her. Now that he is the Undisputed Champion, he sees Steph as she really is - a brilliant, calculating, conniving genius! He said that Triple H is nothing without her. Stephanie took the mic and said that she totally agreed with Jericho. She said that she is the reason that The Game is a four-time Federation Champion. Steph said that Y2J had given her a great idea. She said that she knows all of The Game’s strengths and, more importantly, his weaknesses. Since they both want Triple H to lose at WrestleMania X8, she proposed that her and Y2J should become more than friends. She then asked Jericho if he would like to become business partners with her. With a big smile, Jericho said that Triple H’s worst nightmare just came true! The duo shook hands, and they made their way to the announce table to be guest commentators for The Game’s match against the Dead Man! Triple H’s music hit, and the Cerebral Assassin made his way to ringside. The Game locked cold stares with Stephanie and Jericho before walking over to the announce table. Hunter grabbed a water bottle, took a big chug and sprayed water all over Y2J! Jericho and The Game began battling each other around the table before they made their way into the ring. Hunter laid out Jericho, but Steph made her way into the ring and slapped him! Triple H grabbed the hair of his estranged wife and set her up for a Pedigree, but Jericho attacked him from behind. The two continued to go at it until the Undertaker made his way to ringside on his motorcycle! Triple H mocked the Dead Man from inside the ring, and as Taker tried to climb into the ring, The Game landed a right hand to the face of the long-time veteran. Taker just shook his head, climbed on his bike and retreated to the back without even entering the ring! [wwf.com] 02/25/02 Monday Night Raw Later in the evening The Undisputed Champion arrived at the ring with Stephanie McMahon at his side. Jericho started off by singing his own praises and saying that when it comes to playing the game, Stephanie is a hall of famer. Jericho said that while he technically he had never beaten Triple H, he had done something much better. He showed footage of the night that Jericho had torn The Game’s quad. He reminded Triple H that Jericho put The Game out of commission for eight months. If it weren’t for Jericho, Triple H may have been able to give his wife the attention she deserved and their marriage wouldn’t have crumbled, and he might have been man enough to get Stephanie pregnant for real. Stephanie said that was doubtful, because in the bedroom, Triple H always came up a little bit short! The Game’s music hit and out sauntered the Cerebral Assassin. Triple H said it wasn’t so much a matter of him coming up so short, it was just a matter of the field he was playing on being a little too big! Stephanie angrily said she didn’t know what he was talking about. The Game said that even a 747 looks small when flying into the Grand Canyon! He then got into Y2J’s face and said that he wasn’t doing anything that night, so the two should get it on in a non-title match that night! Before Jericho could say anything, Kurt Angle stomped out and said that only Mr. McMahon makes decisions around here. Kurt said that since he was robbed of his WrestleMania title shot, Mr. McMahon granted him a match against Jericho for the Undisputed Championship! He said that he would be more than happy to make Stephanie his business partner after he beats Jericho. Without warning, Triple H pounced on Jericho and sent him flying from the ring! [wwf.com] 02/28/02 Thursday Smackdown In the locker room, Triple H and Kane were going over their match strategy before Stephanie walked in. Kane powdered as an enraged Steph yelled at The Game for the comments he made about her on RAW. Steph also said that his lawyers were being completely unreasonable in their divorce settlement. The Game said that 50 percent for each was more than fair. Steph said that since she made Triple H, she not only deserved 50 percent of what they had together, but she also deserves 50 percent of anything The Game earns from now until he dies! The Billion Dollar Princess said she always gets what she wants, and she stormed out of the room. The main event of SmackDown! saw The Game and Kane team up to battle Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho, who was accompanied to the ring by Stephanie, and Kurt Angle. The Game and the Big Red Machine went to work on Y2J first, but the Living Legend was finally able to tag out to the Olympic Hero. Angle chopped Kane down to size, working on the legs of the behemoth. Angle eventually snapped on the ankle-lock on Kane, but Triple H ran in to make the save. The Big Red Monster finally tagged out to Triple H, allowing The Game to go to work on Kurt. Triple H had the Olympic gold medalist locked in for the Pedigree, but Stephanie ran in and pulled his hair. The Game then set up Stephanie for the Pedigree, but Jericho ran into the ring and laid out Triple H with his championship belt! Angle locked on the ankle-lock onto The Game, but Kane made the save with a flying clothesline from the top rope! Steph re-entered the ring with a steel chair, but she quickly dropped it after locking eyes with Kane. The Big Red Machine picked up the chair and waffled Angle in the head, allowing Triple H to hit a Pedigree on the Olympic Hero for the win as SmackDown! went off the air! [wwf.com] 03/04/02 Monday Night Raw Later on backstage, Kurt Angle found Stephanie McMahon broken out in hives and itching frantically! She accused Triple H of putting a noxious substance in her lotion bottle. Angle -- completely avoiding eye contact with her -- tried to tell Stephanie that it wasn't noticeable, but Stephanie whipped into a rage and ordered Angle to make Triple H pay. During the cage match between Triple H and Kurt Angle, Stephanie McMahon stomped down the entrance ramp, rash and all. When the referee protested, she pushed him face first into the cage. Just as Triple H was set to exit the cage door, Stephanie slammed it shut right on his face! Angle then tried to leave, but Stephanie locked the door and ordered Angle to beat the snot out of Triple H. Angle began to do just that. He tossed Triple H around until Stephanie was satisfied. She opened the door and Angle began to walk out, but he stopped and decided it would be fun to beat the bejeezus out of The Game some more. That's when the hijinks started. Triple H grabbed Angle and vaulted him face first into the cage. That made Stephanie angry, so she decided to toss a chair into the cage. Instead of it being used by Angle, it was used ON Angle. Triple H hit a DDT on Angle that sent the Olympian's head into the steel! Stephanie couldn't take anymore. She entered the ring, and smashed her ex-husband repeatedly with the chair! Triple H got his foot hung up between two ropes and was powerless to stop Stephanie as she dragged Kurt out of the cage, giving Angle the victory as RAW went off the air! [wwf.com] 03/07/02 Thursday Smackdown Stephanie McMahon was in her locker room when Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho came in and gave her the water she had apparently asked him to get. He asked why he was running her chores, since he was the Undisputed Champion. Stephanie said she had caused Triple H to lose on RAW, and that was exactly what she would do to The Game at WrestleMania. Stephanie then gave Y2J a gift -- Triple H's first robe. She said the robe was given to The Game by his mentor, Killer Kowalski. She said the robe was half hers, and the robe should only be worn by a champion. Jericho said he would wear the robe on his way to the ring for his match against Kane. He put the robe on, and the two shared a hug. Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho wore Triple H's first wrestling robe to the ring as he took on Kane in a non-title bout. Stephanie McMahon accompanied Y2J to the ring. Y2J talked some big-time smack to Kane prior to the bout, but it was the Big Red Machine who dominated at first, using his size to his advantage. Jericho soon tried to walk away from the bout, but Kane pulled him back into the action. Kane went up top, but Y2J caught him with a huge dropkick! Kane soon had Jericho set up for the chokeslam, but as Stephanie distracted the ref, Kurt Angle ran down and gave Kane the Angle Slam! Y2J then hit the Lionsault and pinned Kane for the win! After the bout, Angle went to hit Kane with a chair, but Kane caught him with a boot to the face, knocking the chair into Angle's head! Kane and Angle slugged it out to the backstage area. In the ring, Stephanie was giving Triple H's robe to Y2J when Triple H ran in. The Game attacked Jericho and threw Y2J from the ring, and Triple H then set up his soon-to-be ex-wife for the Pedigree! Luckily for Stephanie, however, Y2J saved her, as Triple H took back his robe. Coach caught up with Stephanie McMahon as she was leaving the arena, and Stephanie reiterated that Triple H's robe was half hers. Triple H then approached Stephanie and said her Corvette was here. He gave her the keys, and she went over to the car -- which was cut in half! Stephanie threw a fit when she saw that her husband had cut half the car off, as The Game just walked away and laughed! [wwf.com] 03/11/02 Monday Night Raw Later backstage, Stephanie screamed for Lucy to get off the sofa. Into the locker room walked Y2J, who was disgusted by Lucy. Stephanie screamed for Jericho to get the dog off the couch, which he did. Stephanie said it was worth it, because of seeing the look on The Game's face. Suddenly, a smell filled the locker room, and it turned out the dog had pooped all over the floor! Stephanie screamed for Jericho to take the dog for a walk, and to get someone to clean up the mess. Outside the arena, Y2J took Lucy for a walk in the freezing cold. Y2J questioned why a living legend had to take Lucy for a walk. Y2J tied Lucy's leash to the door handle of a limo and left her out in the freezing cold. A few minutes later in the parking area, Lucy was still tied to the limo, as Y2J talked to Stephanie on his cell phone. Stephanie told Y2J to get some air freshener, and Jericho told the limo driver to drive him to the store to get some air freshener. As the car backed up, the sounds of a shrieking dog were heard. The driver stopped, and said it looked like he ran over something. Y2J said yes -- the driver had run over something, not him. Y2J told the driver to go clean up his mess, seeming like he didn't give a damn about the dog at all! Moments later, Triple H ran outside to see what had happened, and the driver said there was a dog stuck under the car. The driver said the dog was still alive, but needed help. The Game screamed for the driver to get help. In the locker room, Stephanie was very upset about what had happened to Lucy, saying Triple H was going to kill her, because the dog meant the world to The Game. Y2J said that if Hunter tried to come backstage, he had something in store for him. An irate Triple H returned to the arena. He marched into Stephanie's locker room and screamed for his wife, only to hear her music sound out in the arena. And indeed, Stephanie headed down to the ring, looking over her shoulder the entire way. She asked for a microphone, and said she knew Hunter was back, and she just wanted to apologize for what happened to Lucy, saying it was a complete accident. She said she may have said some bad things, but she knew how much Hunter loved Lucy, and never meant for anything bad to happen to the dog. It didn't take long for The Game to storm to the ring. He ran after Stephanie, chasing her up the ramp and catching her by her hair. Triple H tossed his soon-to-be ex-wife into the ring and talked some smack, before setting her up for the Pedigree. But as he went for the move, Chris Jericho attacked The Game's surgically repaired knee with a sledgehammer! Y2J nailed The Game with a second shot to Triple H's once-injured left quadriceps muscle. Officials quickly ran to the ring to check on Triple H, who was screaming in pain as Stephanie and Y2J smiled from ear to ear. The Game was heard to say that he thought he tore his quad again. During the commercial break, Y2J ran out and again clipped Triple H's knee out from under him, and after commercial, The Game was put onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital. [wwf.com] 03/14/02 Thursday Smackdown! Walking with a limp, Triple H headed to the ring, set to make his huge announcement. The Game said he stood in the ring to make an unfortunate announcement -- unfortunate for Chris Jericho! He said that Y2J did not get the job done. He said 10 months ago, Y2J had put him in the Walls of Jericho on the announce table after he tore his quad trying to take him out of the business, but Jericho had failed. He said that Jericho had tried again on Monday night, and again had failed. Triple H said he was 100 percent, and there was something Jericho didn't realize -- that pain is temporary, but The Game is forever. He said this Sunday, he would go to WrestleMania's main event, and he would kick Jericho's ass and become the Undisputed World Champion. As The Game continued to speak, Jericho's music filled the arena, and out came Y2J and Stephanie. Jericho mockingly clapped for Triple H, saying it was a great performance. But he asked Triple H if he was actually certain that he was ready to face the living legend in the main event of WrestleMania for the most prestigious title in history. He said maybe Triple H was lying to himself and to the fans. He said Stephanie and he thought Triple H wasn't being completely honest. Stephanie took the microphone, and said that Hunter never was a very good liar. She said she had called Dr. Jim Andrews on Tuesday morning -- the same doctor who repaired Triple H's torn quad last May. She said the doctor was sad to hear about their marital problems, and was even sorrier to give Stephanie the prognosis. Andrews told her he had gotten a call from the orthopedic surgeon in Detroit who had checked on Triple H after RAW. Dr. Andrews told her that Triple H's quad was barely held together by wires, and the sledgehammer shot had put The Game's leg in such bad shape that one false move, and the wires could snap. Dr. Andrews said that The Game shouldn't compete again for at least a month. Stephanie said that one miscalculation by The Game at WrestleMania could end his career forever. Y2J told Triple H also to think about the fact that Hunter and Lucy had a lot in common now -- they both had bum legs. He said The Game would forever walk with a limp thanks to the Undisputed Champion. He told Hunter to get it through his thick skull that he had taken The Game out of action for eight months. Jericho took credit for all the hell that Triple H went through, and said all the rehab was for nothing, since he said he would end Triple H's career at WrestleMania. Jericho then made a beeline for the ring, and he and Triple H slugged it out! Hunter knocked Y2J to the outside, but as he did so, he came up limping. The two fought on the outside, and then Triple H pulled the top off the announce table. As he did so, Stephanie snuck up from behind and kicked his injured leg. Stephanie tried to run away, but The Game caught her and tossed her on the announce table. He was about to Pedigree her through the table when Jericho smacked The Game in the leg with the Undisputed Title. Stephanie scrambled away to safety as Jericho climbed onto the announce table and locked Triple H in the Walls of Jericho -- just as he did 10 months ago, when Hunter first tore his quad! The Game tapped out as Stephanie talked smack to her soon-to-be ex-husband. Jericho stood above a fallen Triple H as SmackDown! went off the air! [wwf.com] 03/15/02 Internet News Apparently two of the fans jumped the barrier, going after Stephanie. They quickly pulled up her top and bra, pulled down her shorts and boots, while a 3rd member stood there taping with a video camera. The entire incident lasted around 10 seconds. By the time the rampant fans were noticed by both security and the wrestlers, they were running for the exits. No arrests were reported from the Gund Arena in Cleveland, which means that the fans managed to get away. In brief, this means that three fans somewhere have close-up nude footage of Stephanie, not to mention the various other fans who would have taken pictures during the incident. [wrestlingdotcom.com, Brendan Starr] WebMaster's Note: There are at least 5 web sites that are advertising "26 High-res photos of Steph being stripped at Smackdown!" but so far all we could find were links to several "sex sites" that offer you a "free" membership that costs you. If any visitors actually have these pics we're willing to give you one year free to the OWOW Nude Images Gallery. 03/17/02 Wrestlemania 18 PPV Triple H set out to complete his storybook comeback by taking the Championship out of Jericho's hands. He locked up with the champ, bounced him off the ropes and flipped him hard to the mat. But The Game's injured leg, which was heavily bandaged for support, slowed him down. Jericho took advantage of that fact when the action went outside the ring. He repeatedly struck Triple H's injured quad with stiff kicks. Once back inside the squared circle, The Game returned the favor. When Stephanie interfered in the match, The Game grabbed her by the hair and lifted her to the ring apron. Jericho tried to spear Triple H to break things up, but Triple H moved and Jericho struck Stephanie! Triple H pulled her into the ring and went to give his ex the Pedigree! But Jericho launched off the top rope and crashed into Jericho. When The Game was back outside the ropes, Stephanie kicked him where it counts - right in his injured quad. Jericho continued his game plan of picking on Triple H's injured leg. The Game valiantly managed to fight back. He set Jericho up on the announce table and readied the Pedigree, but the champ flipped him over his back through the other announce table! Jericho followed with a Lionsault back in the ring but Triple H kicked out after the ref counted to two. The Game recovered again and again tried to land his finisher, but Jericho punched Triple H in the leg and put on the Walls of Jericho! Just as Triple H was about to reach the ropes, Y2J pulled him back to the center of the ring. Triple H managed to claw his way back to the rope and the referee ordered Y2J to break the hold. An angry Jericho grabbed a steel chair from ringside and brought it back to use on his opponent. Triple H avoided the steel by kicking him to the mat then DDTed Jericho on the chair! Stephanie climbed in to the ring to help Jericho, but was grabbed and Pedigreed by Triple H! While the ref tended to Steph, Y2J took the chair and smacked it over Triple H. Somehow, The Game kicked out and rose to his feet! Jericho kicked Triple H and set him up for a Pedigree, but Triple H blocked and soon after, hit his own finisher on Y2J and became the new Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion! [wwf.com] For Pics - Click Here. 03/18/02 Monday Night Raw Hunter smiled from ear to ear as Stephanie walked out to the stage. The Billion-Dollar Princess was wearing a neck collar and said she was about to wipe the smile off The Game's face. She said Y2J wanted a rematch for the Undisputed Championship next Monday on RAW. The Game theorized that Jericho only wanted to play because he had seen Triple H limping. Stephanie asked if Hunter was scared. Triple H suggested it be a Handicap Match -- how about it be Jericho and another superstar against him for the title. Stephanie said that was fine with her, but who was dumber than they look now? Triple H said that the other superstar would be her! Triple H said that if she and Jericho lost, she had to leave the World Wrestling Federation. The Game said he was sick of looking at her, and of hearing her whiny voice, and of her bitch attitude. He said he wanted her out of his life. Stephanie said it was too bad, because she refused. The crowd started the "Na na na na" chant for Stephanie, and she said surely Hunter didn't want to deprive the fans of her! She said millions of people tuned in to see her every week! Triple H told the crowd to hold on, saying maybe Stephanie had a point. The Game asked how many people wanted Stephanie to stay, and the crowd booed. He then asked how many wanted to see her leave, and the crowd cheered! Stephanie said the people didn't know anything! Triple H said it seemed pretty simple -- the fans wanted it, and Stephanie had no choice, because if Jericho didn't take his chance next Monday, he could wait for the draft and go through all the red tape. Stephanie said she would think about it for a second. She said she was sick of him -- and that he was on! She said next Monday, it will be a Handicap Match with her and Jericho vs. Triple H for the title, and if Hunter were to pin her, she would leave the company! She said Y2J would once again be champion and will once again leave The Game a crippled mess. The Game said he hoped Stephanie had a matching neck brace for every outfit, because she would need one after RAW. Triple H said Stephanie would have one more chance to play The Game, but if she lost this Monday, it would be Game Over! [wwf.com] 03/21/02 Thursday Smackdown! The brand-new Undisputed Champion held up his titles, and Jericho said he was glad Hunter would be out there, because on Monday, he would finish off The Game. Hunter poked fun at Jericho's pink, sparkly ring robe, saying that Liberace had called and said he wanted his pajamas back! Triple H questioned the fact that the Federation needed Stephanie, saying that maybe Y2J was right. The Game said the Federation could never have enough whining, crying bitches! The Game said that they couldn't survive without all of Stephanie's contributions, and then showed a video of Stephanie's most "Classic Moments" -- including her getting the Stink Face, and having beer and mustard poured all over her! Triple H said Stephanie has been a barrel of laughs. He said maybe the people Monday night were wrong. The Game took another survey, and the crowd overwhelmingly wanted Stephanie to leave the Federation! The crowd began to sing "Na na na na" again, and Stephanie screamed at them to stop singing! Triple H said that as far as Jericho went, Y2J had earned his respect at WrestleMania, and no one could take away from Jericho the fact that he was the first Undisputed Champion. But The Game reminded Jericho that that didn't mean he was the best. The Game said Y2J had gone into WrestleMania thinking he was unbeatable and the immovable object, but Jericho hadn't taken into consideration that he was going up against the unstoppable force. He said RAW would be no different, and after he defeated them in the Handicap Match on RAW, he would still be the Undisputed Champion, and Stephanie would be gone. Triple H said that WrestleMania was the start of a whole new game -- and this game was forever. Stephanie said that Hunter couldn't be more wrong. She said she had contributed to the Federation, and she said had a big surprise for him. She said he wouldn't leave RAW as Undisputed Champion, and neither would Chris Jericho ... because she had talked to her daddy, and the match would now instead be a Triple Threat Match, with Triple H vs. Jericho vs. Stephanie! Y2J looked shocked, as if he didn't know anything about this! She said she knew it would be an embarrassment for Triple H to lose the title -- but would be an even greatest embarrassment to lose it to her! She said not only would she not be leaving the Federation, but this Monday night, she said she would become the first-ever female Federation Champion! Jericho was in shock about Stephanie's announcement -- it looked like it came as a bigger surprise to him than it did to Triple H! Moments later, a still-stunned Y2J was walking backstage when he was approached by Lilian Garcia, who asked him what he thought of Stephanie's shocking announcement. Y2J questioned what Stephanie had up her sleeve. As he talked, he came to the sudden realization that he would become Undisputed Champion if he pinned Stephanie! That brought a smile to Jericho's face! [wwf.com] 03/22/02 Internet News/Rumors There have also been other facts pointing to the WWF looking after Stephanie, since this contest became public. At Wrestlemania, Stephanie wore a green body suit. Obviously, it would be extremely hard for any fan to attempt to pull off a body suit. On last night's RAW, Stephanie stayed at the top of the ramp, and did not move any further. Now, on the next episode of RAW, Stephanie will have to leave the WWF if Triple H wins the match. WebMaster's Note: On 3/15/02 we reported that this contest/event had actually happened since that was the way it was being reported on a number of sites. It was also stated that a contest had been started to see if anyone else could get away with it. I had E-mail from several visitors complaining about the fact that we asked for pictures if anybody had them. We apologize but we didn't think the postings had any real credibility. Either that or the WWF security people had lost their minds. For those of you that were upset - you'll see that we tried to act responsibly and not post information regarding the contest. To our knowledge the only "Stephanie Butt" pictures that are available are those that anybody got from actually being a fan at the 03-11 Raw show when Triple H exposed her bottom or those of us that got it via video capture/taping. We will run the pictures from the Raw show on nudes.owow.com next month. 03/25/02 Monday Night Raw The Undisputed Championship match came up next as Stephanie McMahon entered the ring first followed by Chris Jericho and the champion, Triple H. Under the rules of the match, all three competed in the ring at the same time. The first to score a pinfall or submission wins the match. The Game and Y2J clashed first, with Triple H tossing Jericho from the ring. Triple H grabbed Stephanie and attempted to Pedigree her, but Jericho pulled her out of the ring at the last second. Soon after, everyone reentered the ring and Jericho ended up being catapulted into Stephanie in the corner. Stephanie, in turn, collapsed head first onto Y2J's groin! Jericho and Stephanie teamed up on The Game from there. They each took turns hitting The Game's weak quad. But Triple H managed to kick Y2J away and into Stephanie. Stephanie slapped Y2J across the face and the two exchanged heated words. Soon after, the two came to blows again as Jericho locked Steph in the Walls of Jericho! She nearly tapped out, but Hunter avoided that by knocking Y2J to the outside. He then tried to Pedigree Steph, but Y2J broke things up. Moments later, Y2J and Triple H each grabbed a championship belt and clocked each other with it! Stephanie saw the opportunity and covered the listless Triple H, who somehow kicked out! Steph then covered Jericho but Y2J also avoided the pinfall! Shortly after, Triple H decked his ex with a stiff clothesline, but Y2J put The Game in the Walls of Jericho! The Game hollered in pain until Steph climbed on Jericho's back to force him to release the hold. Triple H hit the Pedigree on Jericho and would have gotten the pin but Steph broke it up! The Game turned to his ex, whipped her off the ropes and planted her with a stiff spinebuster! The champion covered Stephanie and retained his title while forcing Stephanie to leave Federation television! The game knelt beside his ex wife and waved goodbye as the astonished Billion-Dollar Princess stared in bewilderment!

He said the fans were almost as pathetic as what happened on RAW, when Stephanie McMahon was forced out of the Federation by her soon-to-be ex-husband, Triple H. The crowd cheered for the statement, as Kurt told them to have a little compassion. Angle said that Stephanie was like a blossoming flower who brought joy and happiness to millions of people every day. He said he wouldn't let her leaving go unrecognized, so he wanted to take a moment of silence so they could remember all the wonderful memories Stephanie had provided them. Kurt had them turn down the lights in the arena, and put a picture of Stephanie on the TitanTron. He asked for the moment of silence to begin, but instead of being silent, the crowd booed mercilessly! Kurt called the people heartless, and told Stephanie that if she was watching, she shouldn't listen to the people! Angle said the fans should show Stephanie respect, or he would beat the respect out of them! Kurt then headed to the outside of the ring towards the fans -- until suddenly, out came Vince McMahon. Mr. McMahon strutted to the ring and said that when you desecrated his daughter's name, you were desecrating his name. He said his name was worth more than all the fans' name combined. Mr. McMahon said the whole fiasco wouldn't have happened if not for Triple H. Vince said The Game had drugged and married Stephanie, only to publicly embarrass her and beat her up. Mr. McMahon called Triple H a real son of a bitch. Vince admitted that Stephanie wasn't always a perfect daughter, but she was as close to perfect as daughters came. He said that he blamed Triple H for every rotten act Stephanie had ever committed. Vince said he was happy The Game was Federation Champion, because now, he would be on both RAW and SmackDown! -- and he planned on making The Game's life a living hell on SmackDown! Suddenly, out came the Undisputed Champion, Triple H, to a huge ovation! The Game questioned Vince saying that he was a bad influence and selfish and a son of a bitch. Triple H said that Vince ain't seen nothing yet! The Game said that if Vince screwed with him, he would make Vince's life a living hell. Triple H said that since Vince missed Stephanie so much, The Game suggested that Kurt was right, and they should honor her. Triple H said they would honor Stephanie's last few moments in the Federation, and he then showed the footage from Monday's RAW, of him pinning her and sending her packing! [wwf.com] 03/29/02 Internet Rumors ----- At the conclusion of RAW, we witnessed Stephanie being escorted from the arena by WWF security as a result of the stipulations of the main event match. As is often the case in the WWF, suspensions, stipulations, expulsions, etc are altered at a moment's notice. This has brought about a lot of speculation regarding to her future on-air role and possible return sometime down the road. Current reports indicate that she will take an extended absence from WWF television before returning at an undetermined date according to 1wrestling. The reasons for her time off camera is twofold. First, she needs more time to devote to the creative and writing aspect of the company since she now has two significantly different shows to write as a result of the "brand extension". Secondly, the WWF realized that she has been overexposed in the recent weeks and decided that her character needed some time away from current storylines. [Jeremy Bratcher] 04/19/02 Internet News 07/12/02 Internet Rumor 07/18/02 Thursday Smackdown! Stephanie said that her brother, Shane, was right when he said that Bischoff would try to screw him, but she said she would not let that happen. Stephanie promised to block Bischoff's attempt to sign Triple H at Vengeance this Sunday. Stephanie said her first official act would take place immediately as she would threw Bischoff out of her building! Stephanie retreated backstage and searched for the RAW General Manager. She grabbed a stagehand, but he insisted he didn't know where he was. After some more hunting, Stephanie found the former head of WCW talking to Test, Christian and Lance Storm and got up in his face. She said Bischoff could leave on her own or be thrown out. Bischoff said he'd leave but he'd see her at Vengeance. A few minutes later Chris Jericho walked into Stephanie McMahon's office and exclaimed that it was great to see her. The two shook hands and Stephanie said that Y2J was very unselfish last week for giving up his match against Edge so he and Hogan could defend the Tag Team Championship. Stephanie said she would reward him by giving Y2J the match that he gave up on next week's SmackDown! Jericho's face fell and contorted in anger as he left Stephanie's office. At the end of the evening Marc Loyd found Triple H walking to his limo in the parking lot and tried to get an interview. He stopped short when Stephanie walked up to her ex-husband and asked for a quick meeting for strictly business reasons. Triple H asked if he was sure she didn't want her lawyer there to do her dirty work for him. Triple H said he would hear everything that she and Eric Bischoff had to say on Sunday before making his decision at Vengeance. The Game went to climb into his car, but stopped and came back to smile at Stephanie. The two held eye contact for a minute, until Triple H looked her over and asked, "Are you gaining weight?" Stephanie sneered as The Game got into his car. Stephanie leaned in to the window as it rolled down and came face to face with Bischoff! The RAW GM laughed while the car drove off with Stephanie screaming as SmackDown! closed! [wwe.com] WebMaster's Note: Oh no. I can't stand Stephanie and that "bitchy" voice of hers. Hopefully Triple H will get tired of her real quickly and stuff something in that big mouth of hers. 07/19/02 Internet Rumor ----- Stephanie McMahon is the subject of some locker room heat lately. Many claim she is very frustrated recently and does not take well to non-writers questioning the direction of her writing teams. 07/21/02 Vengeance PPV Bischoff and Coach waited outside Stephanie McMahon's office when her attorney tried to enter. Bischoff stopped him and told him to take a walk, but the lawyer said he was called there to deliver some documents. The lawyer entered and Bischoff looked very upset. Bischoff continued his vigil outside Stephanie's office, and the SmackDown! GM finally emerged, stone faced. Bischoff gloated that she couldn't get Triple H signed, but Stephanie stared at him point-blank and said that The Game did sign. Triple H came out and got a tongue-lashing from Bischoff. Triple H said that the papers he had signed were divorce papers, but he had yet to decide on which brand to sign with. Midway through the PPV Triple H entered the ring to a thunderous ovation as fans hoped to learn where The Game would end up competing. Before he could speak, Eric Bishoff stopped The Game to apologize for getting involved in his personal business. If Triple H signed with RAW, Bischoff promised his personal life would never come into play again. Bischoff said he's spent the past two years networking in Hollywood. He said everyone was looking for the next breakout WWE Superstar, and they were all talking about Triple H. Bischoff guaranteed that if Triple H signed with RAW, he'd be getting top opportunities coming his way. Stephanie McMahon stepped out to issue her own pitch. She said that because of her personal history with Triple H, the two of them know each other very well. She said the two of them were once unstoppable and they can be again. Bischoff cut her off and begged her to stop. Stephanie cited that Triple H once told her how Bischoff said Triple H had no talent and no charisma. Bischoff said he was young at the time and didn't know what he had, but he still has a lot more experience that Stephanie. The two continued to bicker back and forth, until Triple H stepped up with his microphone. The Game told Eric "I could come out here, look you dead in the eye, and I could say screw you, and I don't think you'd like it very much. On the other hand, I could look at Steph over here, and I could say screw you, and well quit frankly I know she likes it!" Triple H went to shake Bischoff's hand, but pulled it away. He said he would rather go with the devil he knows, rather than the one he doesn't know. Before he could go any further, though, Shawn Michaels came out to shake things up. HBK said the last thing he wanted to do was cause any trouble. He didn't want to get involved, but he remembered pledging to bring Triple H to the nWo. HBK said there's nobody in the world that Triple H is better friends with. HBK told his friend to imagine the two back together again, making Bischoff's life a living hell. Triple H said that was a tempting offer. He then turned and hugged HBK, making official his switch to RAW! Triple H and HBK left, and Bischoff gloated over his victory. Bischoff said the difference between the two of them is that he's got testicles and she doesn't. Stephanie whacked Bischoff on the side of the head and left!
