The Ninth Wonder of the World Chyna was arguably the one to revolutionize the women’s division in wrestling. Her immense clout and impressive physique not only struck fear in women but also gave male wrestlers a run for their money. Chyna was a tough act to follow for many years as her impact on the world of wrestling could not be recreated even after she left. The former Women’s Champion was also the first-ever woman to participate in the men’s Royal Rumble in 1999. Chyna caused shockwaves after she eliminated Mark Henry in the Rumble.
While Chyna is recognized as a woman that was as tough as nails, she was also known for battling her demons in her personal life. Years after she left WWE, Chyna fell into the traps of drug addiction.
Her life spiraled down around the time her s*x tape was released. And unfortunately, things did not end well for Chyna as she died due to a drug overdose in 2016. Part of her depression stemmed from her breakup with the now-Head of Creative Triple H.
WWE legend recalls when Chyna threatened to end Stephanie McMahon’s life
Chyna was one of the primary members of Degeneration X. During the active years of DX, Chyna and Triple H were in a romantic relationship. However, the couple broke up soon after Triple H fell in love with the Boss’s daughter Stephanie McMahon.
Speaking on his Kilq This podcast, Kevin Nash looked back on when Chyna threatened to kill Stephanie McMahon.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Chyna. I don’t care what anybody says. I will always love Triple H and Chyna together more than Triple H and Stephanie. Triple H and Chyna will always be one of my favorite wrestling couples of all time. They always had each other’s back. pic.twitter.com/WwLsmFiT6X

“There was some tension, I think. Joanie Laurer(Chyna) said she was going to end Stephanie’s life. It was f*cked up.” Said Nash.
A Happy Birthday wish to Stephanie McMahon from Chyna. When Chyna gave Stephanie a DDT in the ring, the most fun that Chyna loved doing to someone who stabbed her in the back and ruined the once great life Chyna had, then crushing her dreams

Tensions flared between the trio and ultimately ended up in Chyna’s release from the company. Chyna was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame class of 2019 as a member of DX. However, Triple H and Shawn Michaels have pushed for her to be inducted again into the HOF as a singles performer.
Stephanie McMahon recalls how Triple H’s cohabitation with Chyna almost ended their relationship
Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque have been married for almost 20 years now. The duo’s relationship is emblematic of a power couple that has worked together through the years toward the success of WWE. The couple have three daughters together.
Trips and Steph fell in love while the Game was still in a live-in relationship with Chyna. Speaking on The Howard Stern Show, Stephanie McMahon recalled how Triple H’s cohabitation with Chyna almost ended their relationship.
The REAL marriage of Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque (Triple H) took place on October 25, 2003. In typical Vince McMahon fashion, he approached both his daughter and future son in law about the possibilities of having their wedding done live on pay per view. He was denied. pic.twitter.com/DiEAJCxuor

“Supposedly, they weren’t dating at that point. They had a house together, and they were trying to get out of the house or whatever,” said McMahon. We saw each other for a couple of months and then when it came apparent to me that obviously, she’s living in your house something’s going on we stopped talking for a long time.”
Exactly 20 years ago, the onscreen marriage of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came to an end after Triple H learned that Stephanie faked her pregnancy (among other things) as they were renewing their wedding vows. pic.twitter.com/U9oXaWJZjZ

The couple eventually resolved their dispute and even went against Vince McMahon’s rule that Stephanie was not allowed to date a wrestler and tied the knot in 2003.
