“If she wants to blame me, that’s fine” When Triple H opened up about his split from Chyna

[ad_1]

One of the biggest off-screen wrestling stories of the early 2000s revolved around Triple H’s love life. The Game dated former WWE colleague Chyna between 1996 and 2000 before starting a relationship with Stephanie McMahon. .

In 2002, WWE’s chief content officer appeared on TSN’s Off The Record with Michael Landsberg before his WrestleMania 18 match against Chris Jericho. He was happy to discuss several controversial topics, including his split from Chyna.

During the interview, Landsberg played a clip from The Ninth Wonder of the World on his show three months earlier. She made the following comment about Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, dating Stephanie:

“It’s not for me to judge,” Chyna said. “People say, ‘What do you think she’s taking Paul?’ But you’re not taking anyone in. You have to go there voluntarily, and I don’t blame Stephanie, I blame Paul.

Reacting immediately to the remarks, Triple H claimed that his relationship with Chyna had already crumbled before he and Stephanie got together:

“I mean, yeah, if there’s someone to blame, if she wants to blame me, that’s fine. Our relationship had taken a turn for the worse a bit before all of this happened. We were down long before that, and when you’re around someone 24 hours a day on the road, it’s hard on a business level. But it’s also hard on a relationship level outside of this business. This business is very difficult for relationships.

Triple H married Stephanie McMahon on October 25, 2003. They have three daughters together: Aurora Rose (born in 2006), Murphy Claire (born in 2008) and Vaughn Evelyn (born in 2010).

How Triple H sees his relationship with Chyna

The 14-time WWE World Champion had no problem taking the blame for his deteriorating relationship with Chyna. However, he felt his ex-girlfriend was having a hard time accepting that they were breaking up as a couple.

Triple H added that he wished nothing but the best for Chyna, who left WWE four months before the interview was taped:

“We had taken a bad swing before that. I think she doesn’t see that part and that’s fine. If she blames me and she’s got a lot of anger, I understand that, but I wish her the best. Things just didn’t work out between us, and that happens in life.”

The king of kings was asked why he started dating someone else in the same industry instead of a non-wrestling personality. At the time, he thought a partner outside of WWE would likely struggle to understand his schedule and dedication to the company.
