Intelligent, beautiful and enterprising. These three words sum up Stephanie McMahon-
Helmsley perfectly. The youngest McMahon has used these assets to her own advantage, and
to the point where two men (Triple H and Kurt Angle) are fighting over her!
A series of events started by her own father resulted in a dramatic change in Stephanie's
personality. For months, Vince McMahon used her in a game of "chess" with Steve Austin by
keeping her terrified at the Undertaker's constant threat of harm, to the point when she was
kidnapped and nearly sacrificed at a "black wedding."
When that horrifying time was finally over, Stephanie turned to Test for love and affection.
With a wedding date set, fate intervened. Irate at Mr. McMahon, the British Bulldog threw a
metal trash can in protest. It accidentally hit Stephanie, giving her a concussion and amnesia.
Weeks later, Stephanie recovered and set another wedding date. But this one never took place
either. At the eleventh hour, Triple H appeared to say he and Stephanie had been married the
night before in a drive-thru ceremony in Las Vegas.
Stephanie appeared emotionally destroyed, until she stunned the world at Armageddon by
turning on Vince to side with Triple H! Claiming it was the best way to get back at her father
for what he did to her months ago (the plot involving the Undertaker), Stephanie said her
marriage to Triple H was legit, and he "turns her on!"
As husband and wife, Stephanie and Triple H led the World Wrestling Federation into the new
millennium with the McMahon-Helmsley era, and it would never be the same again!
With a heartbroken Vince on hiatus, Stephanie and Triple H unleashed their wrath on the
Federation. Their diabolical tactics forever changed the careers of various Superstars. One was
Mick Foley, who was first fired after losing a Stephanie-ordered Pink Slip on a Pole Match to
The Rock and who subsequently was forced into retirement at No Way Out. Another was Tori
, Kane's ex-girlfriend. Not the same person after forced into spending a holiday weekend with
X-Pac, Tori broke Kane's heart and aligned herself with DX!
Shortly after, Stephanie became the Federation Women's Champion, and reunited with her
father and her brother, Shane to form the McMahon-Helmsley faction with Vince, Shane,
Triple H and DX. With husband and wife both WWF champions, Triple H's and Stephanie's
power was virtually untouchable. But Stephanie was about to face the biggest, most emotional
challenge of her young life!
Stephanie would lose her Women's Championship to Lita, and that was just the beginning of
her problems. Stephanie seemed to take a liking to Kurt Angle. Though it appeared the two
engaged in some suspicious flirting, she and the 1996 Olympic gold medalist insisted they
were "just friends." Yet Angle has kissed her on more than one occasion, incurring the wrath
of an angry Triple H! And now, Stephanie is accompanying Angle to ringside as part of their
"business relationship!"
Caught in the middle of two men fighting over her, Stephanie may someday face a decision
that could change the lives of all involved. Though it may seem she's in a confused state of
mind, rest assured Stephanie has something up her sleeve, and will prove once again that she
is a powerful and influential voice in the Federation!
