10 Cancelled WWE Storylines
Not every WWE storyline makes it onto TV
2. Stephanie McMahon/Chris Jericho affair
This one is not so much a ‘cancelled’ storyline as much as it is a pitch that could have been good and given a feud some much-needed heat heading into the biggest show of the year.
Chris Jericho proposed that, in order to spice up his rivalry with Triple H in early 2002, it be revealed Y2J was having an affair with Hunter’s wife Stephanie McMahon.
Jericho’s idea revolved around him trying to convince The Game that Steph had committed adultery with Rob Van Dam, only for the ponytailed man in bed with the Billion Dollar Princess to be outed as none other than the Undisputed Champion himself.
The bad news for Jericho was that Vince McMahon thought Triple H would already suspect his wife was cheating, while Hunter didn’t believe his character would be dumb enough to get cheated on.
What we ended up getting was Chris and Steph as ‘business associates’ and Jericho being reduced to the third wheel in a storyline that ought to have been centred around his title and not the champ trying to clean up dog mess.
