WWE摔角選手Chyna為何對Triple H充滿怨恨
Chyna(本名 Joanie Laurer)對Triple H(Paul “HHH” Levesque)的憎恨,並非單純的情侶分手,而是一段交織著愛情、權力、事業與名聲崩裂的複雜糾葛。這段恩怨發生在WWE(當時仍處於Attitude Era全盛時期)的權力重組關鍵階段,也因此格外敏感與戲劇化。
在感情層面上,Chyna與HHH曾是現實生活中的長期伴侶。兩人在1990年代中後期交往,當時雙方都在WWE事業快速上升。Chyna作為DX(D-Generation X)的核心成員之一,是摔角史上少見能與男性選手對打、並奪得洲際冠軍的女性選手,被譽為「第九奇蹟」。而HHH也從中階反派逐步躍升為主線劇情的核心人物。兩人既是情侶,也是事業戰友。
然而在1999年至2000年間,HHH 與WWE老闆Vince McMahon的女兒Stephanie McMahon在劇情合作過程中關係升溫,最終從幕前故事線發展為真實戀情。Chyna後來在多次訪談中表示,她並非從對方口中得知真相,而是在家中發現 Stephanie 寫給HHH的情書,才意識到這段感情已經變質。對她而言,這不只是情感背叛,更是一種羞辱與欺瞞。
隨著HHH與Stephanie的關係公開並正式交往,權力結構也產生巨大變化。Stephanie作為公司高層家族成員,其影響力迅速上升,而HHH在公司中的地位亦同步鞏固。Chyna始終認為,在這樣的權力版圖重組之下,她逐漸被邊緣化。2001年,她在合約談判過程中與公司未能達成共識,最終離開WWE。雖然公司對外說法是合約問題與薪資談判破裂,但Chyna多年來堅信,自己之所以被迫出局,是因為HHH希望徹底切割過去,避免尷尬,同時鞏固自身與McMahon家族的權力聯盟。
離開 WWE 之後,Chyna的人生並未如她在擂台上的形象那般強勢。她在公開場合多次指控HHH在兩人交往期間對她進行精神與肢體上的虐待。這些指控始終未進入司法審理層面,也未有法律定論,HHH一直否認相關說法。然而,這些公開指責使雙方關係更加決裂,也讓外界輿論長期處於分裂狀態。
隨著時間推移,Chyna屢次表達希望能重返WWE或入選名人堂,但始終未能如願。她認為自己遭到長期封殺,甚至相信HHH在背後影響公司決策,使她無法重回主流摔角舞台。當她轉向成人影業與真人實境節目發展時,這段經歷也成為媒體討論焦點。她曾坦言,那是她在被摔角界拋棄後、失去方向與資源下所做的選擇。在她的敘事裡,這一連串人生轉折的源頭,都可追溯到那場感情與權力交織的決裂。
2016年,Chyna因藥物意外過世,享年46歲。她生前始終未能以個人身份進入 WWE名人堂。直到2019年,WWE才以DX團體成員的名義讓她入選名人堂。這項榮譽被視為對她歷史地位的遲來承認,但也有人認為,這樣的方式無法完全彌補她生前的遺憾。
回顧這段恩怨,它不僅是一場私人情感破裂,更是摔角產業中權力、家族、事業與個人尊嚴交錯的縮影。Chyna與HHH的衝突,成為WWE歷史中最具爭議與戲劇性的真實故事之一,也讓這位曾經打破性別界線的傳奇人物,在榮耀與傷痛之間留下難以抹滅的印記。
Chyna (real name Joanie Laurer) did not simply “hate” Triple H (Paul “HHH” Levesque) because of a breakup. Their conflict was a complex entanglement of romance, power, career politics, and personal betrayal. It unfolded during a pivotal period in WWE’s Attitude Era, when backstage power dynamics were rapidly shifting, which made the situation even more volatile.
On a personal level, Chyna and HHH were long-term partners in real life throughout the late 1990s. At the time, both were rising stars in WWE. As a founding member of D-Generation X (DX), Chyna became one of the most groundbreaking female performers in wrestling history. She competed against male wrestlers and even won the Intercontinental Championship, earning the nickname “The Ninth Wonder of the World.” Meanwhile, HHH was ascending from a mid-card villain to one of the company’s top main-event stars. They were not only romantically involved but also closely linked professionally.
Around 1999–2000, however, HHH began working closely on-screen with Stephanie McMahon, daughter of WWE chairman Vince McMahon. What started as a storyline partnership reportedly evolved into a real-life relationship. In later interviews, Chyna said she did not learn about the relationship directly from HHH. Instead, she claimed she discovered a love letter Stephanie had written to him in their home, which revealed the affair. To Chyna, this was not just a romantic betrayal, but a humiliating deception.
As HHH and Stephanie’s relationship became public and eventually official, WWE’s internal power structure shifted dramatically. Stephanie’s influence within the company increased as she took on executive responsibilities, and HHH’s status rose alongside hers. Chyna believed that as this new alliance consolidated power, she was gradually pushed aside. In 2001, she left WWE after failing to reach a new contract agreement. While the company cited financial negotiations as the reason, Chyna maintained for years that she was effectively forced out. She believed HHH wanted to sever ties with the past to avoid personal awkwardness and to solidify his position within the McMahon family hierarchy.
After leaving WWE, Chyna’s life became increasingly turbulent. She publicly accused HHH multiple times of emotional and physical abuse during their relationship. These allegations were never adjudicated in court, and HHH consistently denied them. Nonetheless, the accusations deepened the rift between them and fueled ongoing public controversy.
In the years that followed, Chyna repeatedly expressed a desire to return to WWE and to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, those hopes were not realized during her lifetime. She believed she had been blacklisted and suggested that HHH influenced company decisions preventing her return. When she later entered the adult film industry and appeared on reality television, the move attracted widespread media attention. Chyna stated that she felt abandoned by the wrestling industry and had few options at the time. In her own narrative, the downward spiral of her post-WWE life traced back to the personal and professional rupture involving HHH and Stephanie.
In 2016, Chyna died from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 46. During her lifetime, she was never inducted individually into the WWE Hall of Fame. In 2019, WWE finally inducted D-Generation X as a group, including Chyna. While many viewed this as a long-overdue recognition of her legacy, others felt it did not fully address the unresolved tensions and regrets that marked her later years.
Ultimately, the conflict between Chyna and HHH was more than a failed relationship. It became a symbol of how love, power, family politics, and corporate ambition can collide in the high-stakes world of professional wrestling. Her story remains one of the most controversial and emotionally charged real-life dramas in WWE history.
