#2 Kissing Stephanie McMahon
Although this was discussed backstage and executed as a storyline, it’s rather unlikely that any other Superstar would have been given the licence to kiss Stephanie McMahon on live television, in front of Triple H no less.
And this was long past the time when their marriage was still hush-hush and Kurt Angle could work a believable angle with her.

Triple H, as ever, works the best rivalries with his real-life friends and his relationship with Randy Orton really helped in getting this one over too. Orton, flanked by his Legacy sidekicks, went on a sadistic romp to try and concuss the entire McMahon family, punt kicking Vince and Shane in the head before laying out Stephanie McMahon herself.
Having handcuffed Triple H to the ropes, he then proceeded to plant a kiss on the unconscious Stephanie McMahon – who was agonisingly inches away from the reach of her despairing husband.
Although it was a terrific storyline and one of the highlights of the PG era in hindsight, you can’t help but marvel at just how much the WWE actually let Randy Orton get away with.
