6 storyline WWE romances that went off the rails

#2 Kane and Tori

Tori and Kane

One thing some younger WWE fans must remember about this storyline was that before this, Kane was just depicted as a monster on television. The relationship with Tori and his friendship with X-Pac were the first time Kane got to show character and personality. Kane had already had bad luck with friends before this, getting betrayed by The Corporation and Chyna before finally finding a friend in X-Pac.

Kane and Tori’s relationship started at about the same time X-Pac turned his back on his former friend. Kane was at war with DX at the time which led to Tori going to the authority – Triple H and Stephanie McMahon – to file a complaint.

This led to Stephanie booking herself in a match against Tori. At the last moment, X-Pac took Stephanie’s place in the match and swiftly beat Tori. Kane, meanwhile, was attacked backstage by the Mean Street Posse. Stephanie then announced that Kane would get a title shot against the Big Show but if he failed to win the title, Tori would have to spend Christmas with X-Pac.

Predictably, Kane lost thanks to outside interference, meaning that Tori and X-Pac spent Christmas together. Tori told Kane she still loved him after she got back from her vacation with X-Pac, but was clearly behaving somewhat strangely.

Kane was attacked by the McMahon-Helmsley faction on an episode of RAW a few weeks later. With Kane tied up in the ropes, X-Pac revealed that he and Tori were now together and that she had cheated on him during the Christmas trip.
