We end our list with the storyline romance between Trish Stratus and Vince McMahon which started sometime around 2001. Linda McMahon was the WWE CEO in storyline at this point and she backed WWE Commissioner Mick Foley instead of Vince. This led to Vince asking Linda for a ‘divorce’ following which Linda suffered a mental breakdown and was forced to be institutionalized.

With Linda a nervous wreck, Vince started an affair with Trish Stratus which led to Trish shortly feuding with Stephanie McMahon. Around this time, Vince also started to demean Trish on-screen.

All this led to Vince facing his son Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 17 with Mick Foley as guest referee. Linda was at ringside during the match in a wheelchair after being wheeled out by Trish Stratus. Trish turned on Vince and slapped him before she and Stephanie brawled their way out of the arena.

Vince brought Linda inside the ring at one point and she low-blowed him, helping Shane win the match after Coast To Coast.
