Over the years, there have been more than several incidents involving a plethora of WWE superstars and divas locking lips. The nature of these kisses have been different. Some of them were culminations of a romantic storyline, some were the genesis of a love triangle.
Some of them involved betrayal while some occurred merely for comic relief. Some had emotion, passion and genuine affection. There have been recurring themes of desire and lust. There have been one-shot instances which may or may not have been forgotten about, unless people are reminded about them years removed in one of such lists.
The reason for incorporation of kisses in storylines on WWE programming is quite simple. It has the ability to evoke countless reactions and responses from the fans worldwide. It can make ratings pop. It helps to add layers to the characters. It makes men yearn and women fawn.

However, every once in a while here have been moments which left professional wrestling fans in awe and made their jaws drop. Here, we take a look at 10 WWE kisses that shocked the world.
#10 Beth Phoenix kisses The Great Khali
After spending his first couple of years in the WWE, The Great Khali adopted a more fun-loving persona of the ‘Punjabi playloy’. The scthick involved Khali in segments where women would be given an opportunity to lock lips with the Punjabi wrestler called ‘The Great Khali Kiss Cam’.
During the 2010 Royal Rumble, Beth Phoenix became the second ever female competitor to enter a Royal Rumble match, entering at #6. Upon enterting the ring, The Glamazon had a stare down with the Punjabi Monster.
Khali picked her up and placed her outside the ring on the apron. Phoenix scrambling to stay in the Royal Rumble pulled Khali by his hair and planted a kiss on the 7-footer in the process eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match. Phoenix would soon be eliminated by CM Punk.
This moment got one of the biggest reactions of the night. Think about it, other than a returning Edge winning the Royal Rumble this was the most memorable moment from that Rumble match.
#9 AJ Lee kisses CM Punk
AJ Lee spent the last quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 as the submissive girlfriend of World Champion Daniel Bryan. However Bryan’s constant rebuffal led to Lee turning her attention towards securing the affection of WWE Champion CM Punk.
She later transformed into a psychotic, puppy-eyed, skipping nutcase and found herself in the middle of a storyline involving CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Kane.
During the July 2, 2012 edition of RAW, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan were on the opposite sides of a tag team match as the former, teamed with John Cena and latter with Chris Jericho. During the finish where both Punk and Bryan are down, here comes AJ, skipping around the ring.
AJ Lee brings out a table setting it up near the ringside. She slowly climbs the turnbuckle, looking to jump through the table. Daniel Bryan & CM Punk both plead with her to not jump.
AJ plants a kiss on Punk, and pushes him off the turnbuckle, sending both Punk & Bryan crashing through the table. Standing on the turnbuckle, AJ starts chanting YES! to close the show. This was one of the most bizzare endings in Mondat Night RAW history
#8 Eve Torres and John Cena share a kiss
Zack Ryder accomplished more in the fall of 2011 than he ever had in his career. He became one of the most popular superstars in the company and won the United States Championship at Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2011.
He also got involved in an on-screen romantic relationship with Eve Torres. Concurrently, his ally John Cena was embroiled in a rivalry with the Big Red Monster Kane. Ryder became a punching bag for the Devil’s Favorite Demon.
On the February 13th, 2012 edition of RAW, Kane kidnapped Eve and dumped her in an ambulance. John Cena arrived on the scene and after a scuffle with Kane rescued Eve. Eve expressed her gratitude in form of a steamy kiss.
Later the camera panned to a devasted and confused wheel-chair ridden Zack Ryder, who witnessed the shock of his friend kissing the love of his life. Things went from bad to worse for Ryder as later Eve essentially friendzoned him.
#7 Lita kisses Edge
2005 was an interesting year in the life of Rated R Superstar Edge.
He won the inaugral Money in the Bank Ladder match at Wrestlemania 21. However. behind the scenes he developed a relationship with Lita. Lita, in a kayfabe sense, was married to Kane.
Later WWE decided to integrate real life into the storyline as the trio became involved in an angle which had a major development on May 16th 2005 edition of RAW.
In a match between Edge and Kane, the finish saw the refree knocked down. Edge wanted to take advantage of this situation as he took his MITB briefcase and proceeded to hit Kane, in vain.
Later, Lita slipped the briefcase inside the ring for Edge, distracting Kane, which allowed the Ultimate Opportunist to hit the Demon with his briefcase and secure the win
The couple embraced and made out on-stage as Kane was left looking shell-shocked. Edge went on to become multiple time World Champion and was part of one of the hottest couples in WWE history with Lita. This provided for a very shocking betrayal with the exclaimation point capped off by a kiss.
#6 Vickie Guerrero kisses The Big Show
Vickie Guerrero, the former RAW and SmackDown General Manager, was involved in an on-screen romance with Edge for the better part of 2 years. Edge won the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out 2009 after forcefully inserting himself into the chamber match, having lost his WWE Championship hours prior in the structure.
RAW GM Guerrero announced that Edge would defend his newly won title against The Big Show at Wrestlemania XXV. However, during the contract signing for the same, John Cena crashed the scene and proposed to show a footage which involved Big Show and Vickie Guerrero kissing
Through that footage, Cena revealed that Show and Vickie Guerrero were having an secret adulterous affair that he caught on a security camera. Her then-husband, Edge, was was beyond shocked, Cena had blackmailed Vickie into inserting him in the World title match or else he would expose her which he later went on and did anyway.
The pair later seperated. John Cena went on to defeat both Edge and Show for the World Heavywweight Championship at Wrestlemania 25.
Look how well that worked out for John Cena
#5 Edge kisses Alicia Fox
Can anyone leave Edge and Vickie alone? Obviously this was before the incident mentioned in the previous slide. The roles between the two were swtiched for this one. Edge and Vickie had broken up after Edge called off their wedding in frustration and reaction to him losing his World Heavyweight Championship.
However just a week later Edge re-proposed to Vickie and wedding was right back on.
During the July 18th 2008 edition of Smackdown, a wedding reception was held for Edge and Vickie Guerrero. The WWE Champion Triple H interrupted the proceedings and claimed he had the gifts for the couple who had just tied the matrimonial knot. Instead he showed a footage in which Edge made out with the wedding planner Alicia Fox
Vickie had pretty much the same reaction Edge had in the previous slide multiplied by 100 as she went absolutely nuts and yelled and squirmed at the Rated R Superstar who could do nothing but hang his head in shame. This was also the introduction of Alicia Fox to the WWE.
#4 Vince McMahon kisses various divas
Vince McMahon has probably had more tongue tangos with more divas than anybody and the list is so long, it’s just so hard include them seperately. McMahon had more affairs with divas than anyone would probably care to count and to no surprise.
He is the most powerful figure in sports entertainment. There was a period during early 2000s where the reccuring theme involved Vince kissing divas on screen.
His greatest affair probably was with his on-screen mistress Trish Stratus. His wife Linda McMahon was heavily sedated from years of mental abuse by Vince and Vince took full advantage and began his romance with the Canadian blonde bombshell.
He also kissed new-comers Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler, which later turned out to be a ruse initiated by Linda McMahon to catch her husband in the act
He later had storylines where he was involved with Sable and Candice Michelle. Vince was clearly delighted in making out with each of them and it wasn’t rare to see Vince doing the tongue tango with one of his WWE Divas. When it happened, it always served as a shocking moment for WWE fans.
#3.Stephanie McMahon and Triple H kiss in front of Vince McMahon
For the better part of the last 4 years, the McMahon Family and Triple H have been part of the dominant ‘Authority’ storyline. In a 1999 storyline, Triple H and Vince feuded, with Triple H and Stephanie marrying on-screen. Triple H later revealed that he had drugged the Billion Dollar Princess and forced her to go through with the wedding ceremony.
When Triple H defeated McMahon at Armageddon that year, Stephanie embraced him and told her dad the wedding was for real, making her a super villain. The following night on RAW, Stephanie explained her actions from the previous night and her love for Triple H, flaunting her wedding ring.
While on the stage, daddy’s little girl kissed The Game, well, in front of daddy. This ushered in the McMahon-Helmsley Era.
#2.Randy Orton attacks and kisses Stephanie McMahon
Triple H and Randy Orton were embroiled in one of the most personal and controversial rivalries in WWE history. The two were set to face each other at Wrestlemania XXV for the WWE Championship, held by Triple H.
This feud trascended just championships when Randy Orton punted Vince McMahon in the skull on an episode of RAW. He later also got involved in a brief feud with Triple H’s brother-in-law Shane McMahon, whom he defeated in a grueling bout at No Way Out.
However, none of those actions came close to the heinousness and dastardliness of what The Viper did next. In the penultimate episode of RAW in the build up to Wrestlemania XXV, Randy Orton attacked both Stephanie and Triple H.
He found a way to handcuff the Cerebral Assassin to the ropes and then turned his attention to Stephanie and DDT’ed her to the ground. He then went on to plant a kiss on an incapacitated Stephanie as a helpless, handcuffed and furious Triple H looked on.
This was truly one of the most shocking moments in recent RAW history and the kiss proved to be a great touch to this segment.
#1.Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie kiss
This one is the most peculiar one on the list. Even though WWE has tried to be liberal in terms of their mentality as the time passed by, they never truly dived into a full-blown, full-fledged homosexual angle.
They have come close several times to pushing those boundaries. None more so, than during the now infamous Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie storyline from 2002.
Marie begin a fake relationship with Wilson's real-life father Al Wilson as blackmail to convince Torrie to sleep with her. When she refused, Dawn developed 'genuine' feelings for Al and the two married each other.
The highlight of this long feud occurred at Armageddon 2002, in which Marie released footage of the two women in a hotel room, which involved Dawn Marie slowly seducing a hesistating Wilson. It concluded with a steamy kiss and provided one of the most shocking (but good) moments in WWE history.
