Love is the put to the Test

However, what truly interests me about Test joining the Alliance is the fact that his former fiancée is one of its leaders. Since Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley has left Test for Triple H, their relationship has been rocky at best. So, I'm interested to see what kind of interaction these two will have.
Will old feelings between these two be rekindled? After all, when you've been in a serious relationship like that it's hard to let those feeling go. Even though Stephanie has been married to Triple H for almost two years now, you have to wonder if working so closely with Test will interfere in the Billion-Dollar Princess' marriage.
Test was hurt and angered when his future bride dissed him at the alter. Some people never recover from that kind of heartbreak. Will Test be able to put that aside and work with Stephanie?
And what will Triple H have to say about this? He is one of the Federation's top superstars, and personally, I don't see him leaving to join the Alliance upon his return. Being married to head of a rival faction has to put some strain on a relationship.
In the past Triple H and Stephanie have worked as a team--using his power inside the ring and her power outside the ring to always get what they want. They are the most powerful couple in sports entertainment, but how can these two work together when Stephanie and her brother are trying to destroy the company that her husband works for? I'm sure Stephanie would love to have Triple H on her side, but what if Triple H doesn't want to be a part of the Alliance? Like I said before, he has made quite a name for himself in the Federation. Does he want to give that all up for his wife?
For argument sake, let's say that Triple H does leave the Federation to join the Alliance. How are he and Test going to work together? I don't care who you are or what causes you are fighting for-you just don't forgive a man who steals your woman. I cannot see how these two could ever unify, especially with both of them working so closely with Stephanie. Sure, when Test was a part of the Federation they were around each other, but Test never had to deal with Stephanie directly. Now she's his boss and there's just no getting around it. So how will Triple H feel about that? He has made no secret of his dislike for Test and has made a point of keeping him away from his wife. One has to wonder if Triple H is afraid that Test might steal her away.
I have to say I don't envy the situation that Stephanie has gotten herself
into. What will she do if Triple H makes her choose between her marriage and her
company? Will she give up her newfound power for her husband? Or will she find
rekindled love with an old flame? Only time will tell, but it sure will be
interesting to see how it all plays out.
