You would think that Triple H stealing Test's wife would lead to a big feud between the two, right? Nope! They might have had a match on Raw or something (I don't even really remember), but Test was shuffled back down to the lower-midcard fairly quickly, never to return. They capitalized on his prominence in the storyline by...having him win the Hardcore Title from the Bossman.
With Vince out of commission, Stephanie and Triple H took executive command of the WWF, calling their reign "The McMahon-Helmsley Era." With the rest of DX as their muscle, they ruled with an iron fist, and one of the first orders of business was Triple H regaining the WWF Championship from Big Show on the first Raw of 2000 to become a 3-time WWF Champion, only the 8th man to accomplish that feat.
Also in a clear abuse of power, they had Rock face off against Mankind in a Pink Slip On A Pole match, where whoever grabbed the pink slip would keep their job and the loser would be fired (which is thematically backwards but still). Rock won and Foley was released, but the next week on Raw, the Rock and most of the roster held a sit-in to force Foley's reinstatement, to at least prove to Steph and Hunter that the locker room would not stand for extremely gross abuse of power, since they couldn't fire everybody or else they'd have no show. I appreciated the attempt at showing why the heel authority figures still had to operate within a certain ruleset that they could bend but not break, given that they essentially have god powers over the company.
The IC Title situation is murky. Jericho had a rematch with Chyna in which no winner was declared due to a double-pin (the old german suplex spot IIRC where the person giving it has their shoulders down too). Steph and Trips declared that Jericho and Chyna were now co-champions, each having claim to the title, with alternating title defenses, and that at the Rumble they would have a match to determine who would be the sole Champion moving forward.
WWE has since retconned this. OFFICIALLY now, as of the double-pin, the title was vacant, and the match at the Rumble is for a vacant title, despite how it's presented on the PPV itself. Because how can two people hold the same title? That's just silly and assuredly would never happen again in WWE. <_____<
