10 WWE Stars Who Need To Turn In 2017

10. Stephanie McMahon

It's ironic: Stephanie McMahon's best for business schtick as Authority figurehead and RAW Commissioner is absolutely dire for business.

RAW ratings started tumbling - even by the declining standards of the wider cable TV trend - in 2013. The spiral occurred in parallel with the introduction of Stephanie's unbearable, self-serving megalomaniac corporate character. That surely isn't a coincidence because Stephanie is an atrocious heel. She has completely failed to grasp the essence of how a great antagonist is meant to function - i.e., to drip feed catharsis to her audience. She takes an inadvertent bump once per year - a necessary caveat in the PG era - but one moment of retribution hardly excuses a year of detached and obnoxious burials.

With Kurt Angle installed as a babyface General Manager, the stage is unfortunately set for Stephanie McMahon to return and castrate him for some such business decision or other - as all the while, fans push their fingers into their eyeballs with the ironic knowledge that it is the creative regime Stephanie oversees that is to blame for the programme's awful quality.

This entry is as unrealistic as the highest, somewhat predictable suggestion - but a Stephanie McMahon face turn would instantly empower every single member of the roster. Surely, that should be the point. Who wants to watch a bunch of subservient combat athletes bow at her dominance?

Very few, if ratings are a reliable metric. Sadly, they're not. Even WWE knows this.
