10 Best Heels In WWE Today
8. Stephanie McMahon
Stephanie McMahon can be one of the most frustrating characters on WWE TV. As good as her heel work has been since WrestleMania, the way she's booked as more threatening than anyone on the roster - and at the expense of the stars on the roster - is maddening. It's not hard to imagine that if Kevin Owens was booked similarly, he'd be a star on the level that WWE needs him to be.
Still, it's impossible to overlook that Stephanie McMahon has really excelled as of late, far more than her father, brother, or husband during their television appearances. Where Shane McMahon seems to have trouble remembering his lines, Stephanie is completely confident in her performance. Where Triple H drones on and on, Stephanie is quick, cutting, and effective in just a few lines. Where Vince skirts the line between heel and babyface, Stephanie is comfortable being hated.
This isn't to say that her character couldn't benefit from a change of presentation - she doesn't have to dress down and/or slap every active star on the roster. Still, though, as worn out as the "heel McMahon authority figure" trope is, Stephanie makes it feel like it's still got some legs.
