10 Best Heels Of WWE's PG Era
9. Stephanie McMahon And Triple H (The Authority)
Daniel Bryan's triumphant WrestleMania journey was undeniably bolstered by the quality of those he was rebelling against. With Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, WWE presented the epitome of fan's perception of backstage politics and the two played their roles to perfection.
The power couple dictated most of the company's main angles and revelled in the hatred their overexposure drew from fans. In terms of Stephanie, she unfortunately crossed the line between genuinely effective heel and confusing figure head who was detrimental to those around her during her run as head of RAW.
Triple H began the PG Era as a fun loving member of DX before portraying a grizzled veteran hell bent on ending Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. When he failed in his pursuit , he evolved into a manipulative COO, effectively playing the role that the internet community had cast him in for years. The move was insulting, infuriating, and unbearable in the best possible ways.
Whoever came up against the rejuvenated McMahon-Helmsley connection were embraced by fans to an unprecedented degree. The Shield, Usos, Samoa Joe, and of course Daniel Bryan all benefited from The Authority's storyline stranglehold on the company.
