Arguably, Becky's character was damaged months before she was slapping Seth on the ass and acting like she was about to lip lock him behind the school's bike shed. During the single most crucial period of the year, WrestleMania season, 'The Man' was written to do something other hard-nosed antiheroes wouldn't.

She apologised to some clearly-power mad authority figures.

On the 11 February episode of Raw, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H demanded that the popular rebel said sorry for attacking them and generally ignoring their despotic, never-ending regime. At first, Bex said 'hell no' in the vein of classic Steve Austin. Then, for some reason, she kowtowed to both and said she was sorry for her antics.

Why!? 'Stone Cold' would never have done something like that. He was the blueprint for Becky's entire persona, and shaking hands with Trips made it look like she was willing to tow the party line rather than plough through it on her way to 'Mania success.
