...only, no, she won't.
Stephanie had been running roughshod over the entire roster in the opening year of the Authority angle. Belittling everybody around her, she was well overdue to do what heels have sustained the wrestling business doing for decades - receive her comeuppance and give the fans the catharsis they'd been waiting for.
That's how any right-minded individual would have booked her match against Brie Bella at SummerSlam 2014, anyway. The build-up was going so well, too. Brie had orchestrated Stephanie's arrest, called her a b*tch, and stood up to her in a manner which the WWE Universe had been crying out for.
As the fans' surrogate, and a former Diva's champion, Brie should have gone on to squash non-wrestler Stephanie in a short match. This vengeance was a year in the making. The angle with Nikki's heel turn, though, was a groan-inducing cop-out; it ensured that Brie would fail in the eyes of the audience, and it was barely even necessary.
Steph more than held her own in what was a competitive back-and-forth 11:06 match, before going on to wrestle precisely no more matches. If there were no plans to have her step through the ropes again, why did she insist on rag-dolling Brie around the ring?
