10 Questions Steve Austin Must Ask Stephanie McMahon On WWE Network Podcast
10. Her Thoughts On The Current Product
The WWE is currently in something of a creative slump and experiencing fan backlash. They want performers like Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose and especially Daniel Bryan on top but feel as though WWE is forcing the likes of John Cena and Roman Reigns down their throat. Now WWE fans are voicing their opinion, booing Reigns at live events and trying to sabotage his big babyface push. Rightly or wrongly, WWE fans are expressing themselves and giving their opinion on the creative direction of the company. What does a high-ranking WWE official like Stephanie McMahon think about this? Austin should definitely start proceedings by asking Steph first what she thinks about the product and then maybe follow that up by asking her how Vince is responding to it and what the creative direction of the company is at present. Triple H gave his own explanation of what the 'Reality Era' is, but what does it mean to Stephanie? Who does Stephanie, a very influential backstage figure, want to see in the main events? Does she keep an eye on NXT? Is there anyone that she thinks should be in a top spot but, for whatever reasons, aren't? Steph has a lot of say backstage and is (or was) very hands-on with the creative and would have a lot to say about the direction of the company at present, especially considering she is an on-screen talent as well.
