10 Times WWE Made A Massive Mess & NOBODY Cared

5. Stephanie McMahon Takes The Cake

Stephanie McMahon so rarely has to face comeuppance for her actions on WWE pay-per-views let alone television, so a surprise dunking on Monday Night Raw was a welcome antidote to some of her perverse posturing. The fact that she played up to the moment so spectacularly made it all the more satisfying.

Bullying and booking Vickie Guerrero all the way out of the company in 2014, McMahon turned the perennial heel babyface just by the force of how horrific she was, booking her in a handicap mud match for a not-at-all-fitting farwell.

After initially sending her heel foes into the filth, Vickie got done at the death thanks to Stephanie herself and appeared to be ending her time with the company dignity-free. But a shock was in store for the 'Billion Dollar Princess'.

Having one last look to the heavens for the nudge from late husband Eddie, Vickie sent McMahon into the mud for one final stolen pop. McMahon, to her credit sold the humiliation with abject mortification - almost as if she'd finally realised how important it was for heels to show weakness.

It wouldn't last.
